Clariti 1 day: A continuous improvement story

It is clear from evidence stretching back more than 20 years that the ability of silicone hydrogel (SiHy) materials to deliver oxygen to the cornea has largely eliminated hypoxic contact lens (CL) complications.^1-4 Replacing lenses every day reduces or removes many of the risk factors associated with reuse of CLs, resulting in the lowest incidence of corneal infiltrative events compared to other soft lens replacement schedules.^5-7 The combination of these material and modality attributes have been available, in the form of daily disposable (DD) SiHys, for more than ten years. Their use continues to grow, with the most recent International Contact Lens Prescribing report finding SiHy materials represent an overall average of 63% of soft lens DD fits from the countries involved in the survey.⁸
