Mirror Tinted Contact Lenses: Now What Is That?

Innovations can be seen everywhere. Now and then you can see newsflashes of some or the other product being launched in the international market. The innovation bug has hit all the sectors of our economy. Be it as small a thing as a pin or bigger one like a convertible car, innovation is the keyword.

Talking about radical innovations, mirror tinted contact lenses are one of the few things that will come to mind instantaneously. They have become a talk of the town as they are the hottest topic of interest with the party animals of America.

The name is speaking for the product itself. The mirror tinted contact lenses reflect the UV rays, thus protecting your eyes from their harmful effect. Moreover they are designed in a way that they can adjust themselves to the intensity of light falling on them. For instance, they will darken when there is too much of light and on the other hand will lighten up when there is absence or sufficient light. These lenses are made to cater to all your needs.

The best part of these lenses are that they are equipped with the color enhancing technique. Now what is that? This means that the lenses are capable of recognizing a particular color and then enhancing its visibility to the user. For instance, while playing tennis, your mirror tinted contact lenses will give you an edge of the enhancement of the green color of the tennis ball. Thus letting you see the ball coming to you more clearly and with sharp dimensions. Similarly for the basketball players, the white ball with streaks will become easy to spot, within few seconds, with the use of these specialized lenses.

Apart from this, the mirror tinted contact lenses have also gained popularity because of their cosmetic use. More and more youngsters are finding use with these lenses, as they are serving dual purpose for them.

The material used in making these lenses are non-corrective in nature and are therefore called plano lenses. They fall into the category of disposable lenses.

But just like the caution with the use of ordinary lenses goes, you should use them under the supervision of an expert eye specialist. Before buying a pair, you should test your eyes' acceptability to them. Clean them regularly and do not wear them for extended period. Remember, your eyes are precious and you need to take care of them.

Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR

ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR™ A New Generation of Contact Lenses

Finally there's relief for lens wearers, hope for those who have dropped out reluctantly and want to wear lenses again (approximately 11 million Americans) and incentive for those who want to try lenses but were afraid of the uncomfortable side effects. Thanks to a new brand of contact lenses from Vistakon, a Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., those days of discomfort may be more manageable.

Introducing ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand Contact Lenses, the first and only lens to combine the best features of today's leading contact lenses into one. Using a remarkable material called HYDRACLEAR™, ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand lenses offer exceptional long lasting comfort proven to last up to nine hours. And the eyes speak for themselves: ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ provides three times more oxygen than the leading contact lens brand. In a recent clinical trial using ACUVUE® ADVANCE™, new contact lens wearers experienced minimal eye redness that was comparable to those who wore no lenses.

While contact lens innovation has come a long way, there hasn't been a lens that combines the best innovations, until now. Traditional hydrogel lenses are comfortable and allow the eye to stay moist, but don't allow the eye to "breathe." Silicone hydrogels allow the eye to breathe, but are not as comfortable.ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR™

HYDRACLEAR™, the Vistakon brand name for the remarkable moisture-rich wetting agent that permeates the new ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ lenses, creates a unique silky-soft feel and provides exceptional comfort that lasts all day. In clinical trials, 87 percent of ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand wearers reported they were still comfortable after nine hours or more of wear, compared to 69 percent of wearers of Focus® Night & Day™ (silicone hydrogel). ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ lenses also were rated better than Focus® Night & Day™ in overall clarity of vision in daily activities and reduced eye redness.

In addition, these lenses experience very low protein build-up and offer the highest level of UV-blocking+* available in today's soft contact lens market, with more than 90 percent of UVA rays and 99 percent of UVB rays blocked+.
