If you’re noticing that close-up objects like your smartphone screen are appearing blurry, then you may be developing presbyopia. This is an entirely natural process that affects most people’s vision as they enter their 40s. Many people reach for reading glasses when this happens but there are other options.
Aquaform® Technology
You’ve probably seen the term Aquaform® Technology on our products and wondered exactly what that means. It’s not just one thing but a combination of material technologies resulting in a uniquely comfortable and high-performance lens only available through CooperVision.
The Aquaform® lens material itself has many features that work together to create an optimal lens-wearing experience.
For instance, when a lens doesn't breathe properly, the tiny red veins in the white part of the eye become more visible as they reach for more oxygen much like a plant in a shadow reaches its branches towards the sunlight. The material in Aquaform® Technology lenses has high oxygen transmissibility for increased breathability to keep your eyes healthy and white.
Another feature is what’s called a low modulus. The modulus is the degree of a contact lens’ flexibility, and the lower the modulus, the more soft and flexible the lens.
The molecular structure of Aquaform® Technology lens material provides not only uniform wettability creating a smooth lens surface but also natural wettability. Other lenses can come with artificial coatings and wetting agents that dissipate over time. The silicone macromers in Aquaform® Technology lenses lock water into the lens keeping them moist even after periods of extended wear.
In addition to material, lens shape has much to do with the quality of the lens-wearing experience. Aquaform® Technology lenses feature an optimized rounded-edge design that reduces conjunctival interaction. In other words, it keeps the lens from rubbing too much on the inside of the eyelid providing an increased level of comfort.
For those who have trouble seeing both near and far, CooperVision’s multifocal contact lenses offer a new level of vision quality thanks to Balanced Progressive Technology™.
Introducing a unique and innovative 3-add multifocal system in a 1-day lens. Unlike most one-day multifocal systems which rely on similar optical designs across each add power, just strengthening the power profile to increase reading support, the CooperVision® Binocular Progressive System™ utilises different lens designs to optimise vision for all levels of presbyopia.
Designed to help newly presbyopic patients adapt to multifocal contact lens wear and allow patients to enjoy clear vision as their presbyopia advances.
| Lens specifications and technical information | |
| Corrects | Presbyopia, nearsightedness and farsightedness: In Presbyopia, close objects such as reading, PC and mobile phone screens appear out of focus. In nearsightedness, close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred; in farsightedness, distant objects are usually seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus. |
| Replacement Schedule | Daily. Lenses are to be discarded and replaced with a new lens daily. |
| UV Protection | Yes, these lenses provide 85% UVA/96% UVB protection. While beneficial, UV-absorbing contact lenses are not substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear, such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses, as they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed by your eye care practitioner. |
| Wettability | Smart Silicone™ delivers oxygen to your eyes much more efficiently than other daily disposable brands, while using less silicone.* That’s important because less silicone allows more room in the lens for built-in channels of moisture and a naturally water-loving lens material that keeps your eyes feeling moist. |
