Menicon has succeeded to develop new material and design for gas permeable lens, as the result of the long time research and development, which enable to offer all the wearers benefits of long term corneal health, vision, comfort and wettability.

Chemical breakthrough

Past technology for rigid gas lens used to make the strength of lens material weaken as relatively increasing its oxygen permeability. However Menicon tried advancing the new lens material that enabled to enhance both oxygen permeability and material strength.

That is the development of new polymer with composing novelsyloxanylstyrene, fluoromethacrylate and benzotriazol UV absorber.

This chemical structure results in excellent mechanical properties, allowing the lens to be made significantly thinner than a typical rigid gas lens.  As one of its specific characteristics, it can provide superior visual correction and show excellent performance against astigmatism.
