About Contact Lenses
Decided to go for some contact lenses? Good for you, but
before starting to wear them you simply must know something
about these wonderful inventions.
The history of contact lenses started in 1500 when Leonardo
Da Vinci brought into discussion the concept of contact lenses.
Much later, in 1823 a British astronomer discovered that eyesight
could be adjusted by wearing lenses applied directly on the
cornea. The history of contact lenses evolved from William Fienbloom
who created, in 1939, the first contact lens from harsh plastic.
It was applied onto the eye with some kind of glue. In 1971,
soft contact lenses were invented and, in 1979, the permeable
contact lenses first appeared. It was in 1983 that detachable
contact lens revolutionized the market. They were invented by
a Danish producer who sold his copyrights to Johnson&Johnson.
The Company started selling contact lenses on a large scale
in 1987. They soon become very popular and remained so until
today.
Being a little familiar with the history of the contact lens
is not enough. The most important details refer to the situations
when it is advisable to wear contact lenses:
- To correct myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and astigmatism.
The most important advantage of contact lenses is that they
can correct anisometropy. A person is diagnosed with it when
the eyes do not have the same distance point refraction. Even
when there are differences over 3 dyoptrics between the eyes,
the correction cannot be done by wearing eyeglasses.
- For therapeutic purposes – as a substitute for bandage,
after a surgical intervention.
- For esthetic and cosmetic purposes.
There are a few steps that need to be followed when you decide
to go for contact lenses:
-First of all, the medical consultation takes about an hour
to complete. There are a few things that need to be taken into
consideration: the reasons you decided to wear contact lenses
instead of glasses and whether you can afford them or not.
-The next step is an exam that you’ll have to take, an exam
called “refractometry”. Contact lenses are prescribed together
with the spare eyeglasses. Another series of medical exams will
follow after this one.
-The distance and diameter of each contact lens has to be
carefully measured (Keratometry).
-The testing of the contact lens (which varies from 5 to
30 minutes) is necessary for the individual establishment of
the curvature and of the diameter of the contact lens.
-The last step is the periodical exam which varies depending
on the type of the contact lens.
Nowadays, we benefit from a large variety of contact lenses
so you should have no problems in choosing the right ones for
you. There are: -PMMA contact lenses – this type was the first
one and it was made in 1960. The contact lens is made from a
very durable plastic, polymethyl methacrylate. The disadvantage
consists in the fact that it doesn’t allow oxygen in the air
to reach the cornea. Instead, when you blink, the oxygen from
your tears reaches the cornea. This type of contact lens is
preferred for its durability and low cost.
-Gas-permeable lenses – RGPs – allow oxygen in the air to
go directly to the cornea. They are made of plastic in combination
with silicone and fluoropolymers.
- Soft contact lenses made of plastic that incorporate water
have as main attributes flexibility and softness and they allow
oxygen to reach the cornea.
-Among the most popular types of disposable lenses are the
Acuvue contact lenses. The acuvue contact lenses are designed
for people with little or no astigmatism and should be replaced
every two weeks. Some acuvue contact lenses are approved not
only for everyday use, but for overnight wear too. The advanced
version of the acuvue contact lenses is made of materials that
allow oxygen pass in even greater amounts than the other types
of contact lenses.
Depending on the number of times the contact lenses will
be worn, they can be divided into:
- Long term lenses that can be used for up to one year, but
not continuously and
- Short term lenses made only for a one time wear. They can
be useful for one day and one night, but afterwards they have
to be thrown away.
Nowadays, more and more people change their eyeglasses for
contact lenses because the latter are more comfortable and esthetical.
People can wear them in almost every situation: when practicing
sports, at work, in front of the computer, at the beach, when
swimming, etc. Not only do they make you healthier, but they
can give you the eye color you always wanted.
The
contact lens
is another proof of how far we’ve come: we have the power to
change our own eye color. If you want to find out more information
