What are the benefits of Biomedics Toric contact lenses?

Biomedics Contact lenses are designed specifically to correct astigmatism, a common refractive error caused by irregular curvature of the cornea or lens. These lenses offer several benefits tailored to address the unique needs of individuals with astigmatism. 

• Correct Astigmatism:
  • Toric lenses are specially designed to correct astigmatism by incorporating different powers in different meridians of the lens. This allows for precise vision correction, reducing blurriness and distortion caused by astigmatism.
• Stable and Consistent Vision:
  • The unique design of Biomedics Toric Contact lenses ensures stable positioning of the eye, minimizing lens rotation. This stability contributes to consistent vision correction throughout the day, even during activities like sports or exercise.
• Comfortable Fit:
  • Biomedics Toric lenses are made from a breathable hydrogel material that promotes comfort and hydration. The lens design includes features such as thin edges and optimized base curves to enhance comfort, reducing irritation and dryness.
• Optimized Visual Acuity:
  • By correcting astigmatism, these lenses improve visual acuity and clarity, allowing wearers to see more clearly at all distances. This enhances the overall quality of vision and reduces eyestrain.
• Easy Adaptation:
  • Many wearers find Toric lenses easy to adapt to, especially if transitioning from glasses or other types of contact lenses. The stable fit and consistent correction contribute to a smooth adaptation process.
• Convenient Replacement Schedule:
  • These lenses are typically designed for monthly replacement, offering convenience and affordability for regular contact lens wearers. Following the recommended replacement schedule ensures optimal lens performance and eye health.
• UV Protection (optional):
  • Some  Toric lenses are equipped with a UV blocker that helps protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. While not a substitute for sunglasses, this added feature provides additional UV protection.
• Wide Range of Parameters:
  • These lenses are available in a variety of parameters, including different base curves, powers, and cylinder values, to accommodate a wide range of astigmatism prescriptions. This ensures a customized fit and precise vision correction for each individual.
• Clinically Proven Performance:
  • Biomedics Toric contact lenses are backed by clinical research and testing to ensure safety, efficacy, and overall satisfaction for wearers. They are recommended by eye care professionals for reliable astigmatism correction.
• Enhanced Lifestyle Flexibility:
  • With Biomedics 55 Premier, individuals with astigmatism can enjoy an active lifestyle without compromising vision quality. The stable fit and correction provided by these lenses support various daily activities with confidence.
• Consultation and Follow-Up:
  • It’s essential to consult with an eye care professional to determine if Toric lenses are suitable for your specific astigmatism prescription and lifestyle. Regular follow-up appointments ensure proper fit and ongoing eye health monitoring.

How to Use:

Using Toric contact lenses requires careful handling and proper technique, especially due to their specific design for correcting astigmatism. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use contact lenses effectively:

Consultation and Prescription:

• Visit an eye care professional to undergo a comprehensive eye examination and obtain a prescription specifically for Biomedics contact lenses. The prescription will include details such as lens parameters (power, cylinder, axis) and wearing schedule.

Gather Supplies:

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, and dry them with a lint-free towel.
• Ensure you have a clean contact lens case and a suitable multipurpose contact lens solution recommended by your eye care professional.

Inspect the Lens:

• Before handling the lens, inspect it for any signs of damage or debris. Discard the lens if it appears torn, cracked, or dirty.

Orientation Check:

• Biomedics lenses have a specific orientation due to their astigmatism correction design. Hold the lens on your fingertip and ensure the correction lines (toric markings) are vertical.

Prepare for Insertion:

• Place the lens on the tip of your index finger, with the correct orientation ensured.

Eye Positioning:

• Use your other hand to hold your upper eyelid open gently. Look straight ahead or slightly downward.

Insertion:

• With your dominant hand, use your middle finger to pull down your lower eyelid.
• Slowly bring the lens toward your eye while looking into a mirror. Position the lens directly onto the center of your eye.

Release the Lens:

• Once the lens is on your eye, release your eyelids slowly and blink gently to center the lens. Avoid rubbing your eyes.

Check Comfort and Vision:

• Blink several times to ensure the lens is properly centered and comfortable on your eye.
• Check your vision clarity to ensure the astigmatism correction is effective.

Repeat for Second Eye:

• Follow the same steps to insert the second Biomedics Toric lens into your other eye.

Clean and Disinfect:

• After removing the lenses, clean them thoroughly using the recommended contact lens solution.
• Rub the lens gently with your fingertip to remove debris and protein deposits.

Storage:

• Place the lenses in a clean contact lens case filled with fresh contact lens solution.
• Replace the solution in the case daily and rinse the case with sterile solution.

Follow Wearing Schedule:

• Adhere to the wearing schedule recommended by your eye care professional (daily wear or extended wear) and replace the lenses according to the prescribed timeline.

Handle with Care:

• Avoid exposing the lenses to water or contaminants.
• Remove the lenses before swimming or engaging in water activities.
