Hybrid Contacts
Contact lenses have become a popular choice for individuals who want to correct their vision without the hassle of wearing glasses. Traditional contact lenses have been around for decades, offering a convenient alternative to eyeglasses. However, advancements in technology have given rise to a new type of contact lens – hybrid contacts.
What Are Hybrid Contacts?
Hybrid contacts are a revolutionary type of contact lens that combine the best features of both soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. The rigid center corrects vision by providing precise clarity, while the soft skirt offers comfort and stability. This unique combination allows for the benefits of both types of lenses to be experienced simultaneously.
The central RGP lens of a hybrid contact is made from a rigid material that allows oxygen to pass through to the cornea, ensuring ample oxygen supply to the eyes. This ensures the overall health of the eyes, preventing dryness and reducing the risk of complications associated with limited oxygen flow
Who Can Benefit from Wearing Hybrid Contacts?
Hybrid contacts are an excellent option for individuals who have specific vision needs that cannot be adequately addressed by traditional contact lenses. They are particularly beneficial for those with astigmatism, irregular corneas, or those who require multifocal correction.
Individuals with astigmatism often struggle to find contact lenses that provide clear vision without compromising comfort. Hybrid contacts offer a solution by providing both sharp vision correction and all-day comfort. Likewise, those with irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus, can benefit from the precise vision correction provided by the rigid center of hybrid contacts.
The Advantages of Hybrid Contacts
The advantages of hybrid contacts over traditional contact lenses are numerous. Firstly, the combination of a rigid center and a soft outer skirt provides the best of both worlds – clear vision and comfort. This makes hybrid contacts an excellent choice for individuals who have struggled to find a contact lens that meets their specific needs.
Secondly, the central RGP lens of hybrid contacts allows for better oxygen flow to the eyes, keeping them healthy and reducing the risk of complications. Additionally, the soft outer skirt offers a more secure fit, reducing lens movement and providing a stable vision throughout the day.
Lastly, hybrid contacts are versatile and can be used for various vision corrections, including astigmatism, presbyopia, and irregular corneas. This makes them an ideal option for individuals with specific vision needs who want to enjoy the benefits of contact lenses.
