Marietta Vision (Marietta, Ga.) recently announced the launch of the company’s new Bio Contact Lens.
The new soft contact lenses are made of a combination of hydrogel polymers that provides unsurpassed performance for dry eyes, according to the company. Bio Contact Lenses also are highly biocompatible and are a more natural alternative to other contact lens materials, the company says.
Other desirable properties of Bio Contact Lenses listed by Marietta Vision include greater surface wettability and resistance to dehydration for increased wearing time and better end-of-day wearing comfort.
The new lenses also feature advanced aspheric optics designed with wavefront technology, making them capable of reducing higher-order aberrations and producing sharper vision and better contrast sensitivity, especially at night and in other low-light conditions, the company says.
Bio Contact Lenses correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness and have a light blue handling tint. They are available only through private eye care practitioners, and are not sold online or at large chain optical stores or discount stores.
