Unilens Vision Inc., which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, announced the launch of its new disposable C-Vue ADDvantage Multifocal for Presbyopia contact lens in silicone hydrogel material for monthly replacement. The new product incorporates Unilens’ next-generation multifocal contact lens design technology, which allows for ease of fit by providing a consistent near ADD power across all power profiles, ultimately resulting in clear vision for presbyopes at all distances. The lens is also thinner and more rounded at the edges for comfort.
“The science behind the C-Vue ADDvantage design technology effectively controls the near ADD power across the power profile, resulting in a consistent fit and reduced chair time for the eyecare professional,” says Denis Rehse, director of research and development at Unilens Vision Inc. “In addition to being easier to fit and providing consistent ADD across all power ranges, C-Vue ADDvantage contact lenses are thinner and more rounded at the edges, resulting in excellent comfort.”
The new lens for monthly replacement, which is available in a High and a Low ADD, and power ranges from +6.00 to -10.00, incorporates an aspheric design with a consistent center ADD power across all power ranges. The lenses will be sold exclusively to independent eyecare professionals. Unilens will provide eyecare professionals with an attractive, user-friendly display cabinet and trial program with a 120-Day Performance Guarantee on the lenses.
“As the number of persons with presbyopia continues to grow at a faster rate than America’s population as a whole due to demographic trends, we are pleased to be able to meet a specific growing market demand for best-of-breed, next-generation multifocal technology that continues to improve upon consistent vision at all distances for presbyopes with the launch of the new C-Vue ADDvantage Multifocal,” notes Kelly McKnight, vice-president of sales and marketing of Unilens Vision Inc. “We are very excited about the launch of this new product, which we believe will be enthusiastically received by licensed optical professionals and contact lens wearers.”
