			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Among the many kinds of contact lenses you can buy are: novelty, colored, crazy, Halloween, special effects, theatrical, costume, scary, glow in the dark, wild eyes, mirrored, black, white, and red. Contact lens wearers are usually surprised and happy with the level of comfort that lenses provide. Now it&#8217;s easy to order the perfect quality contact lenses online at a great discount.</p>
<p>The choice of which lens is right for you should be based only on an examination by your doctor or eye care professional, not over the phone. If you&#8217;ve always wanted to change your eye color, color contact lenses can provide baby blues, gorgeous greens, heavenly hazels &#8212; even various patterns and designs.</p>
<p><span id="more-24108"></span></p>
<p>Extended wear contact lenses are used for overnight or continuous wear ranging from one to six nights or up to 30 days. There are also a few rigid gas permeable lenses that are designed and approved for overnight wear. The length of continuous lens wear depends on the lens type and your doctor&#8217;s evaluation of your tolerance for overnight wear.</p>
<p>Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear to be. If you plan to wear lenses for more than 18 hours for the purpose of eye color change, then buy colored soft lenses. People who have good distance vision but need help for reading can get a monovision reading lens for one eye.</p>
<p>Soft contact lenses are made of soft, flexible plastics that allow for oxygen to pass through to the cornea. There are several types of lenses including: soft contact lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, extended wear lenses and disposables. Although easier to handle and less likely to tear, rigid gas permeable lenses are not as comfortable initially as soft contacts and it may take a few weeks to get used to wearing the RGPs, compared to just a few days for soft contacts.</p>
<p>Rigid gas permeable lenses tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens since they last longer than soft lenses. Extra-thin soft lenses are on the market for very sensitive people.</p>
<p>Make sure you have a current, valid prescription when you order contact lenses. Always buy from a reputable company; you can buy contact lenses without a prescription, but the company is selling you a prescription device as if it were an over-the-counter device violating FTC regulations by selling you contact lenses without having your prescription. When you receive your order, if you think you&#8217;ve received an incorrect contact lens, check with your doctor or eye care professional right away; don&#8217;t accept any substitution unless your eye care professional approves it.</p>
<p>When you place your order make sure your lenses are available and not out of stock, because you&#8217;ll need them now. Check to see if you have a health insurance plan that includes vision coverage. You can buy contact lenses from an eye doctor, on the Internet, from an optical store or a warehouse club.</p>
<p>Always ask what rebates are available. Rebates may be available from the seller, from the manufacturer, for first-time contact lens wearers and for individuals who buy lenses and get an eye exam. Get a feel for how the retailer handles customer service calls; in case you have a problem after your order arrives.</p>
<p>Microorganisms may be present in distilled water, so always use commercial sterile saline solutions, if you plan to use enzyme tablets in water for disinfections. Under the binding down of a rigid contact lens during sleep, the flow of tears and oxygen to the cornea is reduced; lack of oxygen leaves the eye vulnerable to infection. Extended-wear rigid lenses can cause unexpected, undesirable, reshaping of the cornea.</p>
<p>To be sure your eyes remain healthy you shouldn&#8217;t order lenses with a prescription that&#8217;s expired or stock up on lenses right before the prescription is about to expire; it&#8217;s much safer to be re-checked by your eye doctor. Be aware that extended-wear (overnight) contact lenses &#8211; rigid or soft &#8211; increase the risk of corneal ulcers, which are infection-caused eruptions on the cornea that can lead to blindness; symptoms include vision changes, eye redness, eye discomfort or pain, and excessive tearing. Always throw away disposable lenses after the recommended wearing period.</p>
<p>Make sure you&#8217;ve done your homework before you buy any pair of contact lenses. Remember to use only contact lenses that are FDA-approved and only if prescribed by a licensed eyecare professional. It&#8217;s becoming easier and easier all the time to shop online and often the shipping is free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the world of contact lenses, there are many manufacturers for you to choose from.  Contact lenses are very popular these days, being a great alternative to glasses.  Contacts are easy to take care of, easy to use, and very affordable.  As more and more people find out they have bad vision and need to get glasses or contacts &#8211; they turn to contacts.</p>
