Considering Bifocal Contacts

Monday, January 5th, 2009
by Dr. Eric Stamper, O.D.

First off, if you’re under the age of 40 you can stop reading now. BiFocals are not for you. starting at age 40, many require assistance in seeing things up close. Yes, that means you.

For everyone else who is wearing reading glasses, bifocals, or just plain struggling to read the newspaper (or this article for that matter), bifocal contact lenses are an exciting option with some new advances, but they definitely aren’t for everyone.

First let’s start off by qualifying a few details of the article. In the article, I am only talking about soft contact lenses. Next, when I refer to BiFocal contact lens fittings, this will only refer totrue bifocal contact lenses ( as seen on TV), this also shall refer to monovision ( one lens for distance and one lens for near), and every possible combination.

Here are a few things that would make you a good candidate for bifocal contact lenses, though keep in mind not a single one of these is an absolute requirement: a strong desire to not wear glasses, a willingness to accept vision that isn’t quite perfect in exchange for adequate vision at all distances, being closer to age 40 than to age 60, prior contact lens experience, long-time glasses use, and an understanding that reading glasses may still be needed from time to time for small print or poor lighting conditions.

Why you might not be a good candidate: having an eye that doesn’t see welleven with the best correction, need for Crystal clear vision, very dry eyes, high amounts of astigmatism, and intends the year of touching your eyes.

There are a couple of things every person should understand prior to trying on any type of bifocal contact lens. 1) Your vision cannot be as clear with bifocal contact lenses as it could be with bifocal glasses, and 2) every person experiences bifocal contact lenses differently and therefore it may take several fittings with vastly different lens combinations before finding the lenses that work best for you.

The reason those two points are true is because bifocal contact lenses do not work in the same way as bifocal glasses. With bifocal glasses both eyes look through the distance portion of the glasses to see far away and both eyes look through the near portion of the glasses to see up close. With glasses, both eyes are always perfectly focused for whatever distance they are viewing. This is not possible with soft contact lenses - you cannot look through just one part of the lens at a time. Therefore, with contact lenses part of your vision is ALWAYS focused at a distance and part of your vision is ALWAYS focused up close. When you are looking at a distance your brain learns to concentrate on the part of your vision that is focused at a distance and block out the part that is focused up close, and vice versa when you look up close. Because part of your vision is always focused at the wrong location bifocal contacts cannot be as perfect as bifocal glasses. And because it is the brain that interprets what we see through bifocal contacts, every person experiences bifocal contacts differently and therefore the same type of fitting does not work for all people.

In my opinion the biggest factor of whether someone will successfully be fit with bifocal contact lenses is the doctor who fits them. Bifocal contact lenses require a firm understanding of how the different lenses work, a doctor must know what changes to make based on each patient’s responses to the lenses, the doctor must him- or herself be very patient, and the doctor must set appropriate expectations through proper education. Fitting bifocal contact lenses properly is a challenge.,

Contact a local eye doctor for your specific requirements with bifocal contact lenses and to see if bifocal contact lenses are right for you.

What are the Most Popular Types of Designer Frames?

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
by Amy Nutt

Eyeglasses used to be a burden to people. They were not very stylish, they felt like they weighed a ton, and they were extremely large in size. Unfortunately, those individuals could do nothing about it because they needed the glasses to see. There were children trying to get out of wearing their glasses, but they would have to wear them while they did their studies. At the same time they were humiliated as the other kids called them “Four Eyes” and “Geek.”

Times are definitely not like that. Billions of people have to have their vision corrected. Usually, they correct their vision with eyeglasses first and will move to contact lenses later. Fortunately, though, more and more people are finding satisfaction with their eyeglasses. This is great for those who may not be able to wear contact lenses. The advent of designer frames has made wearing eyeglasses a lot more bearable.

Popular types of designer frames

There are many types of popular designer frames. They come in all different shapes and sizes. They also come in many different colours. It just more or less depends on your eye colour, your hair colour, and the shape of your face. But no matter what your physical features are, you?re going to find a designer frame that will take care of you.

Each manufacturer has their own unique style and it is that unique style that reels people in. One person may like Tommy Hilfiger, while the other person may like Calvin Klein because of the style.

