Those in the vision industry have seen an increase in contact lens related news lately. Not only has Acuvue just released the first daily disposable silicone hydrogel but there has been reports of vision related problems from those wearing bootleg circle contact lenses featured in the Lady Gaga video Bad Romance.
The new Acuvue TruEye was just released by Johnson & Johnson making it the only daily disposable silicone hydrogel on the market. It increases eye health because it's a daily disposable while providing the comfort and breathability normally found in other kind of contacts. While most will purchase this lens from their eye doctor at first, patients may want to where they'll save a considerable amount off the hefty price tag associated with the TruEye.
Circle contact lenses are also making the rounds now with Lady Gaga's video being the source of the rage. The video used technology to enhance her eyes but some rogue establishments are selling non-prescription circle lenses so wearers can get the same affect in every day life. Circle lenses can create a major health issues including corneal ulcers and blindness so it's imperative that patients do not buy contacts off the street.
The extremely healthy TruEye versus the potentially dangerous circle contact lenses has made July a truly up and down month for contact lens industry news.
