WHAT'S NEW

COOPERVISION’S MULTIFOCAL DISPOSABLES. Proclear^® 1 day multifocal daily disposable contact lenses are offered in a broad power range and designed with a single power profile. With the use of a near boost in the

non-dominant eye, lenses accommodate patients up to +2.50 add. As a result, practitioners can more easily adjust prescriptions—even as they change—contributing to less chair time, more profitable visits, and improved patient satisfaction. PC Technology™ attracts and maintains moisture, thus reducing dryness. For more info, contact CooperVision, Inc. at 800-341-2020 or coopervision.com.

OCUSOFT’S ADVANCED DRY EYE THERAPY. Retaine^® MGD™ Ophthalmic Emulsion is a new therapy for patients suffering from Dry Eye Syndrome and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

This preservative-free oil-in-water emulsion moisturizes, lubricates, and protects moderate to severe dry eyes. Utilizing Novasorb^® Technology, a cationic process of binding positively charged ions to the negatively charged ocular surface, it prolongs corneal contact time resulting in enhanced comfort.
