Ciba Vision is pleased to announce the introduction to the market of Dailies AquaComfort Plus, an innovative contact lens that significantly changes the concept of comfort for daily lenses. The first and only Ciba Vision lens with the exclusive “Triple Action”, Dailies AquaComfort Plus lubricates, helps to maintain moisture and refreshes the lens for exceptional comfort that lasts all day. With patent registration pending, this new lens contains a lubricating agent for immediate comfort at the start of the day, a hydrophilic agent that helps to keep lenses moist and provide daylong comfort, and a third agent that is blink-activated to refresh the lenses and keep them comfortable all through the day.
With the new Dailies AquaComfort Plus lenses, blinking releases the moisturizing agents that support the action of the lachrymal film to ensure exceptional comfort all day long.
The three agents that make up the “Triple Action” are: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), to lubricate the lens, Polyethylene glycol (PEG), to help maintain moisture, and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), for daylong freshness. Recent studies have shown that discomfort is a major complaint by contact lens wearers and that 47% give up wearing them because of this. The new Dailies AquaComfort Plus’ triple action guarantees even more daylong comfort than the original Focus Dailies All Day Comfort, so Dailies AquaComfort Plus lenses respond to a major requirement that had not been fully satisfied previously.
Dailies AquaComfort Plus represent CIBA Vision’s constant commitment to innovation in the daily contact lens segment. Clinical studies have demonstrated that lens wearers preferred the new Dailies AquaComfort Plus by 2 to 1 compared to Focus Dailies All Day Comfort for “general preference” and “day-end comfort”. To meet the various expectations of wearers in terms of comfort and price, CIBA Vision will continue to offer Focus Dailies All Day Comfort, but opticians/optometrists will now have two top-quality daily contact lens options, both with moisturizing agents.
Dailies AquaComfort Plus are ideal for contact lens wearers who have high expectations when it comes to comfort, or who have had negative experiences of discomfort, and, of course, for potential new users. Even in conditions that make it difficult to use contact lenses, such as long hours spent in the office, wearers will find that these lenses provide excellent comfort. Focus Dailies All Day Comfort lenses are perfect for people who are interested in contact lenses because they wear eyeglasses and have an active lifestyle, for occasional use, for young consumers and, in general, for anyone who wants good value for money.
With the launch of Dailies AquaComfort Plus lenses, Ciba Vision has also made some changes to the Dailies brand and product packaging. Dailies AquaComfort Plus has a new packaging and is the first CIBA Vision product with the company’s new logo.
