Even with healthy growth in the number of contact lens (CL) options on the market, one particular burden continues to dog the industrycontact lens discomfort (CLD). Has persistent, clinically significant corneal or conjunctival staining using sodium fluorescein dye. 8 The core of verofilcon A lenses has a 51% water content and a modulus of 0.6 MPa, allowing for easy handling; and the surface of these lenses has a permanent level of moisture with >80% water . When lenses dry out, they allow less oxygen to reach the cornea, for this reason silicone hydrogel lenses were introduced. 2017;32(1):30-5.8. Initially, these lenses will be available in plano to -4.25D (in 0.25D steps) with cylinder powers of -0.75D and -1.25D and the full range will be available later this year.

The SynergEyes VS (Menicon) scleral lens completely vaults the cornea and limbus, landing entirely on the sclera.38 Its toric periphery may be precisely controlled in both the flat and steep meridians, aligning with the scleral for ease of landing and stability.38 This non-rotationally symmetrical lens design incorporates linear landing zones and landing zones with bi-tangential toricity.38 The linear landing zones are designed to follow the linear (rather than curved) shape of the sclera, accommodating a toric sclera.38 This should distribute the lens pressure more equally over the sclera due to the adjustable angles of the flat or steep meridians.38 The company hopes this will improve the scleral lens fit with less risk of air bubble formation or blanching of the conjunctival scleral vessels.38 The toric landing zones can greatly improve vision in patients with residual astigmatism as they are designed to provide consistent stabilization allowing for a front-surface cylinder. El ndice medio de dolor en el da 1 fue considerablemente superior en el grupo de Comfilcon, con un valor de 4,6 (DE 2,7), frente a 1,5 (DE 2,5) en el grupo de Senofilcon (P < 0,005). 2016.

SiHy and Conventional Toric Hydrogel Contact Lenses, Precision balance 8/4 lens design. When the water in hydrogel lenses gradually evaporates, for example, after many hours of wear or in dry or windy air, the material becomes drier and less comfortable to wear.

Together with your eye doctor, you can learn the benefits of each and determine which is the best choice for you. The water gradient technology incorporates what the manufacturer calls core and surface optimization: the core material has 33% water content (low water content helps to deliver high oxygen transmissibility) and the surface employs a hydrophilic gel designed to provide lubricity (>80% water).

This material now accounts for approximately 55% of all soft lens fits worldwide and 62% in the United States.7 Its increased oxygen transmissibility promised a reduction in the rate of corneal infections, but research shows the risk of microbial keratitis is similar regardless of lens material studied.8-12 In fact, several studies show that SiHy materials doubled the relative risk for infiltrative events.13-16 Studies also suggest that older generation SiHy materials provided only a minimal increase in comfort over conventional hydrogel (CH) materials.5,17 This was due to the incorporation of siloxane groups into SiHy lenses, which made them more hydrophobic and stiffer than CH materials, but led to issues related to poor lens wettability and mechanical complications.18-20 These mechanical complications included mucin balls (Figure 1), corneal erosions (Figure 2), superior epithelial arcuate lesions (Figure 3), epithelial flaps and CL-associated papillary conjunctivitis.21-26 The hydrophobic nature of certain SiHy materials tends to deposit high levels of certain lipids and increased denatured protein.27,28 Hence, several practitioners still choose to fit CH materials.
