Contact lens design and innovation

Choose your day

Alcon has unveiled a new one-week replacement contact lens, Precision 7.

The contact lens features the Activ-Flo System, which brings together a new silicone hydrogel material with a moisturising agent bound into the lens, and proprietary replenishing agent released during the seven days of wear.

A toric version of the contact lens has also been launched at the same time for astigmatic wearers.

Rollout for astigmatic presbyopes

Johnson & Johnson has announced the UK rollout of the Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism, which it describes as the first and only daily disposable multifocal toric lens for astigmatic presbyopes.

The lens combines four technologies including Eyelid Stabilised Design to provide symmetrical lens thickness on each side to allow the lens to naturally realign with blinking, and Pupil Optimised Design for crisp vision at all distances.

The OptiBlue Light Filter offers blue-violet light filtering, plus class 1 UV protection. Finally, TearStable Technology optimises wetting agent distribution to prolong tear-film stability, the company said.
