Tangible Science Introduces Lens Care System for Custom Contact Lenses Coated with Tangible Hydra-PEG
January 24, 2019
New Products Designed to Ensure Unique Coating Prevents Deposits,
Fogging and Patient Discomfort for the Prescribed Life of Lenses
LAS VEGAS & MENLO PARK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tangible™
Science, LLC, an innovator creating a dramatically better contact
lens experience for patients and eye care practices, will be unveiling
at the Global Specialty Lens Symposium this week its complete system of
products designed to ensure that custom contact lenses coated with Tangible™
Hydra-PEG™ offer benefit for the prescribed life of the lenses.
Tangible Hydra-PEG is a unique polymer coating permanently bonded to
custom contact lenses that minimizes deposits and lens fogging, and
improves wettability, lens surface water retention, lubricity and
patient comfort. As a result, eye care practices can benefit from fewer
refits, higher patient satisfaction and more available staff time.
Because a variety of factors can affect the durability of the coating,
including a patient’s tear film composition, use of incompatible
cleaners, vigorous cleaning, tap water and dry storage, the company is
adding two new products to its portfolio in 2019 – Tangible™ Clean and
Tangible™ Boost.
Tangible
Clean is a daily multi-purpose cleaning and disinfecting solution
designed to protect the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating on custom contact
lenses, while Tangible
Boost is a monthly conditioning solution that restores the Tangible
Hydra-PEG coating and its benefits.
All three products will be available for demonstrations at the company’s
GSLS booth #324. Tangible Clean will be available in early 2019.
Tangible Boost will be available later in the year, pending FDA
clearance.
New data examining the use of Tangible Hydra-PEG coated scleral lenses
compared to uncoated scleral lenses for dry eye sufferers will be shared
on Saturday, January 26 from 9:00-10:00am PST in a presentation entitled
“A Surface Treatment Solution for Scleral Lens Wearers with Dry Eye” by
Chandra Mickels, OD, of Nova Southeastern University College of
Optometry at the GSLS symposium. The talk will take place in the General
Session in the Main Conference Room. The data will compare coated and
un-coated scleral lenses based on lens comfort, dry eye symptoms, ocular
surface, comfortable lens wearing time and fogging.
