Focus Night and Day Contact LensesCreated:January 20, 2004Our doctors have been excited to work with a lens that we can finally endorse as a safe overnight wear option for many of our patients! Some details follow...Now you can wake up and go to sleep with the freedom of NIGHT & DAY™ lenses. A year long FDA study of NIGHT & DAY wearers indicated that:
Wearers also reported that the lenses felt less dry than ordinary soft contact lenses. How NIGHT & DAY lenses workThe lens' unique molecular structure has two distinct pathways that allow water and oxygen to pass through to the eye without reducing the lens' ability to transmit oxygen. The lens can move freely on the eye and to keep plenty of oxygen flowing to the cornea-no sticky eyes!Red eyes can be a sign that the eyes are not receiving enough oxygen. Insufficient oxygen also compromises normal eye function and causes uncomfortable lens wear. Patients typically don't experience red eyes with NIGHT & DAY, which are made of a highly oxygen transmissible material. So sufficient oxygen reaches the eye, even during sleep. Are NIGHT & DAY contact lenses safe?Both our clinical research and market experiences have shown that NIGHT & DAY lenses can be worn safely for up to 30 continuous nights and days.NIGHT & DAY is one of the most thoroughly researched contact lenses in history. We have amassed more than 2,000 patient years of clinical study in the U.S. with 483 patients having worn NIGHT & DAY for more than a year. The lenses enable sufficient oxygen to reach the eye even during sleep, help minimize deposit buildup on the surface over time and wet easily, which helps them move well on the eye. NIGHT & DAY lenses allow the eyes to breath by delivering up to six times more oxygen to the eye-the highest in the industry — than ordinary soft contact lenses.
