[C996]Contact Lenses Cooper Vision

by Chris Schmidt, Chr

The truth be told, you can no longer see the traffic signs from 30 feet away. But you have just as much trouble reading the sign from 5 feet away. You have reached the age where your vision has once again changed. You may have been born with nearsightedness, unable to see long distances, but after leveling out for years your vision has suddenly changed. Now you are having trouble seeing close up.

This new vision problem occurs naturally and is brought on by aging eyes. Don't worry. Your optometrist that took care of your nearsightedness has a solution for this new sight problem too, and you can continue to wear contact lenses. The solution is called Acuvue bifocal contact lenses. Acuvue bifocal contact lenses can correct both the above problems at the same time.

Bifocals have come a long way from the bookworm looking spectacles that your grandfather may have worn. You no longer have to choose between glasses and contact lenses. Advances in technology are giving you the freedom to move away from the confines of plastic rims and thick glass lenses. You can now go with natural looking, plastic Acuvue bifocal contact lenses.

If you have a condition called Presbyopia then Acuvue bifocal contact lenses are necessary to correct your vision. This condition makes focusing your eyes at close range tough. Presbyopia is very common, it is a natural occurring condition from aging and most experts estimate that about 100 million Americans suffer from the condition and symptoms.

The problem usually shows up as you reach 40, although many people may not actually notice it until a much later age. Once the symptoms of Presbyopia start to affect you, it dramatically changes the way you approach your eye care. You will have to visit your eye doctor annually to keep tabs on how the problem is progressing.

You will have to work closely with your doctor so that he can manage the condition for you. The simple solution to both conditions is that your doctor will suggest you start using Acuvue bifocal contact lenses.

You'll be amazed at how easy Acuvue bifocal contact lenses are to use. There is no reason to worry about your ability to get the hang of using these fantastic contact lenses. Even if you have never worn contacts you will be like an old pro after just a few times of using them. Inserting and removing them will become second nature to you.

Their ease of use is credited to their unique design. The lenses have an inside-out indicator, so you can correctly put them in your eyes the very first time. They are also coated with a visibility tint. This allows you to quickly find them should you for example drop them in the sink. Lastly, you do not have to worry about taking care of them; they have a very flexible wear schedule.

Are you wearing contact lenses right now? Maybe not if you've been viewing the computer screen for a long time. The computer is only one cause of discomfort for contact lens wearers. If you are new to contacts or have developed bad habits in caring for your lenses you may find your eyes are often dry and irritated when wearing them.

Properly caring for your lenses and following the guidelines for your type is important in protecting your vision and ensuring your contacts are comfortable to wear. See if you've been making these mistakes that could be ruining your contacts and possibly harming your eyes.

WHY CLEANING WITH WATER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA...

Your eyes are very sensitive and can easily become infected when you do not clean your lenses properly. The lens develops a build up of deposits that can irritate the eye. Lens cleaning solutions will break down the deposits and disinfect the lens.

Water and homemade saline solutions can contain micro-organisms, chlorine and other minerals that can damage the lens and harm your eyes.

Unless you are wearing disposable lenses you must clean your contacts after every wear. Use an appropriate lens case for storage and clean the case and allow to air dry between uses.

ONLY WEAR CONTACTS FOR THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF TIME

Some contacts are meant to be thrown out after one day of wear. Others can be worn for a week or a month without removing them in between. Most require removal and cleaning every day. It is important to know the schedule your contacts are intended for to prevent problems with your eyes.

HANDLE WITH CARE

When you remove or insert your contacts be sure to handle them with clean, dry hands. Avoid washing your hands with soaps containing perfumes or oils and don't allow sunscreen, hand cream or nail polish remover to come in contact with them.

If your eyes are dry and irritated you can also use eye drops to remoisten your contacts while wearing them rather than trying to take them out. In fact, if your eyes do feel dry and the contact is sticking try to remoisten your contacts before attempting to remove them.

If you wear makeup you should insert the contacts before applying cosmetics and remove them before washing cosmetics off. Powders and sprays can irritate contact lens wearers so be careful when applying powdery shadows or hair spray when wearing contact lens. If irritation occurs DO NOT rub your eyes; remove lenses first and clean them in the cleaning solution before wearing again.

Your vision is invaluable - take care to protect it from harm. If you do think you've injured or infected your eye do not wear your contacts until you have been seen by an eye care specialist.
