One-day
Lens Wear
Today, even with the advent of silicone hydrogel lenses, one-day disposable
lenses remain the safest and most convenient lens modality available. In
addition to regular daily wear use, I find daily lens wear can be a supplemental
option for several other types of patients:
1. Monovision patients requiring or desiring part time full distance correction
2. Frequent travelers, even GP lens wearers, who want to eliminate leaky
solution bottles and cases in baggage
3. Under or overcorrected post-LASIK patients awaiting enhancements
4. LASIK candidates de-adapting to GP lens wear
5. Dry eye patients and those with seasonal allergies
6. Part time use for sports and other hobbies that are glasses prohibitive
7. Hikers, campers and those spending time outdoors away from an adequate clean
water supply.
Even if one-day lenses are not the primary source of correction, they still
serve as a great complement to any lens modality. --Michael S. Heidish, O.D.

ADVANCE™for ASTIGMATISM – Built for Speed, Designed for Vision
& Comfort
The new Accelerated Stabilization Design of ACUVUE® ADVANCE™
Brand Contact Lenses for ASTIGMATISM makes the fitting process
for astigmatic patients easier by reducing chair time. Because ACUVUE®
ADVANCE™for ASTIGMATISM was designed specifically to use
the force of the blink to stabilize the lens, doctors can go from zero to
fitting in 60 seconds. Once the lens is in place, every blink is a smooth
interaction with the lens that maintains continuous stability throughout the
day. This enhanced stabilization is the key to crisp, stable vision throughout
daily activities.
ACUVUE® ADVANCE™for ASTIGMATISM also features
HYDRACLEAR™, which allows for a moist, smooth, and soft fitting
silicone hydrogel lens that feels good all day long. http://www.ecp.acuvue.com --ADVERTISINGReport adverse contact lens reactions here:
