Contact Lenses 

New Toric Option

Patients with astigmatism can also consider CooperVision’s MyDay toric daily disposable contact lenses, which are designed to optimize oxygen permeability with a lens that is only 4.4% silicone, the company says. The new lenses have a base curve of 8.6mm, a diameter of 14.5mm and are currently available in sphere powers from plano to -6.00D (0.25D steps), and -6.00D to -10.00D (0.50D steps), according to the company.

Daily Disposables

SynergEyes, through a partnership with Tangible Science, is adding daily disposable soft contact lenses to its portfolio. As part of the partnership, the lenses will also include Tangible Science’s Hydra-PEG coating, which has reduced contact lens discomfort for patients wearing gas permeable lenses, the company says. The lenses will be available later in 2018, according to SynergEyes.
