The Next Generation of Comfort and Dry Eye Relief
For decades, traditional soft contact lenses were made from standard hydrogel plastics. While comfortable, these lenses relied entirely on water to carry oxygen to your eye. Over long days, as the water evaporated, the lenses could dry out, leaving eyes red, irritated, and feeling gritty.
Silicone Hydrogels represent the most significant leap forward in contact lens material technology. By incorporating silicone into the lens, these contacts allow up to five times more oxygen to reach the cornea compared to traditional soft lenses.
Why Choose Silicone Hydrogel Lenses?
- Healthy, White Eyes: Starving the eye of oxygen can cause red, bloodshot eyes and swelling. Silicone hydrogels allow your eyes to breathe naturally, keeping them white and healthy-looking.
- Exceptional Dry Eye Relief: Because these lenses do not rely solely on water content for oxygen, they are highly resistant to dehydration, making them the premier choice for patients with dry or sensitive eyes in our warm Louisiana climate.
- Extended Wear Safety: Because of their extreme oxygen permeability, certain silicone hydrogel lenses are approved for safe overnight wear (as prescribed by Dr. Darby Chiasson).
- All-Day Comfort: Enjoy comfortable lens wear from early morning commute to late-night screen time.
Say goodbye to dry, red eyes at the end of the day.
