Two New CL Products From Vistakon
VISTAKON ANNOUNCES ACUVUE ADVANCE SILICON HYDROGEL daily wear contact lenses for astigmatism in a full range of parameters. These lenses are now available in 2,190 different parameters including plano to -6 D in 0.25-D steps (Cylinders: 0.75, -1.25, -1.75; Axis: 10º to 180º in 10 steps); -6.50 D to -9 D in .50-D steps (Cylinders: -1.25, -1.75; Axis: 90° and 180°, +20, no obliques); and, +0.25 D to +6 D in 0.25 steps (Cylinders: -0.75, -1.25, -1.75; Axis: 90° and 180°, +20, no obliques).
The company says its stabilizing technology directs the natural pressures of the blinking eye to balance the lens in place and realign the lens if it moves out of position, so patients with astigmatism can now attain consistent, all-day vision and comfort. The lenses also offer the highest level of UV-blocking available, obstructing more than 90 percent of UVA rays and 99 percent of UVB rays.
Vistakon has also introduced Acuvue Oasys contact lenses with Hydraclear Plus, designed to alleviate the dry, tired feeling wearers complain of in challenging environments. Oasys is made from senofilcon A, a new silicone hydrogel material that Vistakon says is 50-percent smoother than the other available silicone hydrogels lenses.

Derungs Medical Lighting's new Omnivue magnification task light is designed with an extra large, fully pivoting, 6.5-inch x 4.25-inch three-dimensional lens with 1.75-X magnification power and a 13.3-inch focal distance. The fully rotational head with an attached ball joint offers precise positioning of the lens for movement directly where it is needed to magnify and diagnose specific areas. Two light levels—1,200 lumens (18-watts) of side-to-side lighting or 1,800 lumens (27-watt) lighting from top and both sides of the magnifier are achieved by flipping the switch of the 9-watt, compact fluorescent 5000K lamp, providing lighting for both stand inspection applications and more detailed viewing. Two Add-X lenses are available for additional magnification from 7 to 16 D including a 4 D (2X) and 4 D+ 12 D (2X + 4X) lens. For comprehensive medical lighting information visit derungslicht.com.
