Linking speciality contact lenses

Speciality contact lenses are having a resurgence as practitioners and patients cotton on to the fact that they provide optical solutions for those who fall outside the scope of off-the-peg disposable lenses but Contamac wants to speed that process up.

For patients with unusual prescriptions, corneal irregularities and those requiring ortho-k or tailor-made lenses the dream of spectacle-free sight is a reality. For practitioners speciality lenses open up a lucrative stream of business but matching the patient to the product does not always happen as smoothly as it might.

A world-leading British firm that sits at the heart of many such products is Contamac and it has launched a website, www.specialitysight.com, to act as an information and education tool for practitioners and their patients. It also speaks to its customer, the lens manufacturers.
