Safegel contact lenses
The contact lens that thinks it's an eye drop
Safegel contact lenses represent a significant leap in contact lens performance. They are designed for wearers who demand the highest levels of long term comfort from their disposable lens wear.
Safegel takes a unique approach to all day comfort by being the ONLY contact lens material to incorporate the natural bio-polymer, sodium hyaluronate - used in many leading dry eye drops - into the lens matrix.
Safegel, the Worlds first hyaluronate-gel contact lens, produces a continual slow-release of sodium hyaluronate helping to replenish the pre and post-lens tear film, maximising lens comfort throughout the longest wearing times.
Comfort in the blink of an eye
Sodium Hyaluronate (also known as Hyaluronic Acid or HA) is a natural polysaccharide that is fount widely in connective and epithelial tissues that:
-
Loves water binding 3000 times its own weight in water
-
Loves warmth heating in the eye increases fluidity, resulting in its gradual slow released ito the pre and post lens tear film
-
Loves blinking sheer forces created by the lod blinking further aids flow into the tear film
-
Loves tears becoming less viscous during the blink, and more viscous between blinks (mimicking the non-Newtonian behaviour of natural tears)
Safegel material is available in a range of options:
