CooperVision Expands Parameters for Proclear® Toric XR Lenses

Expanded XR range offers all-day comfort to more patients with astigmatism
Wed, Jan 14, 2009

CooperVision has extended the parameters of its Proclear® Toric XR contact lenses, giving the Proclear Toric brand the broadest parameter range of any disposable or monthly toric lens available. The latest expansion includes low cylinders (-0.75 to -2.25) in high plus and high minus spheres, rounding out the total sphere power range at +10.00D to -10.00D.

“The overwhelming success of Proclear Toric XR has created the need for a broader parameter offering for patients with astigmatism,” said Doug Brayer, marketing manager, CooperVision. “Now, eye care practitioners can offer a more comfortable lens option to an even wider range of patients with astigmatism.”

With this latest expansion, the Proclear Toric family is now available in more than 45,000 parameters. Proclear Toric and Proclear Toric XR monthly replacement lenses have base curves of 8.4 and 8.8, cylinder powers of -0.75 to -5.75 in 0.50D steps, and around-the-clock axis.

“This latest parameter extension further solidifies CooperVision’s position as experts and leaders in the specialty lens market, as well as demonstrates our dedication to providing eye care practitioners with the parameters they need to fit virtually their entire patient base,” added Brayer.

Proclear Toric lenses are part of the PC Hydrogel™ family of contact lenses that offer excellent health and optimum comfort for daily-wear patients. The lenses are made with CooperVision-patented PC Technology™, which keeps the lenses moist, healthy, and comfortable throughout the day. Proclear Toric lenses are made with omafilcon A material, the only lens material with an FDA-cleared indication relating to the improvement of comfort for those who experience dryness or mild discomfort during lens wear.