<p>With several different brands of contacts out there, it can be very difficult when you select your pair.  Often times, your optician will recommend a brand to you, although sometimes they wonâ€™t.  Different brands are coming out all the time, which can make it very difficult for first time contact users to select the best brand for their eyes and their needs.<span id="more-980"></span></p>
<p>Among the many different brands and manufacturers on the market for contact lenses, Acuvue tends be among the best.  They have dominated the market for years and years, proving that they produce some of the best contact lenses.  With the inception of Hydraclear, Acuvue has proved that contact lenses can be very comfortable for anyone who chooses to wear them.  Hydroclear is a breakthrough technology for contact lenses, helping Acuvue gain more popularity.</p>
<p>If you are new to contact lenses, you may want to look at what each manufacturer offers before you make a decision.  By learning a bit about each manufacturer, you can decide which ones offer you the best products for the best prices.  You can research online, through your local store that sells contacts, or even ask your optician and associates what they think would be the best for you.</p>
<p>A few examples of some of the best manufacturers include Acuvue, Bausch and Lomb, and Progressive.  These are all great choices, offering you a variety models to choose from.  They are also among the most expensive as well.  Bausch and Lomb is just about as popular as Acuvue, offering great contact lenses at very affordable prices.</p>
<p>No matter which brand or manufacturer you decide to buy, you should always try on the contacts and see how they fit your eyes.  Brands and manufacturers will vary, which is why you should always try on the pair you are interested in.  Just because a pair of contacts may work for your family or a friend, doesnâ€™t necessarily mean that they will work for you.</p>
<p>Anytime you are looking to buy contacts you should always experiment with the different manufacturers and see which brand you like the best.  You should always look for comfort and how well they work with your eyes.  If you choose a brand that is very comfortable, you shouldnâ€™t have any problems with your eyes drying out.  If you try a pair out and it doesnâ€™t work that well or you &#8211; you can always choose another.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter what type of contacts you have, youâ€™ll need to clean them on a regular basis.  Normally, you should clean them at night when you take them out.  If you have night and day contact lenses, youâ€™ll need to take them out on a regular basis and clean them.  There are a few products you can use to clean your contacts, which we will look at below.<span id="more-978"></span></p>
<p>1.  Saline<br />
Saline is a common product for rinsing contacts, most used for storing and rinsing your lenses.  When you take your contacts out at night, youâ€™ll normally put them in saline solution.  Even though it is perfect for storing and rinsing your contacts, it should never be used to clean or disinfect them.</p>
<p>2.  Daily cleaner solution<br />
Daily cleaner is used to clean your contacts.  Simply place a few drops of the cleaner in the center of your hand and then rub the lens gently in the solution.  You should rub the contact around for about 30 seconds, ensuring that you clean both sides.  When you need to rinse and disinfect them, simply use other products that are designed for that purpose.</p>
<p>3.  Multipurpose solution<br />
This is about the best type of solution you can get for your contacts, as it cleans, rinses, disinfects, and stores your lenses.  You can do everything with this type of solution, including soaking your lenses at night.  Once you have finished cleaning your contacts, simply rinse them with this same solution and they will be ready to wear.  With multipurpose solution, you wonâ€™t need any other products.</p>
<p>4.  Hydrogen peroxide<br />
Hydrogen peroxide is a solution that cleans, disinfects, stores, and rinses your contacts.  You donâ€™t need to rub your contacts in the solution, simply allow them a few minutes to soak.  Hydrogen peroxide is a no rub solution, and contains chemicals that doesnâ€™t burn your eyes.  Before you put the contact lenses into your eyes, you should always rinse them with another produce first.</p>
<p>5.  Cleaning and disinfecting<br />
As the names imply, this is for both disinfecting and cleaning your contacts.  Cleaning is normally achieved by either ultrasonic waves or agitation, where the disinfecting is done by multipurpose solution or UV light.  The instructions for the brand you selected will be on the bottle, and you should always follow them to avoid damage to your eyes or your contacts.</p>
<p>6.  Enzymatic cleaners<br />
These types of cleaners are ideal for removing protein on your contacts, normally on a weekly basis.  They come in the form of tablets, which you can use with either disinfecting or saline solution to clean the protein from your contacts.</p>
<p>7.  Protein removers<br />
These products come in the form of liquid, and remove the protein from your contact lenses on a daily basis.  They can be used with multipurpose solution as well, as they will get all of the protein buildup off your contacts.  To use daily protein remover products, simply add your normal solution to your case, then add a drop or two of the remover to your solution and put your contacts in.</p>
