Contact lenses are surely gaining its popularity among Malaysian in recent years due to its convenience and superior aesthetic. It is no longer an uncommon situation to see people wearing contact lenses to avoid chunky glasses on important occasions and even on daily basis.

          As the modern lifestyle pushes youngster to rely heavily on contact lenses more than ever, it had led to a series of problems associated with contact lens wear such as corneal edema, neovascularization, infection, contact lenses related dry eye and so forth.

          All of these have led to the need for better contact lens materials, perhaps a more ‘breathable’ one!

          Subsequently, big players like Acuvue, Alcon and Bausch & Lomb had launched their premium silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses categories one after another ranging from monthly lenses (Air Optix & PureVision) to daily disposable lenses (1 Day Acuvue TruEye & Dailies Total 1).

          While premium SiHy lenses do offer superior wearing experience for the consumers, it also cost more in the long-term. Looking at this opportunity, Cooper vision had launched an affordable SiHy series to target those who are looking for ‘cheap-but-good’ contact lenses – the Clarity family.

The few members of the Clarity family include:

• Clarity elite (monthly)
• Clarity 1 day (daily)
• Clarity 1 day multifocal (daily) for presbyopia
• Clarity 1 day toric (daily) for combination of myopia and astigmatism.

          Clarity family is feature-packed SiHy lenses that not only offer excellent all-day comfort but also provide UVA and UVB protection. And the secret behind?  Is the WetLoc Technology!

          Basically, what the WetLoc Technology does is that it manipulates the structure of hydrophobic (water-hating) silicone molecules so they become hydrophilic (water-loving) and this creates a lens that naturally attracts and binds water molecules, enabling it to provide continuous wettability throughout the wearing time.

The result – is a lens with high water content that provides excellent all-day comfort for its wearers!

Following the emerge of Clarity family, consumers certainly have more choices when it comes to contact lenses selection. It is a good bargain for those who seek to save some bucks and at the same time do not want to put their eye health at stake.

1、给需要化妆的女生们，应在化妆前配戴隐形眼镜。而卸妆前取下隐形眼镜，不要使化妆品粘连到镜片。

2、比较不建议使用镊子和棍棒等辅助工具，因为镊子如果不包裹尖头，很容易损伤镜片，而镊子和棍棒头的包裹物很容易被细菌污染而成为细菌的良好培养基从而污染镜片，使眼睛发炎。

3、如感觉到眼睛内有分泌物、摩擦感或结膜充血，甚至角膜上长白点，绝不要勉强配戴镜片并应立即去医院就诊。

4、月抛镜片建议配戴时间不要超过一个月。

5、普通软性隐形眼镜可以矫正轻度散光，拥有较高散光者请选用散光隐形眼镜。

6、任何镜片在配戴前必须清洁与消毒。要记得洗干净双手。（定期修剪指甲，指甲不易留长）

1、每次取戴镜片之前确保指甲已剪短，把手清洗干净（建议使用洗手液）。

2、在干净、平整的桌面上取戴您的镜片，以免镜片不小心掉在地上。

3、每次配戴镜片之前，仔细检查镜片有无破损、污物及沉淀物。如有破损则不能再配戴。（建议配戴前再清洁冲洗后才戴，比较卫生）

      OK镜，全称：Orthokeratology（角膜塑形术），简称Ortho K 。    

      OK镜是一种硬性透气性隐形眼镜——RGP（Rigid Gas Permeable contact lens. RGP），这类隐形眼镜需要个性化定制，专业性及针对性较强，只能在专业机构验配，因此尚未为广大民众熟知。

      OK镜有两大好处，第一是白天可以不用戴眼镜，视力清晰、方便，第二是长期配戴后可以延缓近视加深速度，（注意：是“延缓近视加深”，不是完全阻止，更不是把原有的近视治好）。
