Contacts & Designer Eyewear CollectionsMany changes have recently taken place in the contact lens industry. The biggest advance is the introduction of silicone plastics. Even though silicone materials have been around for some time, they didn't work well for contacts because of the stiffness of the plastic and surface dryness leading to discomfort. The big advantage of silicone materials is that they allow a great deal of oxygen to flow through them. Just recently, lens manufacturers have figured out ways to make them more wettable, hence comfortable. The new Oasys™ lens from Acuvue maker Vistakon / Johnson & Johnson may be the best of the new wave of silicone soft contact lenses. Family EyeCare Center is involved with the Oasys lens early product launch, and we are thrilled with the lens performance. Smooth and soft, many patients can hardly feel it when it's on! See your world in High Definition!The new PureVision™ contact lens by Bausch & Lomb allows so much oxygen to pass through to the eye that the FDA has approved it for up to 30 days of continuous use. PureVision is now also available as a toric lens for astigmatism!
