Fairport, N.Y. - CooperVision has expanded the sphere powers of its Proclear 1-Day contact lenses. A new plus sphere power range up to +6.00D allows even more patients to experience the health, convenience, and comfort of the daily disposable modality. Additionally, CooperVision is now offering Proclear 1-Day in a 30-lens revenue carton.
"CooperVision is committed to continuously evolving our portfolio of premium contact lenses, thus providing a greater selection to patients and practitioners alike," said James Gardner, director of marketing, CooperVision. "With the addition of new sphere powers and a smaller carton option for Proclear 1-Day, we have created even more opportunities for patients to experience exceptional levels of comfort and health, along with the convenience they have come to expect from daily disposable lenses."
The plus powers offer eye care practitioners more fitting options in a modality that has a patient compliance rate of 94 percent*, the highest rate of any modality. This often means that the patient is more likely to return for the next annual supply on the anniversary of the initial dispense.
In addition, Proclear 1-Day lenses allow patients to benefit from the health and convenience of a daily disposable lens without spending more. An annual supply costs approximately the same as a two-week premium silicone hydrogel lens plus solutions.
"The new 30-lens carton is ideally suited for the occasional wearer, and affords the opportunity for practitioners to move patients into a more convenient modality with outstanding health benefits and a high rate of patient compliance," Gardner added.
As part of CooperVision’s PC Hydrogel™ family of lenses, Proclear 1-Day lenses are the only recent daily disposable to introduce an entirely new lens material to the modality - one that doesn’t require additives or wetting agents. Proclear 1-Day lenses are manufactured with CooperVision-patented PC Technology™, which keeps them moist and comfortable throughout the day. Proclear 1-Day lenses are made with omafilcon A material, the only lens material with an FDA-cleared indication associated with improved comfort for contact lens wearers who experience mild discomfort or symptoms relating to dryness during lens wear.
Proclear 1-Day lenses feature aspheric front surface optics, which correct for lens and theoretical corneal aberrations, resulting in crisp, clear vision. The optimized lens design and handling tint allow for easy lens insertion and removal, while the patented molded round edge reduces conjunctival interaction, resulting in continuous wearing comfort. Proclear 1-Day lenses are also as healthy as they are comfortable because they are replaced every day, reducing the time for deposits like proteins and allergens to build up on the lenses.
In addition to the new sphere power ranges, Proclear 1-Day lenses have a center thickness of 0.09mm at -3.00D, a Dk/t of 36.6, a 60 percent water content, an 8.7mm base curve, and a 14.2mm diameter.
