If someone has ever told you that contact lenses weren't suitable for you, it's time to reconsider. Recent years have witnessed remarkable advancements in contact lens technology, particularly with the introduction of silicone hydrogels available at Excellence Eye Care. These lenses boast exceptional oxygen permeability, providing unparalleled comfort and opening doors for individuals with diverse eye conditions.

The Evolution of Contact Lenses: Silicone Hydrogels Take the Lead

Silicone hydrogel contact lenses are a revolutionary development in vision correction. A unique material in these lenses enables a higher oxygen level to reach the cornea, the transparent layer at the front of the eye. This increased oxygen flow enhances comfort and addresses issues faced by people once deemed unsuitable candidates for contact lenses. With silicone hydrogel lenses, people can enjoy clearer vision without the discomfort and irritation that can come with traditional lenses.

Silicone hydrogels, however, offer a welcome solution. These lenses provide the visual clarity needed for activities like reading while maintaining the comfort necessary for extended wear. Experience the best of both worlds with presbyopia-correcting silicone hydrogel contacts.

Keratoconus: A New Hope in Vision Correction

Individuals with keratoconus are often last in line for contact lenses due to their cornea's thinning, a characteristic of this condition. Scleral contact lenses, a type of gas-permeable contact lens, are designed to cover the entire corneal surface and rest on the sclera. This transforms an irregular cornea into a smooth optical surface and helps correct vision issues for keratoconus patients.
