Product: MyDay toric contact lenses
Top Line: CooperVision has announced expanded prescription options for MyDay toric. Starting July 1 in the U.S., MyDay lenses will be available in around-the-clock axes and 0.25D steps in plus powers.
Close Up: With these additional parameters, MyDay toric now has the most prescription options of any 1-day lens, and covers 95 percent of Biofinity toric prescriptions—providing eyecare professionals the opportunity to fit an even greater number of patients with astigmatism in a premium silicone hydrogel 1-day lens.
“CooperVision has the most prescribed toric contact lens portfolio in the U.S. and we are known around the world for our toric contact lens innovation and performance. The addition of new MyDay toric prescription options expands our commitment to providing a wide range of stable fit, comfortable silicone hydrogel 1-day toric options for patients with astigmatism,” said Michele Andrews, vice president, professional and government affairs, North America, CooperVision. “And for practitioners who know and love Biofinity toric, they have the flexibility to offer their patients those ocular benefits replicated in a 1-day lens—it’s the features of one optic design with two options.”
To help streamline the fitting process and save valuable chair time, CooperVision also offers the OptiExpert™ fitting app. This app, which makes toric lens fitting easy, is designed to speed up contact lens selection, saving time on toric and multifocal fittings and making the patient’s experience better than ever. OptiExpert is available on the App Store, Google Play and CooperVision website.
Vital Stats: CooperVision’s MyDay toric lenses combine the proven optic design features of Biofinity toric with the premium silicone hydrogel 1-day material of MyDay. This revered toric technology inherent in Biofinity toric and MyDay toric is called Optimized Toric Lens Geometry, and it provides uniform horizontal ISO thickness, an optimized ballast band design, a large toric optic zone, and a smooth, continuous surface to make it an easy-to-fit, stable toric lens. In addition, the MyDay family of lenses is made with Aquaform Technology, which locks moisture into the lens and keeps it soft for a comfortable lens-wearing experience. This natural wettability can help wearers’ eyes feel less dry without coatings or surface treatments. And while the lens provides optimal comfort, it remains strong enough to ensure exceptional handling. MyDay toric’s built-in UV blocker filters 85 percent of UVA and 96 percent of UVB rays, according to CooperVision. https://coopervision.com/practitioner/toric
