It depends entirely on you and your eyes. During an eye exam an eye care specialist assesses your eyes and looks at the strength and shape of your eye, among other things. You personal situation is also evaluated: When do you want to use them? How often? In what work environment? Based on all the measurements, you can choose the best lenses together with the specialist. Visit your nearest optician for an eye exam or consultation.

Features of DreamLite® Zoom:
- No need for reading glasses during the day
- Safe and fully reversible correction
- A good alternative to laser treatment
The big difference with “standard” multifocal lenses is that you don’t have to put DreamLite® Zoom night lenses in during the day. Ideal for tennis, swimming and excursions; in short, for an active lifestyle. DreamLite® can also be a solution if you are a lens wearer who is prone to dry or irritated eyes, especially in certain conditions such as lots of computer work, air conditioning and heating. By being able to wear lenses not during the day but at night, your eyes get more rest. DreamLite® night lenses are only suitable for people with myopia, or nearsightedness. This means you have a minus strength. DreamLite® has a range of -0.75D to -5.00D. In addition, a cylinder can be corrected to as much as -2.50.
As you get older your near vision gets worse. This is called presbyopia and happens because the elasticity of the eye lens decreases with age. The eye is therefore unable to focus as well, which necessitates a reading addition to correct this. The principle of DreamLite® Zoom is the same as for the standard DreamLite® night lens: at night before going to bed you put the lenses in, and in the morning when you get up you take them out again. It’s simply a different way of looking at sharp vision. Throughout the night the lens imperceptibly corrects your eye defect, including the reading addition. This can be as much as a +1.50D reading addition. The process is 100% reversible: if you want to stop using DreamLite® for any reason, your eyes will return to their original form within a few days. A great alternative to laser treatment, which is much more invasive and permanent.
DreamLite® Zoom night lenses are made of a high oxygen permeable material and last as long as a year. We recommend having these lenses replaced every year.
Wearing contact lenses carries a potential risk of infection. Therefore, you should always follow the advice of the specialist and handle lenses correctly. For example, never clean lenses with water or put them in if your eyes are irritated. See the manual for all information on how to properly clean, store and use lenses. The manual can be obtained from your eye care specialist. The specialist works according to a protocol and makes sure you are properly informed and your eyes are checked regularly. To confirm that both parties will follow the safety instructions, the specialist will ask you to sign a lens agreement.
Before using your ortho-k lenses, always read the package insert that is provided by your contact lens specialist.
Solution advice: use a solution suitable for rigid lens materials with an active cleaner and optimal disinfection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which contact lens is best for my eyes?
How do I clean my lenses?
It is important to clean your contact lenses daily. The moment you remove your lenses, it is important to clean, rinse and disinfect them with the recommended lens solution as prescribed or advised by your contact lens specialist. Contact lens cases should also be emptied, cleaned and rinsed daily, as they can be a source of bacterial growth. Importantly, lenses, lens cases and other lens-related products should not come into contact with (tap) water because of the increased risk of microbial keratitis.What should I look for in lenses for my child?
Children can wear lenses as young as 8 years old on average. (1) Before a child can start wearing lenses, the eye care specialist explains what it means to wear the lenses and the responsibilities involved for the child, such as in the area of hygiene.
