CooperVision has announced its latest parameter expansion for MyDay daily disposable toric contact lenses, increasing its current range by nearly 70% to 4,392 prescription options.
With the additional options, MyDay toric now matches the range of Biofinity toric to enable optometrists to fit the vast majority of their astigmatic patients with a silicone hydrogel 1-day lens.
The full range became available across Australia and New Zealand from 20 March.
CooperVision professional services manager Mr Joe Tanner said the expanded range resolves previous limitations.
“We appreciate that optometrists want to be able to prescribe the best lens for each patient and not be limited by restrictions in the available parameters. For years, Biofinity toric has set the standard for toric contact lenses, and optometrists have found tremendous utility from its comprehensive parameter range.
“This same range is now available with MyDay toric, ending the need for practitioners to prescribe a monthly lens when a daily disposable may be preferred,” he said.
MyDay toric will be available in the following prescription options:
CooperVision said its MyDay toric lenses combine the proven design features of Biofinity toric with the premium silicone hydrogel 1-day material of MyDay.
“Our outstanding toric technology, Optimised Toric Lens Geometry, provides uniform horizontal iso-thickness, a large toric optic zone, a smooth, continuous ballast and an optimised ballast toric design for a predictable, stable and comfortable fit,” the company said.
“In addition, the MyDay family of lenses features Aquaform Technology, which provides a unique combination of high oxygen permeability, a naturally wettable material, and optimum modulus for increased breathability and moisture in a soft, flexible lens.”
The material and design also provide for easy lens handling and there is a UV inhibitor which filters 86% of UVA and 97% of UVB rays, according to CooperVision.
To help streamline the fitting process and minimise chair time, CooperVision also offers the OptiExpert fitting app. The easy-to-use app includes a calculator which determines the recommended diagnostic lenses. A desktop version is also available.
