Set to be one of its biggest years to-date, the eighth edition of 100% Optical will take place from 23 – 25 April at ExCeL London. To give readers an idea of the key themes set to come out of the event, OT reached out to sponsors for their insights. The full series, along with further 100% Optical articles can be found here.
We will be spotlighting our Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with HydraLuxe Technology. Acuvue Oasys 1-Day Contact Lenses with HydraLuxe Technology contain pure PVP, a wetting agent that is similar to parts of our naturally occurring tears. It is permanently bound at the surface and throughout the matrix of the lens. This allows mucins to easily spread across all layers of the tear film, helping to promote a smooth and lubricious refractive surface. In fact, Acuvue Oasys 1-Day’s coefficient of friction is so low, that it is comparable to the naked eye. This lens is grounded in patients’ experiences and lifestyles and is available for both spherical and astigmatic patients.
As part of this mission to fulfil unmet patient needs, our Acuvue 21 Day Challenge is designed to ensure that new wearers get the most out of their lenses. We know that patients are more likely to become long term contact lens wearers if they can be guided and helped during the first few weeks of their journey, which is something that the initiative aims to address.
