Thinking of laser surgery?

Many individuals who need glasses look to laser surgery to correct their vision problems. Eager to throw away their glasses, many people rush into the decision to have laser surgery without considering other alternatives.

You now have more choices than ever before for sharp, accurate vision. CIBA VISION is a leader in developing leading-edge technologies for soft contact lenses. Our most advanced new products include:

AIR OPTIX^® A breathable contact lens that transmits up to 5 times more oxygen than traditional (HEMA-based) soft contact lenses – for whiter, healthy-looking eyes, no matter how long you wear your lenses each day*. Also approved for overnight wear for up to six nights.

These excellent alternatives to surgery are affordable and convenient. You'll love the feeling of freedom you never thought you'd have with contacts. Ask your eye care professional for more information about the best correction option for your eyes.

Tired of bifocals or reading glasses?

Hold the book up close and the words appear blurred. Push the book farther away, and the words snap back into sharp focus.

That's how most of us first recognise a condition that eye care professionals call presbyopia, a name derived from Greek words meaning "old eye." Eye fatigue or headaches when doing close work such as sewing, knitting or painting, are also common symptoms. Because it is associated with ageing, presbyopia is often met with a groan – and an expectation that reading glasses or bifocals are inevitable.

Until recently this was true, however, CIBA VISION's Focus^® Progressives^® soft contact lenses can provide clear and comfortable vision to individuals with presbyopia, at all distances without the hassles, vision jumps and distortions typical of bifocals or reading glasses. CIBA VISION also offers Focus^® DAILIES^® All Day Comfort PROGRESSIVES – the first daily disposable contact lens for bifocal wearers.

Do your eyes often look red and irritated?

Your eyes need oxygen to stay healthy and comfortable. But soft contact lenses create a barrier to the natural flow of oxygen between your eyes and the air around them. Without enough oxygen, you might experience symptoms such as end-of-day discomfort, irritation, dryness and redness. In the long run, a lack of oxygen may even cause complications.

AIR OPTIX^® and AIR OPTIX^® NIGHT&DAY™ contact lenses are made with a revolutionary silicone hydrogel technology that allows more oxygen through the lens than traditional soft contact lenses.

AIR OPTIX^® - A breathable contact lens that transmits up to 5 times more oxygen than traditional soft contact lenses – for whiter, healthy-looking eyes, no matter how long you wear your lenses each day*.

Focus AQuify^® refreshes and rehydrates like the natural tear film, enhancing moisture retention and lubricating both the surface of the eye and the lens.

Play Sports?

When you're working your muscles outside in the pulsating heat – whether you're hitting a tennis ball across a sunny, squint-inducing court or sending a cricket ball sky high – you shouldn't have to worry about your glasses.

Glasses may help you see clearly, but they also have a tendency to break and/or shift position on your face, easily fog up on humid days, may add a distracting glare and inevitably add to the perspiration already running down your face.

Have you ever thought about using contact lenses for sports? Contact lenses provide stable, sharp vision all athletes need when out on the field, tennis court, track, etc. minus the fogging, extra sweating and constant jostling that continually plague glasses wearers.

Contacts do not fog up
Contacts won't slide down your nose during that essential play
Contacts will give you vision free from the glare you may experience with glasses

Best of all, contacts give wearers a more natural vision correction. And as any sports enthusiast knows, contacts provide unobstructed peripheral vision, resulting in optimal sports performance.

The following types of contacts lenses are targeted specifically toward sports aficionados:

Focus^® DAILIES^® All Day Comfort
These daily disposable lenses provide ideal flexibility and convenience for the on-the-go athlete: You change these contacts daily, so just insert a fresh pair before heading out to play to achieve the best vision performance.

If you happen to lose a pair in the recesses of your gym bag, or a lens accidentally falls onto the locker room floor, don't worry: Focus DAILIES are replaced each day, so just take along an extra pair.

Even if you want to keep wearing your glasses the majority of the time, you can still use a new pair of Focus DAILIES for any sports-related activity.

Precision UV Contact Lenses**
UV rays infiltrating the Earth's surface don't just burn your skin, but may also affect your eyes as well. Those who spend long periods of time outdoors are at a greater risk for excess UV exposure.

Help protect your eyes with Precision UV Contact Lenses' UV-absorbing technology, which absorbs approximately 90 percent of the harmful UV rays entering your eye (see notes).

Combining Precision UV Contact Lenses with UV-coated sunglasses offers you the best protection when you're out on the field, tennis court, golf course, etc.

Focus Progressives Helping You See Near, Intermediate & Far

You don't need to be 25 and in great physical shape to enjoy playing sports. Targeted toward highly active individuals over age 40, Focus Progressives provide the optimal vision experience for those who still enjoy participating in such sports as tennis and golf.

Whether you have problems seeing near or far, Focus Progressives offer the finest quality vision correction solution, helping you see up close, intermediate and far away.

Best of all, Focus Progressives offer convenience, coming in both frequent replacement and daily disposable options. Daily disposables even allow you to insert a fresh pair every time you head out to participate in your favorite sport.

Ocular Allergies?

Keep your contact lenses – even with allergies and hay fever.

Allergy season is a real challenge, especially if you wear contact lenses. No matter what the cause, seasonal allergies make your eyes hypersensitive and irritated. Ordinary soft contact lenses may make them feel even worse. Instead of reaching for your glasses in frustration, ask your eye care practitioner about Focus^® DAILIES^® All Day Comfort, the daily disposable soft contacts from CIBA VISION that give you a fresh, clean lens each day.

Do you have Astigmatism?

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea, the front surface of the eye, has an irregular curvature that results in blurred vision at any distance, and is very common. Thanks to innovative technology in contact lenses, astigmatism no longer limits your ability to wear contact lenses.

CIBA VISION offers many contact lenses for the correction of astigmatism including AIR OPTIX for Astigmatism, Focus^® DAILIES^® TORIC All Day Comfort and Focus^® Toric . With this wide range of choices, there is a toric lens available for almost any contact lens preference, whether you are looking for daily disposable lenses or monthly lenses.

* Please consult your eye care professional for recommended wearing schedules.

**Warning: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed.

NOTE: Long term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-absorbing contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-absorbing contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information.
