Silikonhüdrogelläätsed

Silikonhüdrogelläätsed are a modern type of soft contact lens. They are made from a material that combines silicone and hydrogel. This combination allows for significantly more oxygen to pass through the lens to the cornea of the eye compared to traditional hydrogel lenses. This increased oxygen permeability is a key benefit, as it helps to maintain eye health and can reduce the risk of complications associated with reduced oxygen supply.

The silicone component provides high oxygen transmissibility, while the hydrogel component provides water content and flexibility, making the lenses comfortable to wear. The water content in these lenses can vary, influencing their hydration and comfort levels throughout the day. Silikonhüdrogelläätsed are available in various designs, including daily disposables, two-week replacements, and monthly replacements, catering to different user preferences and needs. They are also used for extended wear in some cases, meaning they can be worn for a specified period, including overnight, though this should always be under the guidance of an eye care professional. Their enhanced breathability makes them a popular choice for many contact lens wearers.