<p>8.  Eye drops<br />
Eye drops are a common commodity with contact lenses.  They lubricate your eyes, re-wet your contact lenses, and help to give you relief from dryness.  When you choose your eye drops, make sure you select a brand that is safe to use.  This way, you wonâ€™t experience any problems when you start using the drops.</p>
<p>There are other materials you can use with your contacts, although the above are the most common and the most popular.  You can find these products in your local department store, at great prices as well.  If you wear contacts &#8211; you should never be without your cleaning supplies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swapping or switching from glasses to contact lenses is easier than you may think.  Contact lenses are the preferred alternative to vision correction these days, offering you the vision enhancement you need at a price you can afford.  There are a lot of things youâ€™ll to need to know about your contacts, although they are far superior to the traditional correction of glasses.</p>
<p>The first thing youâ€™ll need to do when getting contact lenses is to visit your optician and be fitted for the lenses.  Your optician will give you a prescription for your contacts, examine the health of your eyes, and tell you which type of contacts will work the best for you.  He or she can also tell you which contacts are best for your budget as well.<span id="more-976"></span></p>
<p>These days, there are several contact lenses to choose from.  You have many different manufacturers as well, offering many different types, colors, and styles.  Not all are suitable for you though, as no 2 eyes are the same.  When you get fitted for your contact lenses, your optician will be able to help you make that decision.</p>
<p>When you first start wearing your contacts, you should never wear them for extended periods of time.  Contacts will need some time to adjust to your eyes, and your eyes will need some time to rest.  If you wear them too long when you start wearing them, they can harm your eyes.  Your optician will tell you what he recommends, which is normally a few hours during the day then take them out.  With each passing day, you can wear them for longer periods until your eyes gradually adjust.</p>
<p>Another aspect that will take some getting used to, that you donâ€™t face with glasses, is knowing how to handle your contact lenses.  Youâ€™ll need to make sure that your hands are clean before you handle your contacts, to avoid scratching or damaging the lenses.  When you take your contacts out or put them in your eyes, youâ€™ll need to handle them &#8211; which requires your hands to be clean.</p>
<p>Something you may experience with your new contacts is dry eyes.  Dryness in the eyes when wearing contacts is very common, and should be expected.  When wearing glasses, this is one problem you wonâ€™t have.  If your eyes start to dry out when wearing your contacts, you should put a few drops of re-wetting or saline solution in your eyes.  These drops will help to moisten your eyes and give you some relief from the irritation that dryness causes.</p>
<p>Although glasses need to be cleaned frequently, contact lenses need to be cleaned and disinfected on a daily basis.  Protein will build up on the surface of the contacts, requiring them to be cleaned with a disinfecting or multi-purpose solution.  The easiest way to do this is to soak your contacts in the solution when you go to sleep at night.  This way, you can wake up in the morning and your contact lenses will be ready to wear.</p>
<p>All in all, contact lenses are preferred over glasses.  Youâ€™ll need to change them out though, normally every couple of weeks.  Changing them out with a fresh pair will make your eyes feel refreshed, and keep you from getting infections.  Contact lenses are great for virtually anyone, and they can give you a full range of sight.  They wonâ€™t hang off your face like glasses &#8211; yet they will give the freedom in knowing that you can do virtually any activity you choose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some people out there who wonder why people spend money on expensive contact lenses or expensive glasses.  If youâ€™ve never worn glasses or contacts, then chances are that you have really good vision.  On the other hand, those that donâ€™t have really good vision will need to get either contact lenses or glasses in order to have near perfect vision.</p>
<p>Contact lenses, in most cases, will drastically improve your vision without having to get glasses, which is reason enough to invest in a pair of contacts.  They are very lightweight, and they offer you a full range of sight and mobility.  Unlike wearing glasses, contacts donâ€™t hang on your face &#8211; when you wear them others wonâ€™t able to tell.  If you wear glasses, you may want to look into getting a pair of contact lenses.<span id="more-974"></span></p>
