It is seen more commonly in men and is associated with sleep disorders in majority of these people. In others, this occurs in isolation and is not related to any disorder. Why snoring occurs When the flow of air through the upper airway gets obstructed, it results is increased resistance to flow. This causes vibration along the passage which causes production of sound. The obstruction can exist due to various reasons described below.
Are contact lenses safe? A contact lenses are small lenses which are placed directly on the surface of an eye so as to correct vision. Contacts have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their cosmetic properties. Though they are very useful, they should be worn carefully as per the instructions for use.

Since that time technology has advanced and several different varieties of lenses are now produced. The basic requirement for their success is to overcome the effect on oxygen supply to the cornea from wearing an occlusive lens. There are several types of contact lenses which can be grouped into two major categories. Types of contact lenses Rigid or hard lenses – they are made of polymethylmethacrylate (plastic material). They are not permeable to gases or liquids. They cannot be worn continuously because the cornea becomes h...
