Semi-Soft Contact Lenses: Benefits & Advantages | [Your Brand/Site Name]
Semi-soft contact lenses, also known as rigid gas permeable contacts, provide the best of both traditional hard contacts and modern soft contacts. They solve the problems of hard contacts--which are rarely used today--without sacrificing the benefits hard contacts provide.-
Oxygen Flow
-
Unlike hard contacts, semi-soft contact lenses are made of oxygen permeable material, allowing your eyes to breathe the oxygen they need to stay healthy.
Vision Acuity
-
Semi-soft contact lenses maintain their shape when you blink, resulting in sharper vision than soft lenses provide.
No Water Content
-
Unlike soft contacts, semi-soft contacts have no water content, meaning they will not dehydrate over time. As a result, they are less likely than soft contacts to cause dry eyes.
Comfort
-
Although gas-permeable contacts often require an adjustment period before the wearer feels they are comfortable, the contacts have more movement than hard ones and provide long-term comfort as long as the user wears them consistently.
Lens Care
-
Semi-soft contacts are easier to care for than soft contacts because the semi-soft contact's lack of water content makes it harder for proteins and bacteria to infect the lenses.
