遠視用コンタクトレンズ：完全購入ガイド

If you've been diagnosed with hyperopia, or farsightedness, you might be wondering how contact lenses can help. Unlike glasses, contacts sit directly on your eye, providing a wider field of view and more natural vision. In this guide, we'll explain how hyperopia contact lenses work, what to consider when choosing them, and how they differ from regular lenses.

Hyperopia is a common refractive error where close objects appear blurry, but distant objects are clear. It happens when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing light to focus behind the retina. Contact lenses for farsightedness are designed to correct this by adding plus power, which helps bring images into focus on the retina.

How Do Hyperopia Contact Lenses Work?

Hyperopia contact lenses work by adding a convex shape to the lens, which increases its curvature and helps converge light rays before they enter the eye. This effectively shifts the focal point forward onto the retina, making close-up tasks like reading or sewing much clearer. The prescription for these lenses is written in plus (+) diopters, indicating the amount of correction needed.

Unlike glasses, contacts move with your eye, so you don't have to adjust your head to see clearly through the optical center. This provides a more natural and comfortable vision experience, especially for activities like sports or driving. Additionally, contacts don't fog up or get splattered by rain, which is a common annoyance with glasses.

• Plus power lenses correct farsightedness by converging light.
• Contacts offer a wider field of view compared to glasses.
• They move with your eye, reducing distortion and peripheral blur.

What to Consider When Buying Hyperopia Contact Lenses

When shopping for contact lenses for farsightedness, you'll need a valid prescription from an eye care professional. The prescription will include the sphere power (in plus), base curve, and diameter. It's essential to choose lenses that match your eye's measurements to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal vision.

You'll also have a choice between daily disposables, monthly lenses, or extended-wear options. Daily lenses are convenient and hygienic, while monthly lenses are more cost-effective in the long run. Consider your lifestyle and budget when making a decision. For example, if you wear contacts occasionally, daily lenses might be ideal; if you wear them every day, monthly lenses could save you money.

• Always use your current prescription and eye measurements.
• Decide between daily, monthly, or extended-wear based on usage.
• Check the lens material for breathability and moisture retention.

Hyperopia vs. Regular Contact Lenses

The main difference between hyperopia contact lenses and regular (or standard) lenses is the power. Regular lenses are typically for myopia (nearsightedness) and have minus power. Hyperopia lenses have plus power. The optical design is different, but the fitting process is similar. If you have astigmatism as well, you might need toric lenses, which correct both the spherical and cylindrical errors.

Some brands offer colored contact lenses that also correct hyperopia. For instance, if you're interested in colored lenses, you can find options like 'Green Cat (106)' or 'Hera STI Choco Toric' that provide vision correction while enhancing your eye color. However, not all colored lenses are available in plus power, so you'll need to check with your eye care professional or the retailer.

• Hyperopia lenses have plus power; myopia lenses have minus power.
• Toric lenses correct astigmatism in addition to hyperopia.
• Colored lenses may be available with prescription, but not all brands offer plus power.
