Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism

 

Brand new and introduced in June 2008, these lenses are specifically designed for people with Astigmatism. Astigmatism is the most common vision problem, caused by an irregular shape of the cornea. Astigmatism can usually be corrected with contact lenses, such as Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism. They will help take away the blur that is caused by this condition.

These lenses come with Hydraclear technology and UVA and UVB blocking which blocks more than 90 percent of UVA rays and 99 percent of UVB rays.

Hydraclear ensures a long lasting soft, moisture rich and silky feel. In addition they have the same reduced edge-height design as Acuvue 2.

Features and Benefits of Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism

·                  Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contacts are easy-to-use and comfortable enough to wear for up to 7 consecutive days.

·                  They are slightly tinted, so the lens is easier to recognize and handle plus a high level of UVA and UVB Blocking helps to protect portions of your eyes.

·                  The Hydraclear technology brings together a remarkable moisture rich wetting agent with high performance base materials to form clear, wettable lenses resulting in a unique, silky, soft feel.

·                  Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism lenses stay moist all day and the soft and flexible material provides comfort throughout the day

·                  The so called ‘Accelerated Stabilization Design’ (what a nice marketing phrase) is promising to balance the lens in place and quickly realigns the lens if it rotates out of position. It provides patients with astigmatism with consistent, all-day vision and comfort.

Who should wear Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism?

·                  These lenses should be considered if you experience discomfort with your current contact lenses.

·                  They are ideal for people who thought they could not wear contact lenses because of astigmatism.

Question: How Much Do Contact Lenses Cost?

 

Answer: It is difficult to estimate how much you may spend on contact lenses because so many variables can affect the price. Optometrists determine their own fees for contact lenses, as well as for contact lens exams and follow-up visits. Many optometrists combine these fees into one price, so make sure you ask what you’re getting for your money.

Many different types of contact lenses are available today. Your optometrist will be able to determine the type of lenses that would be most beneficial to you. Typical prices of contact lenses vary depending on the type of lens and the prescription required.

To give you an idea of the range out there, here are some average contact lens prices taken from commerical opticals, online contact lens retailers and private doctors’ offices.

*Bausch & Lomb Soflens 59 Rs.600/- to Rs.800/-

* Johnson & Johnson MOIST ACUVUE Rs.1200/- to Rs.1300/-

* Freshlook Colorblends Rs.350/- to Rs.450/-

* Cooper vision Frequency 55 Aspheric Rs.600/- to Rs.800/-

 

 

Keep in mind that some or all of the contact lens fees may be covered under your insurance plan.

If you are considering ordering contact lenses online, pay particular attention to the shipping charges and volume discounts. Typically, prices may only be one or two dollars higher in a private doctor’s office, where contact lenses are usually shipped very quickly. Online retailers may have slightly lower prices but longer shipping periods (1 to 2 weeks, on average). It may also be more difficult to order custom-designed lenses online.

Remember that contact lenses are a safe and convenient correction option, but they are also medical devices that must be cared for properly in order to maintain healthy vision. Also, never swap lenses with anyone — sharing contact lenses can cause infections and other serious eye problems.