<p>You can buy contact lenses in several different ways.  You can order them online, which is what most people tend to do.  Companies such as contacts.com offer hundreds of contacts and prescriptions, which they deliver right to your door.  When you order online you can get a great price, and then have the contacts brought right to you &#8211; with no travel or waiting in line required to get your contact lenses when you need them.</p>
<p>You can also purchase your contacts at your opticians office as well.  Buying this way is a great decision if you donâ€™t have access to the Internet.  You can also purchase at a local store that sells contacts and glasses, such as Wal-Mart.  The prices are great here as well, as they offer a variety of different contacts for those who need them.  You can also buy solution here as well, making it well worth the trip to get your contact lenses.</p>
<p>If you shop around, you can normally find some great deals for your lenses.  Depending on the brand and type your optician prescribed, the prices will vary.  If you are buying the latest and greatest brands of contacts, you can obviously count on the price to be a bit higher.  This is to be expected, as contacts cost the most when they first come out and are available for purchase.</p>
<p>Several people who need contacts will want them, although they think bad things and normally donâ€™t end up purchasing them &#8211; choosing to go with glasses instead.  Contrary to what many think, contacts donâ€™t get stuck behind your eyes, nor do they damage your eyes when you wear them.  If this was indeed the case, contacts wouldnâ€™t be legal to sell &#8211; or recommended by top opticians.</p>
<p>In order to buy contacts, youâ€™ll need a prescription.  When you go to an optician for the fitting process, he will examine your eyes and let you know if you can wear contacts.  There are a few types, such as soft and hard.  Depending on your eyes, you may have to get a special type of contact lens.  The optician will give you his recommendation, and tell you everything you need to know and do for the contacts that he will give you a prescription for.</p>
<p>If your vision is bad, or if you just want to ditch the glasses, you should look into a pair of contact lenses.  They are very affordable, easy to take care of, and easy to use.  You can wear them during the day, then take them out at night &#8211; or get a pair that you can wear night and day.  They wonâ€™t stick out like glasses, as it is very hard to tell if someone is wearing contacts.  With many ways to buy them &#8211; contact lenses are the best option for those with not so great vision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are new to contact lenses, there are 2 things that you will need to overcome &#8211; putting your contacts in and taking them out.  Even though you may have got in some practice with your doctor during your fitting exam, youâ€™ll find things to be totally different once you step in front of your mirror at home and try to do it by yourself.</p>
<p>The first thing youâ€™ll notice is that it can be tricky to put your contacts in.  If you are putting them in for the first time, it can be a little tricky getting them in your eye.  With a few days or a few weeks to practice, youâ€™ll be more than comfortable with your lenses.  Always keep in mind that no one is perfect, it takes all of us time to get good at it.  Below, are a few tips that will help you with inserting and removing your contacts.<span id="more-42057"></span></p>
<p>Putting your contacts in<br />
Before you put your hands on your contacts, you should make sure that you clean your hands thoroughly, and that you dry them off.  Once your hands are clean, sit the contact lens on your index finger.  Next, place a drop of solution in the center of the lens.  Now, use your other hand and pull down your lower eye lid with your thumb then look up with the eye you will be inserting the contact lens into.</p>
<p>Take your index finger with the contact on it and place it into your eye.  Donâ€™t close your eye immediately, rather leave it open a few seconds to let the contact settle.  After a few seconds, close your eye and your contact should be perfectly in place.  If it feels uncomfortable, take it out and try again.  It may take you a few tries, although the more you put them in the better youâ€™ll get at it.</p>
<p>Taking your contacts out<br />
Same as before, you want to make sure that your hands are clean and dry.  When you are ready to take them out, look up with your eye then use your fingers to grab the contact by the sides and pull it out.  You can normally get it out on the first try, with a little practice.  Once the contact is out, blink a few times to clear your eyes.  If it doesnâ€™t want to come out, put some drops in your eye to moisten it up, then try again.</p>
<p>Contact lenses are a great innovation to vision correction, and they are easier to use than most people may think.  Once you have worn contacts for a few days or a few weeks, youâ€™ll find that it becomes second nature to put them in and take them out.  Once you have got the hang of it, youâ€™ll be able to put them in and remove them in a matter of seconds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eyes are the most precious part of our body and we have to protect it by every possible means. Everyone does it; they take every possible step to protect their eyes. Protection of eyes involves mainly two things, the glass spectacles and the contact lenses. Both of these eye protection tools are used in large extent all over the world. Both have several advantages over the other; in some cases glass specs are better than the contact lenses and in some cases, the lenses are better than the eye glasses. But, both are equally important to one&#8217;s eyes. They protect the human eyes from several problems, diseases, dirt etc. However, it has been observed recently that the use of contact lenses is far more than that of the eye glasses. Let us discuss here about the advantages of these eye protection tools over the other.</p>
