Soft lenses of this type are usually worn every day for a fortnight or a month, cleaned and disinfected each day and replaced with a new lens regularly.The benefits of disposable lenses - hygiene and cleanliness - are combined with an economical format and a huge range of availabilities, so they can be worn by nearly everybody.
Silicon Hydrogel Lenses are made from a brand new range of plastics which have finally brought high comfort, high breatheability and resistance to drying for all lens wearers. These plastics have been in development for over 20 years and for many patients they are the healthy lens of first choice. Some silicon hydrogels are approved for sleeping in (extended wear), and others for long hours of wear including short dozes (flexible wear).
Hydrogel Lenses may be the older type of lens, but are available in a wide range of designs and powers, such as multifocal lenses, and are generally more economical.
