Silicone Hydrogel: Innovation in contact lensesSilicone hydrogel contact lenses have been one of the most important advancements in contact lens technology in recent years. They came about to create a contact lens that could deliver maximum oxygen while maintaining good eye health. After several years of research and resources, such lenses are now available for everyone to wear. These lenses deliver high oxygen to the eye and help in keeping eyes white and healthy. Just take a quick look at the benefits of silicone hydrogel contacts:
Even in challenging environments, such as using a computer and sitting in an air-conditioned office some silicone hydrogel lenses may still feel comfortable all day and into the night1. 
Silicone hydrogel lenses are more rigid than certain other types of contact lenses, but this increased rigidity makes the lenses easier to handle.
Protein and lipid build-up has long been an issue with contact lenses. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses have been proven to minimize such deposits. Indeed, when combined with the correct replacement schedule and appropriate care system, the problems associated with natural deposits have all been minimised. Silicone hydrogel lenses help you keep up with your active schedule. Why not try for yourself? ACUVUE® has both daily disposable and reusable silicone hydrogel contact lenses. Simply visit your optometrist for an introductory trial, and you can experience the comfort firsthand!