<p>Lenses and glass specs, both are available in the market in plenty; many well known companies provide these materials of varying range and at varying cost. This cost does not create the difference between them; rather the use of these two items creates the difference. Firstly, eye glasses are very easy to wear and remove; people do not need to give any extra effort or concentration for that; whereas, inserting and removing a contact lens needs some extra attention and care. Few days of practise is needed to get acquainted with the use of a contact lens. Secondly, a contact lens needs to be cleaned and disinfected regularly using the solution provided with the contact lens.<span id="more-3251"></span> It cannot be cleaned with normal tap water or any other solution or even without any liquid. In comparison to this, the glass spectacles can be cleaned anywhere using just a clean piece of cloth. And a spec user may not even clean the glass spec regularly. Thirdly, a contact lens is very comfortable for the human eyes; it is so light and soft that people cannot even feel it after inserting it in the eyes. Kids can run around and play wearing a contact lens, there is no chance of any type of accidents; whereas wearing a glass spectacle throughout the day is often very uncomfortable and irritating. People who have to give physical labour at their work sites and kids often find it very uncomfortable to do their respective activities wearing a contact lens. Kids may even face serious problems if the glass spec gets broken while playing, it can damage their eyes. Moreover, a contact lens can be used by people of any age, which cannot be done if one uses glass specs.</p>
<p>Besides these, contact lenses are far more fashionable than the shabby glass specs. Nowadays, most teenagers hate to wear glass spectacle as it makes their image dull in front of others; whereas the contact lenses enhances a person&#8217;s appearance and personality. There are several more advantages and disadvantages of the contact lenses and the glass specs; but both of them are extremely essential for protection of the eyes.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contact lenses always need careful cleaning and storing. If the wearer has poor health habits, a serious infection named Acanthamoeba may be aroused, which is very difficult to treat. To prevent this bothering infection, contact lenses wearers must follow the codes required by doctors and manufacturers.</p>
<p>First found in 1973, Acanthamoeba has been mostly related to contact lenses, with a 90 percentage. Acanthamoeba Keratitis that infecting the eyes come from the natural occurring amoeba. These tiny and single-cell animals mostly appear in tap water, well water as well as sewage systems. Fortunately, Acanthamoeba Keratitis occur an average of two times among one million wearers. Exception also exists ever found by the US centers for Diseases Control and other researchers. In 2007, the contact lenses solution named Complete MoisturePlus aroused a wide spread worrying about infection. The CDC reported that this product had a seven times risk of conventional products.<span id="more-675"></span></p>
<p>Good lenses hygiene is the most effective way in avoiding Acanthamoeba Keratitis. And Acanthamoeba can be killed by rubbing off the lens surface.  But there are may unhealthy factors that may cause this infection, such as using polluted tap or well water and homemade products to clean lenses, showering or swimming without removing your contact lenses, as well as dirty cases. Nowadays, some manufacturers pay less attention to the contact lenses cleaning upon removal, which also brings more Keratitis cases.</p>
<p>It is difficult to diagnose Acanthamoeba Keratitis, even if they have obvious symptoms such as red eyes, eye pain, tearing, blurred vision etcâ€¦ These signs are common and may be caused by other <a href="http://vision.firmoo.com/eye-diseases" target="_blank">eye diseases</a>. The way to diagnose Acanthamoeba Keratitis is using antibiotics, which may cause different reactions from Keratitis. Another ensured sign of Acanthamoeba Keratitis is ulceration on the corneal tissue. Corneal transplant surgery is the widely used solution to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss by Acanthamoeba Keratitis.</p>
<p>Acanthamoeba Keratitis and eye infections can be significantly minimized if the wearer uses them properly. Some tips are easy, such as washing hands frequently, following doctorsâ€™ instructions, using recommended products rather than wetting or saline solutions, and regular lenses cleaning. They should never use tap water for cleaning. If customers like wearing lenses while swimming, airtight swim goggles is a necessity.</p>
