Discount Contact Lens - Why It's Better To Shop Online For Contacts by Dean Caporella

Shopping for a discount contact lens deal is as easy as going online and simply typing in your search.

However, the question is often asked about the merits of shopping online as opposed to offline. Which is better when you're on the lookout for a discount contact lens deal?

Discount Contact Lens - Offline or Online?

Realistically, why would you shop offline given the convenience of buying your product over the internet? I think the answer to the question of which is preferable is a no-brainer.

The only time you'd consider buying from a physical store would be to take advantage of discount coupons found in newspapers and magazines or you just happen to be in a shopping center and near a contact lens store.

The convenience of simply ordering online and having the product shipped to your door is hard to beat!

How Much Can You Save?

Shopping online can net you savings of up to 70%. It's a very competitive business and companies are often caught in a cut-throat battle to win your business.

In recent times, as an extra incentive, attractive rebates have been introduced as an extra hook to win business.

What does this mean? In simple terms, the consumer is the winner. When shopping for rebate deals remember there is a timelime on the availability of these offers but the good news is this deadline is generally extensive.

Even better news, companies are generally at it again pretty quickly once the initial deadline has been reached. Comparison Shopping For Contacts

Another advantage is comparison shopping for a discount contact lens deal. Simply put, shop around and don't be afraid to ask for a better deal than the competition is offering.

The offline world has seen the introduction of businesses honoring competitors coupons in recent years and this trend could be catching on online.

Seriously though, you would be a pretty bad shopper if you couldn't find a discount contact lens deal online. Make sure you have a proper prescription authorization before you go shopping!

One of the drawback of wearing contact lenses is that since pupils of our eyes keep on changing when any light falls on to it.

Contact Lens Types by Bruce Macnaughton

Soft contact lenses have been released in many different formats since they were first developed in the 1960s.

Soft contact lenses were originally designed to be worn for 12 to 18 months and removed nightly. These contact lenses are now called "conventional soft contact lenses". They are usually prescribed as a specialty lens and are generally used when frequent replacement or disposable contact lenses are not available. They have the disadvantage of being more expensive and tend to accumulate surface deposits. This mode of lens wear requires more diligence with cleaning and care.

Disposable contact lenses were first released commercially in the 1980s. The first disposable lens was the Johnson and Johnson Acuvue contact lens, which was a 2 week disposable contact lens. It was a soft hydrogel lens and was primarily worn on a daily basis. The original Acuve contact lenses has only recently been discontinued. It was designed to be replaced after 2 weeks of daily wear.

Soft disposable silicon hydrogel contact lenses were first available in the 1990s. The first silicon hydrogel lenses offered were the B&L PureVision and Ciba Focus night & Day lens. Both these lenses are approved for one month extended wear. Silicon hydrogel contact lenses have the advantage of greater oxygen permeability then the original hydrogel contact lenses. Approximately 98% of patients are able to wear this type of contact lens. There is however, a slightly increased chance of developing microbial keratitis or corneal ulcer with this mode of wear. Some studies place the risk at one in five hundred per wearing year.

The next generation of silicon hydrogel soft disposable contact lenses saw the release of Ciba Optix O2 and Johnson and Johnson Acuvue Oasys. These lenses have an improved surface treatment, which leads to improved hydration and increased comfort.

More recently daily disposable soft hydrogel contact lenses have become increasingly popular. These lenses, such as J&J 1-day Acuvue Moist and CibaVision Focus Dailies have the advantage of being more hydrophilic and retaining moisture during the day.

Focus Dailies contact lenses contain AquaRelease to improve hydration and are replaced daily, leading to increased comfort from a cleaner lens. Daily replacement lenses also have the advantage of lower complication rates due to the lenses developing less surface deposits and lower infection rates. Obviously a contact lens case is superfluous with this mode of lens wear. Contact lens cases have been found to be a major source of microbes that can cause eye infections.

Contact lenses are now also available to buy online, meaning a faster, cheaper and more convenient alternative in purchasing your lenses. Contact lens wearers should still maintain a responsible attitude to lens wear, and have their eyes checked regularly by their eyecare practitioner. They should also check their own eyes daily for eye infections, by following the "Look OK, See OK, Feel OK" regime. Each morning after inserting the lenses they should check each eye look white, then check the vision in each eye separately, and then blink once or twice and ensure there is no discomfort. If there is any change, they should remove the lenses immediately and consult their eye care practitioner.
