At David Thomas Contact Lenses we are constantly investing in improvements to our production systems and looking for better materials to manufacture contact lenses that offer the ultimate performance.
We believe that Comfort O2, the worlds first rigid gas permeable silicone hyrdrogel offers a truly quantum leap forward in lens technology combining the comfort associated with a soft lens with the superior vision found in an RGP lens.
Comfort O2 material which has FDA approval is a silicone hydrogel polymer that has been formulated to hydrate on the surface like a soft silicone hydrogel lens while remaining rigid in the interior of the lens. Comfort O2 combines the wettability and comfort of a soft silicone-hydrogel lens with the permeability and durability of an RGP lens.
Other materials from the same manufacturer include Comfort DR, a material particularly good for patients with deposit problems and Comfort HO a high DK material offering good comfort because of a novel combination of wetting agents.
