Purevision Toric Contact Lenses Allow For An Entire 30 Days Of Continuous Wear

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

Are you looking for a brand of toric contact lenses for astigmatism that let you maximize the amount of time you can keep them in your eyes? Most extended wear brands allow up to seven days of continuous wear. But there is one brand, Purevision Toric contact lenses from Bausch and Lomb, that are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for up to thirty days of continuous non-stop wear before needing replacement. That is an incredibly long period of time for contact lenses.

Clearly, something very special must go into the crafting of lenses with such an incredible wearing schedule. That special thing is AerGel, the substance that makes up each lens. It is a flexible hydrogel with fantastic oxygen permeability, allowing as much as five times as much oxygen to get directly to the eye compared to other lenses. It’s almost like wearing nothing, which gives your eyes the oxygen it needs to stay healthy for as long as you are wearing the lenses.

Any lenses you wear for 30 days non-stop are going to have deal with the issue of dirt and debris accumulation. The magic of AerGel is enhanced by a process Bausch and Lomb calls Performa, which injects ionized gas into each lens and greatly increases its moisture retention powers. Since the lens has so much more moisture, it is easily able to repel and wash away debris before it can cause trouble. Additionally, it prevents the build up of lipids and proteins carried by your tears that would otherwise cause irritation and scratchiness. The net result is a silky smooth feeling for as long as you wear the lenses.

It’s wonderful to wear lenses for 30 days straight, but it is all for nothing if your eyesight isn’t restored to normal. No worries there. Purevision Toric lenses cure your astigmatism by compensating for the odd shape of the astigmatic cornea, which looks more like an oval than a sphere. This compensation means that light rays that were previously scattering around and causing blurry vision now fall squarely back on the retina where they belong. That allows you to once again enjoy perfect 20/20 vision.

The lenses cannot operate to their full potential in curing astigmatism unless they are held securely in place on the eyeball. Bausch and Lomb employs a manufacturing process that creates specially rounded edges on the lenses, which holds them firmly in place instead of revolving around the eye. Additionally, this shape permits tear fluid to get between the lenses and your eye, which also helps to clear out debris and keep the lenses moist.

As with any other lens, it is important that you consult your eye doctor. The idea of such long periods of extended wear is attractive, but only your doctor can tell you if your individual physiology and medical needs will allow you to tolerate the lenses for an extended period of time between replacements.

By the way, you can use these lenses for daily wear and removal if you decide not to use them for extended wear. They feature such a good design for maximum wearing comfort that many people choose them over other brands even if they have no interest in wearing them continuously.

Whether you use Purevision Toric contact lenses for daily wear, for the maximum 30 days of extended wear, or anything in between, you will probably love using them. Maybe it’s the self-cleaning properties that would appeal to you, or the high oxygen availability, or the stability in your eyes, or something else. Whatever it is, if you try them you will discover why these lenses are among the most popular choice of brands available.
