I compete at European level at wake-boarding and therefore I am in the water a lot. My old contacts would move around, get very dry and often come out. Wearing...
1. "...they are a brilliant ALTERNATIVE TO EYE LASER SURGERY if you don't want to take the risk. Once you have had laser surgery it is all done and dusted" says Darren With i-GO OVC, the risks are no more than with traditional daytime contact lenses.
2. SOLVES DRY EYE - A downside of daytime contact lens wear is dry tired eyes at the end of the day. Staring at computer screens and working in air-conditioned offices are the biggest culprits. This is not a problem with i-GO OVC as you are not wearing lenses during the day.
3. SEE 24/7 - When you remove your daytime contact lenses or glasses, simple things like showering and reading the alarm clock are a problem. The great thing about i-GO OVC is that you have 20:20 vision whilst wearing them AND when you take them out!
4. IMPROVES YOUR SPORTING CHANCES - Wearing glasses is a major hindrance in most sports and contact lenses should not be worn for any water-based activities. i-GO OVC is a great way to boost performance in your chosen sport - "there is nothing better than natural vision" says Chris Bennet (Editor of The Optician, competitive triathlete and optometrist).
5. READING FOR THE OVER 40s - it is a bit of a wake up call when after years of wearing daytime lenses you start to also need glasses for reading. i-GO OVC lens wearers have the option to move to MONOVISION - wearing one i-GO OVC lens at night to correct their distance vision and using the uncorrected eye to read. Hey presto - feel 10 years younger! read Malcolm's story
6. A HEALTHY OPTION - how often have you been warned by your optician about wearing daytime contact lenses for too long ? Do you switch to glasses at the weekend "to give your eyes a rest"? i-GO OVC lenses are only worn for 6-8 hours while sleeping (about half the time of daytime lenses), so your eyes get plenty of oxygen throughout the day, keeping them healthy and fresh. Most importantly, i-GO OVC lenses are specially designed to sleep in, so the old adage of "don't sleep in your lenses" doesn't apply.
7. COST EFFECTIVE- from £40 per month (i-GO is a little more expensive than premium contact lenses but then I-GO is a unique treatment lens which gives you so much more - natural vision. I-GO can actually work out cheaper in the long run. You don't need spare glasses, prescription sunglasses or special sports goggles anymore. And while eye laser clinics claim to offer surgery at £395 an eye, the reality is that the most up to date treatments cost upwards of £1,400 per eye. [which may need to be repeated ]
8. IT'S REVERSIBLE - but once you appreciate the overwhelming benefits of natural daytime vision, you wont want to go back. But if you did, I-GO is totally reversible.
9. CONVENIENCE- "I like the way I take the lenses out in the morning and forget about them for the rest of the day ‘
10. A 'CURE' FOR SHORTSIGHTEDNESS" - Children of myopic parents are more likely to develop shortsightedness. New research indicates that if children start overnight vision correction at its onset, the lenses can arrest its development and stop shortsightedness progressing. The SMART STUDY, a five year research project has been set up to investigate this area further.