The different types of designer frames out there include: Coach, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Dolce Gabanna, Oakley, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Chanel, Dior, and many more. These are the individuals that are responsible for the rectangle designs that offer up a little bit of flair. For those needing a more round frame, perhaps a frame by Coach will get the job done. You can usually distinguish the different brands by looking at them if you’re familiar with their styles.

The purchase

You have so many options when it comes to purchasing designer frames. You also have several buying options. You can always buy from your optometrist or a dispensary. Then again, you can purchase your desired designer frame on the Internet. This means you’re going to have a lot more to choose from. You’re not limited to the inventory of your optometrist or dispensary. Just make sure you are familiar with what frame shapes and colours look good on you. You definitely don’t want to get something that is going to look terrible.

Then there is the fact that your prescription is going to determine what looks good on you. Those who require extremely thick lenses may not do well with a rimless or half-rim frame. So that is something else to keep in mind.

Most importantly, having so many buying options allows you to compare your prices. You can find the best frame and the best deal for you. You do, however, need to make sure you’re able to have your prescription placed within the frame. It doesn’t do any good to have a designer frame if you cannot use it to see out of. There is also the fact that you may find so many great deals that you decide to buy several different frames. Maybe one day you’re in a certain mood and you choose your frame for that day. That’s a good way to mix it up because, let’s face it, designer glasses are now a fashion statement. They’re not a burden anymore. Perhaps that is why more and more people are making the decision to wear their eyeglasses over their contact lenses.

Contact Lens Cleaning Solutions: Everything You Need to Know

Thursday, December 11th, 2008
by Amy Nutt

Trying to choose a contact lens cleaning solution can be a little intimidating. If you take a look at the dozens of different types and hundreds of brand names available, it`s pretty confusing at first. Knowing just what each type of fluid is for will help you make your choices. Your optometrist can also provide useful information on selecting the right cleaning solution for your particular contact lenses.

The first thing you need to know about selecting a cleaning liquid is to choose one that is formulated for the type of contact lenses that you use. If you have soft lenses, be sure to buy only cleansers that are meant for soft contacts and vice versa for hard ones. By regularly cleaning your lenses, you`ll end up being able to use them longer and they will work better, without irritating your eyes.

Multi-Purpose Cleaners These are the easiest types of cleaners to use. You only need one solution to do all the tasks, soften the lens, remove deposits, cleanse and disinfect. The only thing you have to do once the lenses have soaked is rinse them in saline solution before putting them into your eyes. It`s very simple, but not always as effective as using multi-step procedures with a different solution for each process.

Multi-purpose cleaners can be used for most of the cleaning that you do, but if you want the occasional deep clean, then you might want to do a multi-step cleansing.

Saline Saline solution is pretty much the same as your tears, so this liquid is ideal for soaking contact lenses in when they aren`t in your eyes. The liquid keeps them supple and hydrated and won`t irritate your eyes later on. Saline is also useful for rinsing harsher chemicals off the lenses so you won`t end up with stinging eyes later on. Contact lenses do tend to dry out when left out of saline, so be sure to always have some on hand.

Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaners You are probably familiar with hydrogen peroxide from your medicine cabinet. It is also used in some types of contact lens cleaners to help eliminate grime and mineral deposits on the lenses. Hydrogen peroxide cleansers must be carefully stored and, while they do work very well for cleaning, the chemical can also cause intense discomfort in the eye, so be sure to rinse very well before using your contacts after cleaning them with a hydrogen based product.

Enzymatic Cleansers With any extended use contact lenses, protein from your eyes will begin to build up on them. This can cause problems if left, particularly diminished vision and later, possible scratches and infections in the eye, so it`s important to get rid of these deposits. Enzymes in enzymatic cleaners work to destroy any protein deposits and leave the lenses nice and clean. This type of cleaner is usually in tablet form and is not needed on a daily basis. Once a week or so, drop a tablet into the liquid that the contacts are soaking in and leave overnight to get rid of everything. In the morning, the lenses will be ready to be used again after rinsing.

Since contact lenses are in contact with your eyes most of the time you are awake, it`s vital that they be maintained in a clean, sterile manner. Improperly cleaned lenses are the cause of many eye infections and these can range from a minor inconvenience to actually causing blindness. As you can see, it`s certainly worth maintaining a careful cleaning schedule and using the proper contact lens solutions for the job.
