Contact Lenses & Care

Healthy Eyes

Like all patients, toric lens wearers expect long wearing times and white, healthy-looking eyes.

  • 54% of lens wearers report needing to wear their lenses longer than 15 hours a day4.

  • Nearly half of all patients give “better appearance” as their main reason for trying contacts–but nearly a third of current wearers say their lenses make their eyes red and irritated4.

Even satisfied lens wearers want to know when there’s something better for them.

  • 90% of patients are interested in discussing new innovations in contact lenses with you5.
  • 80% of patients feel better about their eye care professional once informed about new innovations5.

 

Designed For Exceptional Health

Patented AerGel™ silicone hydrogel material helps your astigmatic patients experience the benefits of excellent ocular health.

  • The long wearing times your patients’ lives demand.
  • Healthy, white eyes.
  • Natural level of oxygen transmission to the cornea.
  • Made from the same material as PureVision® lenses.

And with a Dk/t of 91 (Edge corrected at -3.00D), PureVision Toric lenses:

  • Significantly reduce grade 2 or higher hypoxia-related events, when compared to their previous toric lenses2.
  • Achieve a 53% reduction in corneal neovascularization when compared to previous lenses2.


2 Results from a clinical evaluation conducted at 117 sites in 8 countries in which 900 astigmatic patients wearing spectacles (n=119), spherical contact lenses, or toric contact lenses (n=629) were fitted with PureVision Toric lenses. After using the PureVision Toric lenses for 1 month, patients completed a forced choice questionnaire in which they chose product preferences for specific attributes. Practitioners provided lens fit, slit lamp evaluations, and product performance rating information at each visit.
3 Results from an independent 2005 survey of 177 eye care professionals performed by Image Engineering, Inc.
4 Results from the 2005 Gallup study of the contact lens market.
5 Results from a 2005 independent survey of 300 current contact lens wearers conducted by SHC & Associates.
6 Results from a series of overnight corneal swelling clinical studies of adapted daily wear soft lens patients. For these investigations, patients wore conventional hydrogel lenses (Dk/t ranged from 24 to 40), 100% silicone elastomer lenses (Dk/t > 200), PureVision lenses, or no lens. A -3.00D lens was used for the overnight corneal swelling lens comparisons. Corneal swelling measurements were made following closed eye conditions for approximately 8 hours.
