Unilens Vision Announces National Roll-Out of Disposable C-Vue® HydraVUE™ Multifocal Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses
Combination of World-Class Patented C-Vue Multifocal Technology and Silicone Hydrogel Material Supports Eye Health and Provides for Excellent Visual Outcomes for Presbyopia
LARGO, FL--(Marketwire - Feb 21, 2013) - Unilens Vision Inc. (
"C-Vue HydraVUE Multifocal contact lenses in silicone hydrogel provide vision correction for presbyopia, an age-related eye condition that causes a person's 'near vision' to deteriorate, typically after reaching the age of 40," stated Kelly McKnight, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Unilens Vision Inc. "It is C-Vue's proven, patented rapid transition zone design technology, incorporated within the lens itself, that provides for excellent near, far and everywhere in-between visual outcomes without the need to wear bifocal or reading glasses. The new silicone hydrogel material is characterized by greater oxygen transmissibility for better eye heath and overall comfort."
The new monthly replacement lenses, which are available in High and Low ADD Power Ranges (from +6.00 to -10.00), will be sold exclusively to independent eye care professionals. Unilens will provide eye care professionals with an attractive and user-friendly display cabinet and trial program with a 120-Day Performance Guarantee on the lenses.
"As the number of persons with presbyopia continues to grow at a faster rate than America's population as a whole due to demographic trends, the new C-Vue HydraVUE Multifocal, now available with our updated trial cabinet program, will provide independent practitioners with a silicone hydrogel multifocal contact lens option that contributes to patient retention and practice profitability," noted Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "We are very excited about the launch of this new product, which we believe will be enthusiastically received by licensed optical professionals and contact lens wearers."
