PRESS RELEASE
BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Bausch + Lomb, a leading global eye health company, today announced its
Biotrue
® ONEday for Presbyopia (nesofilcon A) contact lenses are now available in an expanded power range.
Since the initial launch of
Biotrue
ONEday for Presbyopia in June 2014, it has been available in low add powers between +3.00D and -6.00D (0.25D steps). The expansion now includes +6.00D to -9.00D (0.25D steps), helping to make
Biotrue
ONEday for Presbyopia contact lenses available to more multi-focal patients throughout the most common power ranges.
The
Biotrue
ONEday for Presbyopia contact lenses combine the breakthrough bio-inspired material
HyperGel
™ of
Biotrue
ONEday contact lenses, with Bausch + Lomb’s
3-Zone Progressive
™ optical design used in
PureVision
®2 multi-focal contact lenses for Presbyopia, and are the first daily disposable multifocal contact lens from the
Biotrue
® ONEday family of products.
“I’m pleased to have the
Biotrue
ONEday for Presbyopia contact lenses in the expanded low add power ranges, so I can provide more of my patients a daily disposable contact lens option with advanced multi-focal technology,” said David Geffen, O.D., from La Jolla, Ca. “I’ve found the
Biotrue
ONEday for Presbyopia contact lenses to be very easy-to-fit and have helped many of my presbyopic patients feel very satisfied in both the overall fit and comfort level they experience throughout the day. My patients are also enjoying that they can see at all distances with a lens that matches the moisture level found in their eyes.”
Featuring a next generation
3-Zone Progressive
design, along with bio-inspired
HyperGel
material, the new lens provides comfortable vision throughout the day, and exceptional vision across near, intermediate and distance. The bio-inspired
HyperGel
material is designed to work like the eye by matching the cornea’s water content and mimicking the lipid layer by using a surfactant-enriched lens surface to retain moisture and shape throughout the day.
Additional high add powers from +6.00D to -9.00D (0.25D steps) are expected later this year.
