Silicone hydrogel lenses
Silicone hydrogel lenses are a type of soft lenses with very high oxygen permeability. This lens is often suitable for people who suffer from dry eyes. Have you worn regular soft lenses in the past and didn’t like them because you suffered from burning, red or dry eyes, or an uncomfortable feeling at the end of the day? Then we recommend a visit to our practice. The chances are that you won’t have these complaints when you wear silicone hydrogel lenses.
