Air Optix Night and Day Aqua Continual Monthly Contact Lenses
Air Optix Night and Day Aqua contact lenses # are designed
to be worn for one month. According to the manufacturer, Alcon, these
contact lenses can be used for daily wear (insert them in the morning and remove
them in the evening), but they are also designed for continuous wear. For
some users, the lenses can be worn without removing for up to 30 days and 29
nights. Air Optix Night and Day Aqua contact lenses are exceptional for
their high oxygen permeability, which supplies the cornea with a
sufficient supply of oxygen, even when the eye is closed while sleeping. This
package contains 6 lenses.
Continuous wear
However,
according to the manufacturer, the lenses should not be worn continuously unless
consulted and directed by an eye-care professional. Continuous wear is not
suitable for everyone. Furthermore, it should be noted that even among eye
care professionals the attitudes towards continuous contact lens wear vary
considerably. Many eye care professionals do not recommend the continuous wear
at all; others recommend to take contact lenses out after five days,
etc..
Consult with an ophthalmologist
Air Optix Night and Day are
undoubtedly among the highest quality contact lenses available on the
market. Nevertheless, it is highly inadvisable to buy these contact lenses
without professional fitting. Without a professional fitting, you risk wasting
your money and experiencing discomfort because the lenses have a very small
diameter (DIA = 13.8 mm) which fits a considerably smaller percentage of wearers
than the more common diameters 14.0 or 14.2.
