Who Should Use Hybrid Contact Lenses?
Hybrid contact lenses require fitting that is both accurate and informed. From allowing the lenses to sit comfortably to delivering the sharpest possible vision, there are many steps in this process.
Keratoconus
with this, distortion in vision is produced because the cornea is thin and has been shaped as a cone. Soft lenses may not be able to give the required structure and vision correction that hybrid lenses can.
Correcting Alignment
Hybrid lenses are a better option in terms of correcting astigmatism vis-à-vis the soft lens since they can offer more precise vision correction by allowing the eye to maintain its natural shape.
Irregular Corneas
Hybrid contact lenses will be better capable of providing vision correction and fitting to persons with corneas of odd shapes due to surgery, injury, or similar.
Sensitive Eyes
For someone to whom stiff lenses bring irritation, hybrid lenses could solve their problem by providing a more comfortable wear without compromising the clarity of vision.
Care and Cleaning
- Daily Cleaning: Use a suggested lens cleaner to clean your lenses after taking them out. Gently rub the lens between your fingers to get rid of any deposits of debris or protein.
- Rinse Well: To get rid of any cleaning solution residue, thoroughly rinse the lenses with a sterile saline solution or multipurpose solution.
- Cleaning: Put the lenses in a lens bag that has been freshly cleaned and filled with disinfectant solution. Old solutions should never be reused since they may contain germs and other dangerous microbes.
- Storage: Keep the lenses in their case and make sure the solution is completely submerged in them. This keeps them fresh until the next use and stops them from drying out.
- Weekly Deep Clean: Use a specialized enzymatic cleaner made especially for hybrid lenses to give your lenses a deeper cleaning once a week. This aids in removing any tenacious residues that regular cleaning might overlook.
- Change the Case Frequently: To avoid contamination, the lens case needs to be changed every one to three months.
