Whether you have recently been diagnosed with a vision problem, or if you have been wearing corrective lenses for some time, you may be considering the different options that are available. One of the most popular choices today is silicone hydrogel contact lenses.

Here at Contact Lenses Express, we offer a range of disposable contact lenses manufactured from silicone hydrogel. Our secure and easy-to-use website makes it easy to purchase contact lenses online and our friendly customer service team is available to answer any questions that you may have.

Silicone hydrogel is a combination of soft, flexible plastics and silicone. The material is ideal for use in the manufacture of contact lenses for a number of reasons. For those who wear contact lenses, the most obvious benefit is the comfort that silicone hydrogel provides.

But silicone hydrogel contact lenses are also a very healthy option for your eyes. This is because they are gas permeable, allowing oxygen to penetrate the lenses and enabling your eyes to breathe.

Additionally, since silicone hydrogel contact lenses are disposable, they don’t have the opportunity to collect build-ups of harmful debris or organisms before they are thrown away. It also means that the lenses are affordable - and if one falls out or gets lost, it’s not a big deal.

Finally, silicone hydrogel is an extremely versatile material, allowing contact lenses to be made for a host of different conditions. Whether you suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or presbyopia, there’s probably a pair of silicone hydrogel contact lenses that match your specific visual needs.

There are various types of silicone hydrogel contact lenses and the right way to care for them will depend on how long the lenses are meant to last, as well as how they have been made.

Some silicone hydrogel lenses will require no maintenance at all, as they’re designed to be inserted straight from the package and then discarded once removed. Other lenses will require regular cleaning, disinfecting and moisturising to ensure you maintain good ocular health and comfort.

Whatever kind of contact lenses you have, you should remember to wash and dry your hands thoroughly before touching them. This will help you to avoid getting any debris or bacteria in the lenses - which could cause damage to your corneas.

You should also be sure to read the instructions that come with the contacts carefully. This will tell you which solutions should be used with your particular silicone hydrogel contact lenses.