<p>Your lenses cases also need equal care with lenses themselves. The first factor evolves cases cleaning. You can simply clean them using hot water or carefully brush them using disinfecting products, then let them air dry. Sometimes, a complete sterilization weekly is needed using hot boiling water or a microwave oven. Contact lenses should be replaced within every three months even with most frequent cleaning.</p>
<p>For Acanthamoeba Keratitis, prevention and early detection are critical.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a contact lens prescription in hand, it&#8217;s possible to buy your contact lenses from stores, the Internet, over the phone, or by mail. Ophthalmologists (M.D. or D.O.) are eye surgeons who study and treat eye diseases and can also perform the duties of optometrists; optometrists (O.D.) examine eyes, diagnose and treat vision problems, and prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses and in most states they also can prescribe medicine; opticians grind and dispense eyeglasses and in some states dispense contact lenses. There are 75 million contact lens wearers worldwide and 31 million in the U.S. alone.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s easy to order the perfect contact lenses online at a great discount. Among the many kinds of contact lenses you can buy are: novelty, colored, crazy, Halloween, special effects, theatrical, costume, scary, glow in the dark, wild eyes, mirrored, black, white, and red.</p>
<p><span id="more-28188"></span></p>
<p>Keep in mind that contact lenses are often more complex than appears. Rigid lenses don&#8217;t absorb chemicals, unlike soft lenses which will soak up residue from your hands like soap or lotion. Some doctors prescribe disposables as planned-replacement lenses, which are removed, disinfected, and reused before being discarded.</p>
<p>Disposable lenses don&#8217;t come with instructions for cleaning and disinfecting, while those labeled specifically for planned replacement do. The length of continuous lens wear depends on the lens type and your doctor&#8217;s evaluation of your tolerance for overnight wear. Soft lenses also come as disposable products, that is, used once and discarded, or as planned-replacement lenses.</p>
<p>In some models, each lens corrects for near and distance vision and in others, one lens is for near vision, and the other is for distance. Extra-thin soft lenses are on the market for very sensitive people. There are several types of lenses including: soft contact lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, extended wear lenses and disposables.</p>
<p>With planned-replacement lenses, the doctor works out a replacement schedule tailored to the needs of each patient. While the ability to hold water increases the oxygen permeability of soft lenses, it increases their fragility quotient as well.</p>
<p>When you place your order make sure your lenses are available and not out of stock, because you&#8217;ll need them now. Ask about prices at your doctor&#8217;s office when you have your eye examination, or during a follow-up visit after you get your prescription. Focus on value, not just the price; most people looking for the best price are really looking for the best value.</p>
<p>Always ask what rebates are available. Always buy from a reputable company; you can buy contact lenses without a prescription, but the company is selling you a prescription device as if it were an over-the-counter device violating FTC regulations by selling you contact lenses without having your prescription. When you place your contact lens order, request the manufacturer&#8217;s written patient information for your contact lenses; it&#8217;ll give you important risk and benefit information as well as instructions for use.</p>
<p>When you receive your order, if you think you&#8217;ve received an incorrect contact lens, check with your doctor or eye care professional right away; don&#8217;t accept any substitution unless your eye care professional approves it. Wherever you buy, shop for quality and value and don&#8217;t forget you want to do what&#8217;s best for your eye health. Make sure you have a current, valid prescription when you order contact lenses.</p>
<p>Soft extended-wear lenses bind down on the closed eye, but they are porous and allow some tears through during sleep; because they have so little form, their binding has very little effect on the shape of the eye. Extended-wear rigid lenses can cause unexpected, undesirable, reshaping of the cornea. Under the binding down of a rigid contact lens during sleep, the flow of tears and oxygen to the cornea is reduced; lack of oxygen leaves the eye vulnerable to infection.</p>
<p>The FDA has approved extended-wear lenses for use up to seven days before removal for cleaning; but there are risks with use of extended-wear lenses even for one night. Heat disinfection is the only method effective against the microroganism Acanthamoeba keratitis, a common culprit for contact lens wearers, and it also kills organisms in and on the lens case. When the eyes are open, tears carry adequate oxygen to the cornea to keep it healthy, but during sleep, the eye produces fewer tears, causing the cornea to swell.</p>
