As you enter the work force you depend on good vision for almost everything you do, including activities outside of work. There are various eye conditions and various ways to treat them.
The most common visual condition is myopia otherwise known as nearsightedness. With today’s use of computers, video games and television on the rise, young adults are becoming more nearsighted than ever before. Gas permeable contact lenses are a great alternative to Lasik surgery to correct and even improve your vision. Studies are underway to see if gas permeable lenses can actually slow the progression of myopia. Glasses and soft contact lenses correct vision, but don’t improve it. Each year you may become more nearsighted in which case you would need stronger and stronger contact lenses or glasses. Most young adults are active and therefore have difficulty keeping up with glasses and contacts so overnight contacts are a great option.
Contex has lenses that are designed to correct and even temporarily reduce myopia. Myopia prevention studies are underway. The Contex AirCurve lens can correct your vision while they are worn, but the Contex OK Lens can improve your vision while you sleep, so you can see all day without glasses or contact lenses.
Usually caused by an oblong or oval shaped cornea, Astigmatism is a very common vision problem, but most people don't know what it is. A normal cornea is round like a basketball, while a cornea with astigmatism is oval like a football. Most types of astigmatism can be corrected with contact lenses. The Contex AirCurve or AirCurve Toric lens can correct your vision while they are worn, but the Contex OK Lens can improve your vision and reduce astigmatism while you sleep, so you can see all day without glasses or contact lenses.
Farsightedness, or Hyperopia, is a vision condition that causes us difficulty seeing objects that are close up. Farsightedness is usually hereditary and appears in childhood. This condition is often discovered when children first start school. These patients have problems doing things such as reading books, but have no problems with far away objects such as the school blackboard. Unlike nearsighted people who only have trouble seeing far away, farsighted people have blurry vision at all distances. As your eyes develop, farsightedness can get better. However, if you are in your 20’s and 30’s and are still affected by hyperopia your condition may not get better. The Contex AirCurve lens comfortable corrects your vision while they are worn.
A small percentage of young adults may develop a condition known as keratoconus. While most of the population will never be affected by this a small percent will experience a decrease in their vision caused by thinning of the cornea. Contex Aspheric lenses can increase patient comfort and vision.
The Contex® AirCurve™ Lens is a single vision lens design that is comfortable and offers excellent visual acuity that cannot be obtained from soft contact lenses. It corrects Myopia, Hyperopia and moderate amounts of Astigmatism.
The Contex® AirCurve™ Toric Lens corrects most amounts of Astigmatism.
The Contex® OK® Lens is the premier lens design used for Bausch & Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment, a method that can reduce nearsightedness so that glasses or daytime contact lenses are not needed. It’s hard to believe, but the OK® Lens improves your vision while you sleep.
Contex aspheric lenses can help to control the progression of keratoconus in young adults. By wearing a Contex Aspheric lens patients can benefit from the stability that these lenses offer.
You should have your eyes checked by an eye care professional at least once a year.
