Safilens uses BCLA conference for UK launch of one day lens for presbyopia

This year’s BLCA Conference will see the official launch of the Safilens fusion 1day presbyo, its offering in the daily contact lenses for presbyopia based on the firm’s Fusion technology.

Safilens said Fusion 1day presbyo offers exceptional depth of field and clear distance, intermediate and close-up vision, even for the most demanding of shortsighted people.

Fusion technology incorporates a Tamarind-Seed Polysaccharide (TSP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) co-polymer in the contact lens. Safilens said this enhances the well-known properties of TSP and HA in hydrating, lubricating and protecting the surface of the eye from the mechanical stress caused by contact lenses, thereby promoting the re-growth of epithelial microvilli.