<p>Remember to use only contact lenses that are FDA-approved and only if prescribed by a licensed eye care professional. If you lead an active lifestyle, contact lenses can provide you with close to natural vision. Shopping for contacts online will save you a lot of money; contact lenses are deeply discounted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Always buy from a reputable company; you can buy discount contact lenses without a prescription, but the company is selling you a prescription device as if it were an over-the-counter device, in violation of FTC regulations &#8211; selling you lenses without having a prescription from you. Contact lens wearers are usually surprised and happy with the level of comfort that lenses provide. If you&#8217;ve always wanted to change your eye color, color contact lenses can provide baby blues, gorgeous greens, heavenly hazels &#8212; even various patterns and designs.</p>
<p>Among the many kinds of contact lenses you can buy are: novelty, colored, crazy, Halloween, special effects, theatrical, costume, scary, glow in the dark, wild eyes, mirrored, black, white, and red. Before you buy contact lenses from anyone other than your eye care professional, it pays to be a wise consumer.</p>
<p><span id="more-25466"></span></p>
<p>Rigid gas permeable lenses tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens since they last longer than soft lenses. There are differences in the water content and shape of the lens between different brands. People who have good distance vision but need help for reading can get a monovision reading lens for one eye.</p>
<p>The length of continuous lens wear depends on the lens type and your doctor&#8217;s evaluation of your tolerance for overnight wear. Keep in mind contact lenses are often more complex than it appears. The expiration date for your prescription is currently set by your state requiring a one-year or two-year renewal; if your state hasn&#8217;t set a minimum expiration date, government regulation sets a one-year date unless your eye doctor determines there&#8217;s a medical reason for less than one year.</p>
<p>With planned-replacement lenses, the doctor works out a replacement schedule tailored to the needs of each patient. There are also a few rigid gas permeable lenses that are designed and approved for overnight wear. Soft lenses also come as disposable products, that is, used once and discarded, or as planned-replacement lenses.</p>
<p>You can become adjusted to soft lenses within just a few days, compared to several weeks for rigid ones. Extra-thin soft lenses are on the market for very sensitive people.</p>
<p>When you place your contact lens order, request the manufacturer&#8217;s written patient information for your contact lenses; it&#8217;ll give you important risk and benefit information as well as instructions for use. Ask about prices at your doctor&#8217;s office when you have your eye examination, or during a follow-up visit after you get your prescription. Check out how long the online supplier has been in business before you buy.</p>
<p>Before you buy online, check to see if there are any testimonials at the online supplier&#8217;s website. Get a feel for how the retailer handles customer service calls; in case you have a problem after your order arrives. Beware of attempts to substitute a brand different from the one you want when buying contacts.</p>
<p>When you receive your order, if you think you&#8217;ve received an incorrect contact lens, check with your doctor or eye care professional right away; don&#8217;t accept any substitution unless your eye care professional approves it. Wherever you buy, shop for quality and value and don&#8217;t forget you want to do what&#8217;s best for your eye health. There are many good contact lens retailers now on the Internet making their lenses available at a good discount for prescription and non-prescription lenses.</p>
<p>To be sure your eyes remain healthy you shouldn&#8217;t order lenses with a prescription that&#8217;s expired or stock up on lenses right before the prescription is about to expire; it&#8217;s much safer to be re-checked by your eye doctor. Heat disinfection is the only method effective against the microorganism Acanthamoeba keratitis, a common culprit for contact lens wearers, and it also kills organisms in and on the lens case. Daily-wear lenses are removed daily for cleaning and are a safer choice, provided they aren&#8217;t worn during sleep.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wear lenses any longer than they&#8217;re prescribed for, nor when sleeping unless you are otherwise directed. Basic rule: never swap your contact lenses with anyone else. When the eyes are open, tears carry adequate oxygen to the cornea to keep it healthy, but during sleep, the eye produces fewer tears, causing the cornea to swell.</p>
<p>Make sure you&#8217;ve done your homework before you buy any pair of contact lenses. It&#8217;s becoming easier and easier all the time to shop online and often the shipping is free. Laser surgery and its risks can be frightening and too expensive for some people; contacts can provide a safe, comfortable and time-tested alternative.</p>
