Copyright 2013 Spanish General Council of Optometry. For instance, Air Optix plus with HydraGlyde (Alcon) incorporates two technologiesSmartShield Technology and HydraGlyde Moisture Matrixwhich provide a combination of deposit protection and longer-lasting lens surface moisture.29 According to the manufacturer, lenses with SmartShield technology prevent silicone from reaching the surface of the CLs, which helps the lens surface retain moisture and resist deposition with the intention of maintaining comfort throughout the wearing period. Below is a list of most contact lens materials on the market, their water percentage, their oxygen permeability rating, and manufacturer brands. Though some statistical significance was found between the groups, these differences were within measurement error. Epub 2012 Dec 30.

The SynergEyes VS (Menicon) scleral lens completely vaults the cornea and limbus, landing entirely on the sclera.38 Its toric periphery may be precisely controlled in both the flat and steep meridians, aligning with the scleral for ease of landing and stability.38 This non-rotationally symmetrical lens design incorporates linear landing zones and landing zones with bi-tangential toricity.38 The linear landing zones are designed to follow the linear (rather than curved) shape of the sclera, accommodating a toric sclera.38 This should distribute the lens pressure more equally over the sclera due to the adjustable angles of the flat or steep meridians.38 The company hopes this will improve the scleral lens fit with less risk of air bubble formation or blanching of the conjunctival scleral vessels.38 The toric landing zones can greatly improve vision in patients with residual astigmatism as they are designed to provide consistent stabilization allowing for a front-surface cylinder.

A number of new options have recently come to market in this category. Comparison of 3 silicone hydrogel bandage soft contact lenses for pain control after photorefractive keratectomy. Silicone hydrogel lenses are a more porous type of soft contact lens than regular hydrogel lenses, allowing more oxygen to enter the cornea. The water gradient technology incorporates what the manufacturer calls core and surface optimization: the core material has 33% water content (low water content helps to deliver high oxygen transmissibility) and the surface employs a hydrophilic gel designed to provide lubricity (>80% water). Detailed Description: Clin Exp Optom. Soft contact lenses are one of several types of contact lenses for corrective vision eyewear as prescribed by optometrists and ophthalmologists.[1].

Morgan P, Woods C, Tranoudis I, et al. Coles C, Brennan N. Coefficient of friction and soft contact lens comfort. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses were first introduced in late 1999 1 with the ability to supply sufficient oxygen to the cornea during overnight wear, thus making extended wear possible. Table 1. National Library of Medicine These findings suggest that choice of material is a patient and practitioner preference; however, for patients at risk of hypoxia-related complications, SiHy materials should be considered. This new lens has an increased diameter to ensure full corneal limbus coverage during blinking and includes enlarged optics to help cover larger pupils in low lighting conditions (Tables 1 and 2). 2018 Nov;44 Suppl 2:S273-S276. 2018 Jun;41(3):252-257. doi: 10.1016/j.clae.2017.12.005. .
