Multifocals: Lenses spotlight

Alcon says, as the first and only water gradient multifocal contact lens, the award winning Total 1 Multifocal is an ideal choice for patients with presbyopia seeking the combination of superior breathability, exceptional comfort due to high water content at the surface, and seamless vision from near to far. The lens benefits from the company’s SmarTears technology, which promotes tear film stabilisation for long-lasting moisture and excellent contrast sensitivity, and LightStream Lens technology, which is said to assure quality and consistency for every lens.

Independent provider of precision contact lenses Mark’ennovy and the Brien Holden Vision Institute (BHVI), a world-renowned non-profit organisation for innovative vision care solutions, have teamed up to develop EDOF, a new soft contact lens for presbyopes. The monthly individually crafted lens, powered by the BHVI’s patented Extended Depth of Focus technology, is said to provide clear vision at all distances. The lens also supports comfortable adjustment, enhance the overall wearing experience. Mark’ennovy says the lens combines silicone hydrogel material with high water content and low coefficient of friction to improve comfort throughout the day, while its wide range of parameters and low elastic modulus ensure a precise fit and easy handling.
