Features:
Silicon acrylate, stable, durable material, of oxygen permeability 33 or 42 or 65 [DK] (ISO) @ 35°C (barrers). For more information about the material click here (RGP Material Properties).
High levels of comfort is reached due to excellent wet-ability and lens design.
Nil or negligible allergy complaints compared to other lens types.
Lens design:
Lens posterior surface is tri-curved (C3) with central BOZR and 2 peripheral curves for the standard and keratoconus trial sets design.
Lens posterior surface is 4 curved (C4) with central BOZR and 3 peripheral curves for the Large Diameter (11.50mm) trial set design.
Average center thickness is 0.13 mm.
Lens front surface is lenticulated to minimize mass.
Fitting characteristics:
Recommended method of fitting necessitates the use of initial trial lens with BOZR equal to or slightly steeper than the flattest K reading (0.05 mm).
Lens fitting is evaluated by fluorescein examination after 15 minutes of wearing the trial lens.
Keratoconus cases require the experience of ophthalmologist to choose the initial trial lens( No K reading is available)
Who should wear it:
Patients suffering allergy from soft lenses and/or soft lenses solutions.
Patients suffering from various degrees of keratoconus cornea.
Patients with astigmatic error up to 3.5 dpt.
The large diameter (Trial Set No. 4) are mostly recommended for cases of oval keratoconus, LASIK induced ectasia and post graft.
