Welcome back for another informative and entertaining installment of the Valuvision blog! In our last episode we started talking about some of the reason to choose contacts over glasses. This time around we will go into which brand to choose.

You’ve made the choice to go with contacts, you’ve made your appointment at Valuvision, gotten the comprehensive eye exam, the question becomes, “Ok, great contact lenses are right for me, but how do I choose which brand? There are so many!”  The simple answer is: don’t worry! In Jacksonville FL, eye specialists at Valuvision’s are highly trained and our professional staff will guide you through which contacts are right for you. Many times this decision is simply a function of vision correction. Certain contacts are designed for certain vision problems; for example Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism. Valuvision has an extensive selection of contact lenses. At Valuvision eye care in Jacksonville Florida, our vision centers specialize in giving our patients the gifted of clear and corrected vision. Contact lenses are an excellent means to fulfill our mission statement.

One of the most popular brands, by far, is Acuvue. Acuvue was the originator of the disposable contact lenses. This technology innovation literally changed the game of the eye care industry. Acuvue has consistently pushed innovation in the vision care industry. An example of their pursuit of better vision care is The Vision Care Institute™, LLC, as a professional resource for eye doctors. Another example of Acuvue’s pursuit of better vision care is the innovation of different contact lens technologies, such as Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear.

When deciding to purchase contact lenses there are a few other factor that can be included in the decision making process. For more information on contact lenses in Jacksonville FL check out our contact lens page. The first, and probably most important, is budget. The second, and equally important in most people’s view, is comfort. Comfort can be equivocated to the measure of a complex phrase, oxygen permeability. This simply means how much oxygen can get to your eye so they may breathe. Oxygen equals comfort. Acuvue Oasys with Hydroclear is one of the most oxygen permeable contacts available at 98%. Acuvue Oasys is the #1 doctor recommended contact lens available. Acuvue advance are also in demand due to their oxygen permeability of 97% Acuvue 2 contact lenses are a hydrogel lens. While not as permeable, they are soft and comfortable and may be more cost effective for some patients. At Valuvision, we have utilized Acuvue contact lenses for over 20 years.
