Silicone Hydrogel lenses are healthier than conventional soft lenses because they allow up to 6 times more oxygen to pass through them and increased oxygen transmission results in better overall eye health. Advantages of silicone hydrogel lenses over conventional soft lenses include more resistance to protein deposits, less drying of the lenses, lower risk of eye infection, easier handling due to increased rigidity of material, and much lower incidence of complications with extended wear use (overnight wear). The conveniences of 30 days continuous wear, as well as the lowered incidence of eye health complications are quickly making silicone hydrogels a better choice for both eye care practitioners as well as patients.
