With an oxygen transmissibility level of 175, Focus NIGHT&DAY extended wear lenses transmit the industry's highest amount of oxygen to the eye's cornea.
They are made of balafilcon A, with revolutionary AerGel(TM) technology for excellent oxygen transmissibility, and the Performa(TM) surfacing technology that creates a consistent wettable surface for optimal visual acuity and comfort.
New promotional materials, supported by clinical data previously provided to the FDA, have been developed emphasizing the product's high oxygen transmissibility, which, among other things, allows for low levels of overnight corneal swelling.
