For cut-to-polish or free-form lens polishing

The Soft Tool Polisher, from Gerber Coburn, enables you and/or your lab technician to perform cut-to-polish or free-form lens polishing with the company's DTL Generator. It also allows you to eliminate hard laps and its associated labor, increasing productivity while reducing your operating and inventory costs, the company says.

You can initially purchase the Soft Polisher as a manual machine and upgrade later to a lap-loading feature and a fully automated version that links the DTL Generator to the polisher via conveyor. If you fabricate a high volume of lenses in your lab, you can connect two polishers to produce a single job simultaneously, Gerber Coburn says.

Monthly modality lens for astigmatic presbyopes

This lens' soft, low modulus results in a comfortable lens-wearing experience, CooperVision says.

The Proclear Multifocal Toric contact lens (CL), from CooperVision, is a monthly modality CL for astigmatic patients developing presbyopia. The CL is made with the company's PC Hydrogel omafilcon A material, which has a high water affinity that creates a shield of water on the lens surface to preclude deposits from sticking to the CL and enables it to resist dehydration, CooperVision says.

Other features include:

• A soft, low modulus

•A sphere power range from +4.00D to -6.00D in 0.25D steps

• ADD powers of +1.00D, +1.50D, +2.00D and +2.50D

• Cylinder powers of -0.75D, -1.25D, -1.75D and -2.25D

• Base curves of 8.4mm and 8.8mm

• A diameter of 14.4mm

• Axis of 5° to 180° in 5° steps

• Balanced Progressive Technology design, so you can independent-ly adjust either the distance sphere power or ADD power of a maxi-mum of +/-0.50D, giving you more control and flexibility when fitting.
