Bausch and Lomb has completed a national roadshow for its new daily disposable multifocal contact lens, describing it as “the most complete daily disposable multifocal lens on the market”.
At the first of nine events, Bausch and Lomb National Professional Services Manager Simon Hanna told a packed audience in Sydney that the lens, with its three-zone progressive design, had been a “long time coming”.
The lens was designed to address the needs of ageing eyes, with Advanced MoistureSeal and ComfortFeel technology, and 3-Zone Progressive Design.
“On one side you have the Advanced MoistureSeal increasing the moisture and then retaining that moisture for 16 hours. On the other side, you’re using eye health ingredients (in the ComfortFeel technology) that are supporting patients that are starting to have issues with their eyes.”
Mr Hanna said the 3-Zone Progressive Design ensures the multifocal contact lens is “custom designed for (a) patient’s age, pupil size, and refraction”.
“Now of course, above and beyond these three technologies, what underpins these contact lenses… are these staple items that we have that allow us to call this lens the most complete lens with a complete design offering: High oxygen, low modulus, easy handling and a UV blocker… you get everything in the one contact lens,” Mr Hanna said.
He said despite the advanced technology in the lens, 87% of patients were “successfully fit in one visit” with the successful fitting rate rising to 99% after a second visit.
