Delivery Tyro is the new daily contact lens by Safilens that releases tyrosine, an amino acid designed to normalise ocular development by influencing the presence of dopamine.
It has been created as a myopia management option for young contact lens wearers by aiding prevention through the supply of dopamine, which supports cell metabolism.
Daniele Bazzocchi, Safilens general manager, said: ‘As manufacturers of contact lenses, we are well aware of the importance of these medical devices in the lives of users who wear them for many hours a day, many days a week and many years in their lifetime.
‘In light of this, we took an entirely different approach to the redesign of the contact lens, not only as a way of correcting a vision defect but also as an authentic aid to the wellbeing and physiology of the eye.’
