gas perm lens solutions


When wearing contact lenses, it is especially important to ensure that enough oxygen reaches the cornea. Gas permeable contact lenses stand apart from the general hard contact lenses because they allow oxygen through the lens. This, in turn, supplies the cornea with its needed air. Although gas permeable lenses look just like ordinary hard contacts, they do attract more protein. Therefore it is essential to use gas perm lens solutions when caring for them. Gas perm lens solutions clean, condition and disinfect while helping your eyes remain comfortable.

The three basic steps to caring for your gas permeable lenses are cleaning, rinsing and storing. Naturally you need to use gas perm lens solutions as they are made specifically to maintain these lenses effectively. You will need to rub both sides of your lenses with the cleaning solution before thoroughly rinsing them. Once these two steps are accomplished just store your lenses by ensuring that the solution adequately covers each lens in the storage case. It is generally recommended that lenses remain in their storing solution for four hours before you wear them again. Of course, you must adhere to your doctor's specific advice.

When you are ready to wear your gas permeable lenses again, simply take them straight from the storing solution and place them in your eyes, or for extra comfort, add a few drops of a multi-purpose solution. If you are a new wearer of gas permeable lenses, there may be an adjustment period to reach your desired level of comfort. However, their advantages are noteworthy. Tending to last longer than soft lenses, they can correct astigmatisms while allowing the cornea to breathe.
