SAFILENS LAUNCHES OPEN 30 PRESBYO,
MONTHLY LENS FOR PRESBYOPIA
Safilens has announced the launch of its Open 30
Presbyo, a new monthly silicone-hydrogel lens for
presbyopia.
The new monthly, like its predecessor fusion 1day
presbyo daily, uses an innovative afocal design patented by Safilens which is a veritable revolution in
contact lenses for presbyopia: the lens is neither
multi-focal nor progressive but features a small
hyper-refractive central area that keeps paraxial
optical rays out of the retinal image.
The study of this new concept has been the
focus of Safilens R&D department for the past
three years, and its use and benefits are currently
being studied in team with universities.
An afocal lens increases the depth of field and
consequently the width of the accommodation
range. Furthermore, unlike a multi-focal lens which
requires a complex cerebro-ocular adaptation
process, no adaptation time is needed, since simultaneous vision is not involved in the process.
The LacriMass™ design allows for non-uniform
distribution of the tear film on the outer surface
of the lens, increasing its thickness in the peripheral
areas, where the major causes of eyestrain arise.
The lens also benefits from the revolutionary
fusiontechnology™: the combined action of hyaluronic acid and TSP (Tamarind Seeds Polysaccharide)
normalizes and stabilizes the physiological relationship
between the tear film and the surface of the eye,
providing the wearer with natural, lasting comfort.
The result is a lens with extraordinary performance
features: the afocal design guarantees stable, clear
and well-defined images under any light condition.
Unlike multi-focal lenses in fact, an afocal lens uses
more than 90% of the light to put an image into
focus and is not influenced by poor lighting or the
dimension of the pupil.
Last, an afocal lens does not have any addition areas
and therefore does not cause any aberrations that are
typical with multi-focal lenses.
Simply put, Safilens-patented afocal design truly
offers limitless vision without compromises!
Open 30 Presbyo is available with an 8.70 mm. ba ͔)
