Dry eyes affect an estimated 20 million people in the United States alone. Symptoms range from a mild foreign body sensation in the eyes, to severe, debilitating pain. In most cases, liberal use of artificial tears manages the symptoms, and stabilizes the condition. Severe cases require a more aggressive approach with prescription medications, and surgical intervention.Dry eye can be an obstacle to successful contact lens wear. Most contact lens failures are due to dry eye problems. However, people with mild dry eye issues can still wear contact lenses. Johnson and Johnson, the maker of the Acuvue brand disposable contacts, have developed a lens, the Acuvue Oasys, which addresses these dry eye problems.
The Acuvue Oasys contact lens is made from Senofilcon A, a new material that is 50 percent smoother than currently available lens materials. In addition to its smooth feel, the new lens also features an improved formulation of the unique HYDRACLEAR technology that combines high performance base materials with a moisture-rich wetting agent. In a clinical study with more than 190 contact lens wearers, patients wearing Acuvue Oasys reported consistently clear, crisp vision and noted that their eyes remained fresh and moist, even in challenging environments.
While this technology is not a cure all, it does reduce the failure rate of lens wearers. A thorough eye exam, as well as a comprehensive medical history will dictate the ultimate success of wearing contact lenses. The Acuvue Oasys is just another tool available to patients who are super motivated to wear contacts, but are limited by certain medical conditions.
