Transitions lenses employ a proprietary and patented photochromic dye system that enables them to activate, or darken, when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet light. The greater the intensity of UV rays, the darker the lenses become. When the UV light diminishes, the lenses fade back. As UV light conditions change, the level of tint adjusts, always providing just the right amount of tint. UV blockage remains at 100%, regardless of the level of tint.* See similar questions...

Seven day Continuous wear contact lenses CIBA Night & Day and Bausch & Lomb (PureVision) lenses are proving to be successful. They cause minimum hypoxic stress and higher percentage of bound water and extra comfort. We start with daily wear, and then if considered suitable, move on to fitting you for overnight and then seven day wear.

Currently, an O2OPTIX toric lens is not available, but CIBA Vision is developing an O2OPTIX toric lens for release soon. Patients with up to 1D to 1.25D of astigmatism may be able to be fitted in a spherical O2OPTIX lens depending on their exact vision and visual needs. If you have astigmatism, you should talk to your optometrist about this possibility. See similar questions...

with all contact lenses, it is impossible to say that everyone can wear a particular lens. O2OPTIX will be offered in a single base curve (8.6mm) in spherical powers from +6.00D to -8.00D (in 0.25D steps) and -8.50D to -10.00D (in 0.50D steps). Your optometrist can determine the best lens for you. See similar questions...

RGP bifocal contact lenses for people with presbyopia are an excellent choice. The lenses can be made several different ways to fit your visual needs. Most people find that they receive the best visual acuity with RGP bifocals. RGPs can be used to reshape the cornea, either to be worn during sleep as part of a program to improve vision or to help people with keratoconus. See similar questions...

Virtually anyone can wear contact lenses. Today, contact lenses fit nearly every patient and lifestyle. Even patients requiring bifocal or toric lenses can wear the new advanced lenses. However, patients with dry eye syndrome, chronic allergies, or corneal disorders may not be ideal candidates for contact lenses. Additionally, certain medications may affect a person's ability to wear contact lenses. Our doctors will be happy to discuss your contact lens options with you. See similar questions...

Transitions Lenses begin to darken the moment they are exposed to UV light. The degree of darkening is a function of the intensity of UV light. The instant UV rays are removed, the lenses begin to clear. In short, this means that Transitions Lenses quickly darken when you go outdoors, and quickly lighten when you return indoors. Most users report that this transition happens so smoothly, they are unaware of the change. They are aware, however, of their continued visual comfort. See similar questions...

Yes. You may have been told that soft lenses do not correct astigmatism in the past, but this is no longer the case.There is a special type of soft lens called a "Toric" lens that is designed with different curvatures on the front and back to compensate for the astigmatism. They are more difficult to fit and more difficult to manufacture, therefore they tend to be more expensive that standard soft lenses. They are widely available now ? you can even get monthly disposable toric lenses. See similar questions...
