Coopervision updates contact lens app with multifocal capability

CooperVision’s app-based contact lens tool for presbyopic patients, OptiExpert, has been expanded with the addition of a multifocal calculator.

Using the app, practitioners can input their patients’ prescription to view a list of all suitable CooperVision multifocal lenses for comparison. Users enter their patient’s sphere and ADD powers, cyl, and select the dominant eye for the app to generate suitable product recommendations. Covering both daily disposable and monthly reusable contact lenses, suggestions include the CooperVision product families, Biofinity, clariti and Proclear.

Commenting on the new feature, senior professional services consultant Andrew Symons said: ‘We’re delighted to be able to expand our existing app in a new and engaging way that benefits both practitioners and patients. We understand that fitting multifocal lenses can sometimes be tricky and require additional chair time, and therefore wanted to assist ECPs as much as possible in making this as straightforward as possible.
