Unity BioSync

VSP Optics enters the contact lens category with the launch of Unity BioSync. The premium daily disposable spherical contact lens provides comfort and optical performance through a proprietary combination of silicone hydrogel material and proprietary polymer coating, according to the company.

Unity BioSync has a base curve of 8.8mm and a diameter of 14.1mm, with a power range of +8.00D to -10.00D. It offers a Dk/t value of 150, allowing more oxygen to get to the eyes, which is critical in preserving eye health.

The lenses will initially be available to patients through practices participating in the VSP Global Premier Program. unitycontactlenses.com

WESTERN OPTICAL SUPPLY

Vertex Distometer

In the exam room, the trial lens can be a greater distance from the pupil than the lens in the final eyewear, especially when fitting a high minus or high plus. The Vertex Distometer, new from Western Optical Supply, compensates the patient’s Rx by measuring the position of wear vertex distance and provides a compensation scale to determine the appropriate modification to the Rx. westernoptical.com , 505-455-1100
