Focus Contact Lenses Provides the Best of Both Worlds Soft and Disposable Contact Lenses

Gas permeable lenses, while providing slightly more when it comes to vision correction, can be an annoyance. They tend to be more uncomfortable and more expensive than soft contacts. Also, since they do not come in a disposable version like soft contacts, they can build up calcium deposits which could cause harm to the cornea of the eye. Fortunately, with Focus contact lenses, a soft contact lens line made by the company Ciba, a person no longer has any reason for having to deal with the problems of gas permeable lenses.

The Focus Dailies, a brand of corrective contact lenses, that are designed to be disposed of at the end of the day. They are designed with Ciba’s trademarked AquaRelease technology. AquaRelease is a moisturizing agent that covers the lens each time a person blinks their eyes. It acts as tear fluid, moisturizing both the eye and the contact lens and preventing dryness from occurring so quickly. Focus Dailies also have a blue tint that helps assist with lens insertion. The tint does not affect eye coloring, as it is too light to do so. Secondary brands of Focus Dailies, known as Focus Dailies Progressives, do not require any cleaning. There is also a brand of Focus Dailies that are specially designed to correct astigmatism. These are known as Focus Dailies Toric.

Next, there is Focus Night and Day, a brand of corrective contact lenses that can be worn throughout the day and night for 30 days. According to Cibavision.com, the official website of Ciba, Focus Night and Day contacts are actually the first to have been approved by the FDA for 24-hour wear. The lenses also do not have to be cleaned. Indeed, with Focus Night and Day contacts, one has the feeling that they are not even wearing contacts.

To order a pair of Focus contact lenses, a person will have to first get a current prescription from their optometrist, since Ciba’s website only accepts orders from licensed eye care professionals. This may seem like an inconvenience on the surface, but nowadays there are eye places designed to be quick yet efficient. Examples include Lenscrafters and Houreyes. There are also places in department stores such as Walmart or Sears that offer optical services.

Regardless, just make sure the optometrist is licensed and reputable. Once they issue a prescription, a person can buy from them directly or go online. Buying a pair of Focus contact lenses from an online store might be a slightly more expensive option because there are shipping costs involved.

However, some sites will offer free shipping if one orders a certain amount. Other sites try to balance out the fee by offering discounts that are not available at an optometrist’s clinic.
