Vision correction soft contact lenses is becoming more popular, not surprisingly. Lenses comfortable, hygienic, don’t hinder traffic and do not restrict the visual field. The latter is especially appreciated by the drivers for whom the correct vision correction is directly linked to security. Points can slide, to prevent all-round visibility, to fog, to distort the objects and to provoke the wrong perception of the distance to them. This often becomes a cause of the accident, which may suffer not only the driver and his passengers, but other road users.
Soft contact lenses much easier. They adhere to the eye, which eliminates the slipping or fogging, they do not limit the field of view without distorting the distance to other objects. But with them you may encounter some difficulty. Initially, soft contact lenses are made only of spherical shape. It was a logical decision, because the surface of the eyeball a spherical and meant that the lens needs to repeat it. However, lenses with a spherical surface cause the appearance of aberrations of light spots, lens flare and ghosting. Very often these distortions arise in the dark. The darkness, the glow from the headlights of oncoming cars, reflections from wet asphalt and road signs — in such circumstances it is not surprising to have an accident even on a familiar road.
In addition, the material some lenses of poorly wetting of the tear fluid, which leads to dry eyes, rapid fatigue and discomfort. Suffering from drying out and the lens: dries, she can change shape, causing the image could again spread out and distorted. But the driver, moving in a dense traffic on a highway, often just not possible to stop and use moisturizing drops. Some lenses moistened by tears fairly well, but become a serious obstacle for the access of air to the surface of the cornea that prolonged wearing causes her oxygen starvation up to the formation of ulcers.
Alina Safronova, doctor of the medical diagnostic center of the General staff of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, Moscow:
“In order to prevent the appearance of lens flare and ghosting, some drivers wear soft contact lenses paired with special anti-reflective glasses, which of course helps with light distortion, but the level of comfort differs little from the use of glasses for vision correction. The best solution for the driver will be wearing soft contact lenses with high definition optics, which eliminates distortion that provokes not only the lens, but the eye itself. In particular, such properties are different lenses with an aspheric surface, and they adhere perfectly to the eye and perfectly eliminates light distortion and glare, including at night. In the dark these lenses seen as well as the day. Usually the drivers we recommend you modern soft contact lenses PureVision2 HD optics. They are comfortable and hygienic, virtually no felt on the eyes, do not prevent motion, prevent the occurrence of optical distortion. Due to the material from which made these lenses, they are well moistened with the tear fluid and at the same time provide penetration to the cornea of necessary oxygen.
With proper selection of soft contact lenses for vision correction, they provide invaluable benefits to the driver. Unlike glasses, they can not slide or fall off even during sudden movements, the man behind the wheel of a car, by definition, cannot be insured. And that is especially important for driving safety, they are absolutely not narrow the visual field, do not interfere with the lateral view and does not distort the distance to neighboring vehicles or obstacles on the road.”
Driving is a big responsibility, and tolerate any inconvenience that occurs when vision correction for the driver simply unacceptable: from the definition of the picture before his eyes the life and health of him and other road users.
