“SEED 1dayPure moisture” is a disposable contact lens that has evolved in regards to the Secrets of “Moisture Retention”.
Every pair of SEED PURE series contact lenses is made from original SIB material. “SIB” stands for SEED Ionic Bond, and ensures biocompatibility. Zwitterionic “SIB” material contains both positive and negative ions, attracts moisture more firmly. Thus, the ration of bonding water in “SIB” is higher than in other anionic high water contact lenses. Therefore, even if overall water content is equal to conventional anionic lenses, “Seed 1dayPure Moisture” is able to prevent evaporation more effectively.

What are contact lenses and how do I choose them?
1What are contact lenses?
Contact lenses are placed directly on the surface of your eye to correct your
vision. They can correct short-sightedness (myopia) and long-sightedness
(hyperopia). They can also correct astigmatism and age-related long-sightedness
(presbyopia).
Contact lenses are a great choice for anyone wants to switch between lenses
and glasses frequently.
2What are contact lenses made of?
Most soft lenses are made out of a material known as Hydrogel, a water
absorbing polymer that are breathable and uses the water content to transmit
oxygen to the eye through the lens keeping your eyes healthy and feeling fresh.
3Type of contact lenses?
There are different types of contact lenses available to suit your individual vision and lifestyle needs.
1day disposable contact lenses or daily disposable contact lenses are designed to be worn for one day and then thrown away. 1day disposable contact lenses are great for people who are looking for contact lenses that are easy to maintain without having to worry about cleaning them. Wearing a fresh pair of lenses every day is the most hygienic way of wearing contact lenses as there is less time for dirt and allergens to build up on the surface and cause irritation.
Reusable contact lenses are contact lenses you wear every day for up to a fortnight, a month or a year. Just clean them and leave them in disinfecting solution before you go to bed. Then put them back in first thing in the morning.
Consult your Eye Care Practitioner/Optometrist to help you choose the right type of contact lens.
Busting the 5 Contact Lens Myths
1I can’t wear contact lenses because it is uncomfortable and makes my eye dry.
Contact lenses are comfortable and with new lens material available it will not make your eyes feel dry after wearing contact lenses. Try Seed 1dayPure Series of contact lenses, it is created to allow contact lens wearer to realize the comfort of wearing a contact lens again.
2I can’t wear contact lenses because I have astigmatism.
People with astigmatism can now wear contact lenses, thanks to our unique toric lens design which helps to provide a stable and comfortable lens fit.
3I can’t wear contact lenses because I am now over 40 years old.
Advancing age is no longer the barrier to successful contact lens wear. With Seed 1dayPure Multistage contact lens, a contact lens developed for presbyopia patients you do not have to go through the hassles of switching between reading glasses and regular glasses for distant vision.
4I have high minus powers of -16.00 diopters and there is no readily available disposable contact lens for me to wear.
High minus power should not stop you from wearing contact lenses, Seed 1dayPure Moisture now comes in powers up to -16.00 diopters, you can continue to have the freedom of movement to live an active lifestyle.
5Contact lens can cause eye problems.
If you follow your eye care practitioner's instructions regarding how to care for your lenses and follow proper care routines wearing contact lenses are very safe.
What are Dk and Dk/t and why are they important to your eyes?
1Dk: Oxygen Permeability
Contact lens is the barrier which reduces the amount of oxygen reaching the cornea. The value of oxygen permeability is the indicator for measuring this barrier: higher value indicates that more oxygen can reach the cornea. "Oxygen Permeability" is the value for the diffusivity (D) of the oxygen goes through the lens times the solubility (k). Therefore, the oxygen permeability is determined by the "material" of the lens, and has nothing to do with its shape or curve design.
2Dk/t: Oxygen Transmissibility
Compared to oxygen permeability, oxygen transmissibility takes the value "t" (the lens' thickness) into consideration; that is, oxygen transmissibility is equally related to the thickness, material, and geometric design of the lens. The value of its thickness is the harmonic mean of the measurements of its thinnest central optic zone. But since the lens with different power has different thickness, we use -3.00 D as the standard reference. (The central optic zone's thickness of soft contact lenses falls between 0.07~0.10mm)
Ideally, if the lens is designed to be very thin, its oxygen transmissibility can be greatly elevated even the material has low oxygen permeability. However, if considering the factors such as optical property, physical property, yield rate and usability, more problems would occur if the lens is too thin.
Regardless of high water content, SEED 1dayPure Moisture and Multistage excels in morphological stability. Thus, the thickness of the lens centre is 0.07mm (-3.00D), which is the thinnest class among daily disposable high water content contact lenses. Due to high water content and the thin lens design, the oxygen transmissibility becomes 42.9. This value is high enough to transmit adequate oxygen, which is sufficient for human eyes.
The Key to Long-Lasting Moisture for Contact Lenses
1Keys to Long-Lasting Moisture
The key to long-lasting moisture for contact lenses is retaining water in the lens and reducing evaporation.
Most of the high water content lenses available are soft and comfortable, however, high water content lenses tend to absorb even more tears when water in the lenses vaporizes, resulting in eye dryness.
Therefore, emphasizing the characteristic of retaining water whilst reducing evaporation when choosing contact lenses is the key to maintain the lens' moisture for a longer time. It effectively reduces the rate of water lost in the lens, elevating the water-retaining effect, and ensures the lenses are moist.
