Manufacturers have released many new products with improved benefits for longer wear, comfort, and clearer vision. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses have been gaining popularity with doctors and patients. Patients are receiving more oxygen to their eyes, improved comfort, and longer wear time while be offered the convenience of being able to sleep in these lenses. With other contacts, patients chief complaints are decreased wear time associated with dry eyes. These new lenses are allowing more oxygen to the cornea, and patients are enjoying longer wear schedules with clear visual acuity.

Contact lens solution companies have released new formulas to help obtain optimum moisture and comfort for patients wearing silicone hydrogel contact lenses. No rub solutions are being phased out because with these new lenses, rubbing the contact with the multipurpose solutions is the new recommended procedure.

We will be happy to go over the new instructions with you at any time. Significant steps are being made in providing new technology and research in this area. Most companies have already launched the new material in their toric and multifocal lenses, and are working toward introducing new products next year.
