How to choose your Acuvue contact lenses

Why wear Acuvue contact lenses?

Acuvue contact lenses are the main substitute for glasses (another method would be surgery). They are easy to wear and easy to take care of. Children as well as elders use them without problems. They don?t hurt, they don?t get lost or stuck (as some might think) and they can?t pop out of your eyes (as the rigid contact lenses used to do years ago). With the proper care, they cause neither eye irritations, nor other ocular problems.

So you can see how easy it is for people to wear them. Just follow the next steps and you will obtain your Acuvue contact lenses in no time. When it comes to health, Acuvue is one of the top trademarks in the contact lenses industry. So the quality is guaranteed. With the Acuvue contact lenses, you will feel comfortable while seeing better or looking gorgeous (depending on the choice you make regarding corrective Acuvue contact lenses or cosmetic ones). But what are the steps that you have to follow?

1. First, you have to get a medical opinion on you eyes? condition. Depending on the region that you live in, you will have to pay a visit to an optometrist, an ophthalmologist or an optician. He will analyze your eyes and give you a prescription which you will use to buy your Acuvue contact lenses.

2. If you are not sure what type of Acuvue contact lenses you want, choose one of the brands that the doctor recommends being the best. Think about your eyes as they are the ones that will be affected by poor quality contact lenses. Further on (because there are many types of Acuvue contact lenses), you have to decide if you want correctional contact lenses, cosmetic ones or even a combination between the two. You can even take a short test on the Acuvue web-site, which will help you decide what type of Acuvue contact lenses fit you best.

3. Buy your contact lenses from a store in your city or by using the Internet. The Internet stores offer different promotions and sometimes it might even be cheaper for you.

4. Enjoy your improved vision or the wonderful look that the Acuvue contact lenses give you. Wear the contact lenses as prescribed. Never use your Acuvue contact lenses or the cleaning solution more than indicated (or after the expiring date). Clean the lenses as recommended and, if you accidentally damage them, don?t hesitate to throw them away. Damaged contact lenses can do more harm then good. Your health is at stake.

Which Acuvue contact lenses are better?

Knowing what type of contact lenses Acuvue produces will help you decide which ones fit you. The spherical contact lenses are the regular ones. They are correction contact lenses for short-sightedness, far-sightedness and similar problems. These Acuvue contact lenses include Acuvue, Acuvue Advance with Hydraclear, Acuvue 2, 1-Day Acuvue and Acuvue 2 Colours. For the persons that suffer of astigmatism, Acuvue produces Acuvue advance contact lenses for Astigmatism and, for the ones that have presbyopia, there are Acuvue Bifocal Contact Lenses. There are also colour Acuvue contact lenses. They are called Acuvue 2 Colours and they offer you the choice between ten different shades, for light eyes as well as for dark eyes. You also have to consider the wearing and replacement period. The daily wear Acuvue contact lenses (that you have to take off at night), the extended wear Acuvue contact lenses (that can be worn a week without taking them off) and the type of one day-use Acuvue contact lenses - they all offer various possibilities of wear for any client?s taste.

The best advice one can receive is to take care of your lenses properly. This should not be very difficult to do, but, if you neglect this aspect, your health might be at risk. Don?t forget to clean your Acuvue contact lenses every time you use them, before and after you put them on. Handle each contact lens in turn, so you won?t get them mixed up. Replace the cleaning solution after each use. Make-up should be applied after putting the Acuvue contact lenses on. When applying deodorant or hair spray, try to avoid eye contact, as the contact lenses are very sensitive to these. Even if you don?t like it, you should always try to have a spare pair of glasses because it is not recommended to wear Acuvue contact lenses while having a cold or while going in a smoky or dusty environment. Germs or dust particles can get into your very sensitive eyes
