Vertex Toric Contact Lenses Offer Disposable Convenience With Clear, Sharp Vision

By David Long

If you have astigmatism and want the comfort and freshness of a disposable lens with a frequent replacement schedule, you may want to consider Vertex Toric contact lenses from CooperVision. They offer the flexibility of either daily wear with removal, or optionally extended wear for up to 7 days before replacement.

When you suffer from astigmatism, the eye is shaped like a football rather than a sphere, which distorts your eyesight by causing rays of light to scatter instead of focusing sharply on the retina. Vertex Toric lenses are specially manufactured to compensate for this odd shape, and when placed on the eye will act as a refracting medium and re-focus light rays onto the retina where they belong. You then end up with the crisp and clear vision you need.

A high moisture level is important for keeping lenses soft and comfortable. These eye contacts are made of methafilcon A, a hydrophilic (water-absorbing) substance comprised of 55 percent water. Such a high moisture content ensures that your lenses will keep on feeling great for as long as you wear them.

Another thing that makes Vertex Toric lenses particularly comfortable when worn is the process in which they are constructed. They are manufactured using a patented technology called UltraSync, a process that produces a perfect edge on each lens. This leads to excellent stability, less rotation, and consistently outstanding comfort with each new pair.

These eye contacts also handle very easily. They are manufactured with a light blue tint that will allow you to see and handle them clearly, yet the tint is invisible while you are wearing them. That will save lots of time, since you will easily find and manipulate a lens you dropped, removed for disinfection, or are about to place on your eye.

Vertex Toric lenses require frequent replacement, and only your eye doctor can determine the best replacement schedule for you. It will usually be 1 to 2 weeks between replacements for this brand.

It is also essential to see your physician if you are considering using these lenses for overnight and extended wear of any length, because not everyone can tolerate this kind of wearing schedule. People have different medical needs, and what works for someone else may not work for you. Only your doctor knows for sure whether you can use these lenses for extended wear without other negative effects.

If you think a flexible wearing and replacement plan would suit your needs, then you'll be glad you gave Vertex Toric contact lenses a try. Whether it's the high moisture level, the fresh feeling you get from weekly to bi-weekly replacement, or the cutting-edge lens design, you will love your lenses for as long as you wear them.
