Clear Vision lenses are enriched with moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid to ensure up to eight hours of comfortable wear. Mr Toh explained that the compound extends lens wear time by enhancing water retention, minimising tear evaporation, reducing protein absorption on the ocular surface (the outermost layer of the eye) and promoting uninterrupted blinking.

In addition, Clear Vision lenses are able to block 80 per cent of UVA rays and 95 per cent of UVB rays. In a sunny climate like Singapore, UV protection is vital as prolonged sun exposure can heighten one’s susceptibility to conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration and pterygium (growth on the eye’s surface). “Taking proactive measures like using UV-coated contact lenses can help safeguard eye health in the long run,” said Mr Toh. 

CLEAR VISION, ADVANCED

Since introducing the line, OWNDAYS has broadened the Clear Vision range to include lenses such as Clear Vision Advance, notable for its improved oxygen permeability due to its composition. 

Mr Toh pointed out that the silicone hydrogel lenses enable enhanced oxygen delivery to the cornea compared to traditional hydrogel lenses. “Improved oxygen flow not only promotes corneal health but also reduces the risk of corneal swelling, ulcers and other related complications,” he said.  

Moreover, the Advance line features a hydrophilic hydrogel coating that helps reduce protein deposits, minimising the potential for eye irritation. Mr Toh explained: “The moisture-rich environment maintains a smooth lens surface that discourages the adhesion of deposits.”

As such, Clear Vision Advance is an ideal choice for individuals with dry eyes or sensitive eyes. Additionally, this lens series offers enhanced tensile strength, ensuring increased resistance to chipping and tearing.
