Product Information

Boston ES contact lenses are made specifically to meet the needs of your prescription and comfortably fit your eyes. Made from a patented material that allows your eyes to breathe, these rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses offer unparalleled fit, precise vision, and outstanding comfort. They’re made in a wide range of parameters and can be custom-made to perfectly fit your eyes.

Features & Benefits

Boston ES contacts are RGP lenses that can be worn daily for up to a year. To ensure the durability of these contacts, remove, clean, and disinfect them nightly.

Unlike soft lenses that take a one-size-fits-all approach, RGP lenses are made to order. As such, each Boston ES lens comfortably fits the natural shape of your eye. When lenses fit properly, they’re less likely to shift and cause vision disturbances.

Because Boston ES contacts are made for each patient, these lenses can address all kinds of refractive errors, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (blurred near vision), and astigmatism (blurred near and distance vision).

These RGP lenses are also more resistant to protein and deposit buildup than their soft lens counterparts. This is because they’re made of enflufocon A, a fluorosilicone acrylate material with a water content of <1% by weight. Enflufocon A is highly breathable, meaning it allows high levels of oxygen to pass through the lens and into the eye to keep it white, clear, and healthy.

Like most RGP lenses, Boston ES contacts also retain their shape when you blink. This is why Boston ES contacts and other RGP lenses provide sharper vision than soft, pliable lenses made of hydrogel and silicone hydrogel. Moreover, Boston ES contacts help protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Additionally, Boston ES contacts come with a light blue tint so you can easily spot them in your contact lens case.

Boston ES contacts are less expensive in the long run due to their infrequent replacement schedule.

Who They're For

Boston ES contact lenses are the best choice for people who are very discerning and are willing to go through a period of adaptation to contact lens wear.

Like other RGP lenses, Boston ES contacts are also a good choice for some people with astigmatism for whom soft contacts don’t produce the desired visual acuity. They’re also great for people with keratoconus, a progressive eye disease that may eventually result in loss of vision.

RGP lenses like Boston ES are also suited for people who need contact lenses after refractive surgery.

How To Put In Boston ES Lenses

Boston ES contacts are RGP lenses and as such, you should follow the standard procedure for this type of lens. Wash and dry your hands before touching the contacts or your eyes. Scoop your first lens out of the case with the index finger of your dominant hand and rinse it with a rinse it with a multipurpose solution. Inspect the lens for any tears or debris. Using the middle finger of your dominant hand, pull down your lower eyelid. If necessary, use the middle finger of your non-dominant hand to pull your upper eyelid. Stare straight ahead and gently place the lens on your eye. Blink a few times to center the lens. Repeat this with the other lens. Don’t panic if the lens doesn’t feel comfortable as soon as you put it in. RGP contacts typically take longer to get used to wearing than soft lenses, but regular use is key for comfort.

Very Comfortable Lenses

I purchased 2 sets of prescription lenses and have alternately worm them along with the previous pair I ordered from Lens.Com. I wanted to have spare sets of lenses, and it was very simple to reorder them. Lens.com sent me an email to remind me that I could reorder before the prescription expired, which I did. I'm pleased with the ease and convenience of ordering through Lens.com
