Silicone Hydrogel: The Choice of Eye-CARE Professionals.
Almost all Eye-CARE Professionals agree that silicone hydrogel lenses provide better long-term eye health benefits, provide better wearing comfort than hydrogel lenses, and are the best material to safeguard patients' eye health. [1]
Continued Wear
Individuals wearing silicone hydrogel contact lenses were found to be less likely to have discontinued lens wear than those wearing hydrogel contact lenses. [2]
Reduces Chance of Hypoxia - lack of oxygen flow to the eye
Chronic hypoxia can result in complications including limbal hyperemia, corneal vascularization, epithelial microcysts, refractive error changes, corneal distortion, and endothelial changes [3]. Prescription of silicone hydrogel lenses has effectively eliminated hypoxic complications for most patients. [4]
Comfort
Significantly higher overall comfort and less dryness were reported with silicone hydrogel lenses than with hydrogel contact lenses. [5]
