A new generation of "super-permeable" contact lenses can transmit unprecedented amounts of oxygen to your cornea and, in some cases, enable 30 consecutive days of wear without removal.

Silicone hydrogel contact lenses represent a breakthrough over traditional hydrogel soft contact lenses, because silicone lets so much oxygen (essential for a healthy cornea) pass through the lens. "We're talking about lenses that breathe six to seven times more oxygen than previous lenses," says P. Douglas Becherer, O.D., former chairman of the American Optometric Association's Contact Lens and Cornea Section.

Silicone hydrogel contact lenses have caught on with both wearers and eye care practitioners. By 2009, silicone hydrogel lenses are expected to account for more than two-thirds of U.S. soft contact lens sales (in dollars), according to equity research firm Robert W. Baird & Co."

I think hindi naman hygenic na hindi tinatanggal ang contacts kahit na pwede siyang pang matagalan. I'm using Focus contacts and ang pinakamatagal na hindi ko siya natanggal was 3 days.Nakasuot pa un kahit na naliligo ako..Ok lang sana kaso isip ko baka mabulag naman ako..Ok din na ipahinga ang mata from contacts for some time.. hirap talaga malabo mata..haay..
