Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia: How They Work
People with myopia, also known as nearsightedness, experience blurry vision when looking at distant objects but can see close objects clearly. This occurs when the eye is too long relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens, causing light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina rather than directly on its surface.
Correcting myopia is essential for clear vision and preventing further deterioration.
What Are Soft Contact Lenses?
Soft contact lenses are an excellent option for correcting myopia. Designed with comfort and ease of use in mind, these lenses gently reshape the way light enters the eye, ensuring it focuses correctly on the retina. The advanced materials used in soft contact lenses allow high oxygen permeability, promoting eye health and comfort throughout the day.
Advanced Soft Contact Lens Designs for Myopia Correction
The unique design of soft contact lenses for myopia includes:
- Aspheric Designs: These lenses help reduce spherical aberrations, providing sharper vision.
- High Water Content: Soft contact lenses often contain high water content, ensuring maximum eye comfort and hydration.
- Silicone Hydrogel: This material allows for greater oxygen flow to the cornea, maintaining eye health during prolonged wear.
- UV Protection: Many soft contact lenses offer UV protection, safeguarding the eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
MiSight Contact Lenses
