SofLens One Day Disposables - a Contact Lens for All Seasons

SofLens One Day lenses are disposable contacts that are thrown in the trash every night after one day of use. Bausch & Lomb SofLens One Day contacts are perfect for anyone new to wearing contact lenses because this type of contacts guarantee that calcium deposits and proteins will not attach themselves to the lenses and irritate your eyes. The lens is made from hilafilcon A material, a hydrophilic copolymer of 2-hydroethyl methacrylate and Nvinyl pyrrolidone, and is 70% water by weight when immersed in a sterile saline solution.

SofLens One Day let you end every day easily and start each day comfortably. They're the ultimate in simplicity, and are surprisingly affordable. These lenses are:

- Comfortable, because they're 70% water
- Convenient, because no daily cleaning, storage or care is required
- Easy to use, with a visibility tint for handling

Allergies occur in an estimated 20 percent of the population, and one-third of allergy sufferers develop ocular symptoms. With more than 35 million contact lens wearers in the United States, a significant number of patients could be suffering from ocular allergies. The more frequently lenses can be replaced, the less the accumulation of allergens. Daily disposables are therefore an excellent option for allergy sufferers.

Few people disagree that daily disposable lenses are the safest way to wear contact lenses if the prescription fits the patient. At a cost of a dollar-a-day to the patient: less than the price of a newspaper and a cup of coffee for clear, comfortable vision, this may become an easier recommendation to make for the everyday as well as the occasional wearer. However, some industry observers worry that the reduction in costs of daily disposable lenses could obsolete many current spherical disposable and even extended wear lenses.

Contact Lens Wear And Care

Before you put your lenses in, ask yourself this question: have I washed my hands? Put on makeup, eye creams and hand lotion after getting the contacts in. This is the most commonly taught method of inserting contacts: place the lens on the index finger of the hand you write with. Use the middle finger of that same hand to hold down the bottom lid by the margin.

Reach over your head with your free hand and hold the top lid by the lid margin. You should have created a large enough opening for the contact lens to go in without touching anything other than the eye. Bring the finger closer towards the eye and when all the edges of the lens touch your eye then the contact will release from your finger and attach to your cornea. Release your hands and slowly close your eye, patting your eye through the lid gently.
