Online contact lens

Millions of people today wear contact lenses to help them see clearly. If you need prescription lenses, you could be one of them. With all the lens choices available now, most people can find contacts that give them sharp, comfortable vision without compromising eye health.

 

A corrective lens is a lens worn in front of the eye, mainly used to treat disorders like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. These can be easily seen by ophthalmologic doctors, by measuring the VA - Visual acuity. VA is a quantitative measure of the ability to identify black symbols on a white background at a standardized distance as the size of the symbols is varied. It is the most common clinical measurement of visual. Visual acuity is often measured according to the size of letters viewed on a Snellen chart or the size of other symbols, such as Landolt Cs or Tumbling E. In some countries, acuity is expressed as a vulgar fraction, and in some as a decimal number. Visual acuity measurement involves more than being able to see the optotypes. The patient should be cooperative, understand the optotypes, be able to communicate with the physician, and many more factors. If any of these factors is missing, then the measurement will not represent the patient's real visual acuity.

 

Many humans have one eye that has superior visual acuity over the other. If a person cannot achieve a visual acuity of 20/200 (6/60) or above in the better eye, even with the best possible glasses, then that person is considered legally blind in most of the countries.

 

Some contact lens require daily maintenance. Regular cleaning and disinfecting must be done in order to retain clear vision and prevent discomfort and infections by various microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and Acanthamoeba that form a biofilm on the lens surface. Fungus is tricky to detect because infections in contact lens users are usually bacterial, not fungal. Diagnosis requires a lab culture not all doctors are prepared to take or read. Further, the medicine used to treat fungal infections is not widely stocked by pharmacies and often must be ordered.
