You are now home from our offices; no doubt excited about your new contact lenses. You did great while you were here, now it's your turn. If you are staring at yourself in the mirror, trying to put that flimsy little piece of plastic on your eye, don't despair, you are not alone.
Remember, learning to put lenses on can be a frustrating experience for many. The good news is that It really is easy! (once you get the hang of it)
This may sound crazy right now, however after a week or so of wearing and handling your contacts you will see that putting them on is just as simple and usually quicker than putting on a pair of socks.
- Always work over a clean surface. You do not want the lens to get lost or contaminated if it accidentally drops.
- Wash your hands thoroughly. Liquid soap is the most effective because it contains fewer oils. You want to avoid certain soaps with extra perfume or moisturizers (like aloe). Extra moisturizes can coat up on your lens over time. We recommend products such as Clear Ivory, Ocusoft and Optimum soaps.
- Dry your hands with a lint-free towel.
- Have a mirror, if you need a good mirror, you will find a wide selection here.
- Relax, it is ok to take a break if you find yourself getting frustrated. It can be stressful, learning to put on lenses, however, once you get the hang of it, handling lenses becomes extremely easy. So relax and have fun with it.
Presbyopia is an entirely natural and normal phenomenon. While Presbyopia won't go away, our eyes won't learn to accommodate again, there are many simple and effective ways to deal with it. In the past, reading glasses or bifocals took care of the problem for just about everybody. Today soft and rigid contact lenses can also provide visual correction for people with Presbyopia.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that contact lens correction of Presbyopia is not for everybody. While many wearers are quite pleased with their bifocal contact lenses, others find themselves either unable to adjust to the lenses or dissatisfied with the vision they provide. In addition, bifocal contact lenses usually cost more than standard "single vision" lenses. Your vision (without lenses) and your specific near visual needs are important in determining whether bifocal contact lenses make sense for you. Presbyopes (people with Presbyopia) often need correction for both distance and near vision. Presbyopes with correction for near vision only are the worst candidates for bifocal contact lenses. So, if you are using reading glasses only and you can see clear at distance without any correction, your chances for this contact lenses are not in your favor.
Previously, there have been not so many effective techniques to improve your vision. Stem cell contact lenses seem to be a perfect medial treatment for corneal disease. Being a common cause for poor vision as well as blindness, this disease can be cured as revealed by New South Wales University’s scientists.vist http://www.wikihow.com/Put-in-Contact-Lenses for more InfoThe process includes stem cell treatment where stem cells are received from the eyes of the patient and finally converted into contact lenses under clinical laboratory conditions. As soon as the stem cells are ready to be used, they can be worn by the patient for 3 weeks. This time proves to be enough for stem cells to be taken to the patient’s damaged eyes.
The whole process is cost effective being a perfect breakthrough for the medical system. The patients will not experience dependence on organ donors or a potential tissue rejection anymore. These miraculous contact lenses are capable to restore eye sight to corneal disease affected patients.
Also Australian researchers from New South Wales University used theses stem cell contact lenses to restore eye sight to blinded disease affected patients, improving their sight for just some weeks. The medical treatment is performed under local anesthetic with no need for the patients to stay for extended time in a hospital.
There are about 10 million people worldwide affected by corneal disease which appears to be the fourth most common blindness form. Genetics, burns, surgery, chemotherapy, infection or other causes could be a reason why you are affected by this disease. Additionally, aniridia was also cured by stem cells.
Being blind, two patients were treated by stem cells to finally be able to read large letters of an eye chart with third patient perfectly reading the first rows of the chart. It is reported to be a inexpensive and simple treatment.
