BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB) August 20, 2007 ????Silicone hydrogels make possible a new generation of ‘super-permeable’ contact lenses that can transmit unprecedented amounts of oxygen to the cornea and, in some cases, enable 30 consecutive days of ‘extended wear’ without removal. “Silicone-hydrogel contact lenses represent a breakthrough over traditional hydrogel soft contact lenses, because silicone permits so much more oxygen to pass through the lens, which is essential for a healthy cornea,” said Bob Ward. “In fact, these next-generation lenses allow six or seven times more oxygen to permeate than previous contact lenses, which is why they are becoming very popular with both wearers….
