Focus lens drops make contact lenses more comfortable by removing debris and lubricating your lens.
Focus lens drops increase the flow of tears and allow oxygen to permeate the cornea. The focus line of products may be used for all types of lenses including RGP's and soft contacts.
Comfort and durability are major concerns for the contact lens wearer. The advantage of wearing contact lenses over glasses is not only cosmetic but medical. Contact lenses may correct certain vision problems that regular eyeglasses cannot. However, despite significant advances in ophthalmology and eye care, it may still take time to adjust to wearing contacts. The purpose of products such as Focus Lens is to ease that transition.
Contact lenses have come a long way since their invention in 1887. The early prototypes covered the entire eye and were unable to be molded into any specific shape. In 1938, a new type of lens constructed out of Lucite was introduced. However, this material did not allow the circulation of moisture underneath the lens, forcing the wearer to change lenses every few hours. The comfort level of contacts continued to improve with the introduction of the corneal lens, which could be worn all day without difficulty.
One of the most significant advancements in contact lens technology is the RGP or rigid gas permeable lens, which allows oxygen to penetrate directly into the eye and circulate freely. While the original hard lens was constructed with a non-porous material called polymethylmethaylate, hence the abbreviation PMMA lenses, RGP's are made out of a combination of agents that allow gas to pass through the cornea.
Science has provided us with numerous solutions for our vision needs. Luckily, those advances have also extended to contact lens supplies.
