DISC-1 Day Myopia Control Soft Contact Lens
Myopia or shortsightedness occurs when the eyeball is too long relative to the focusing power of the eye. Light focuses in front of the retina rather than on it, making distant objects blurry.
The DISC lens, developed by the PolyU, is a multi-zone soft contact lens that provides clear vision and at the same time projects blurred, defocused peripheral images onto the retina to slow down the increase in the axial length of the myopic eye.
The clinical trial conducted by PolyU showed that DISC lens can effectively retard the progression of myopia by approximately 60% amongst Hong Kong children aged 8 to 13, thus providing another effective choice in myopia control for children aged 6 or above during a period of high progression rate.
DISC – 1 Day is a daily disposable lens without the need for cleaning and disinfecting which minimizes the risk of complications arising from hygienic issues and it corrects myopia up to -10.00 diopters.
Stringent assessments of ocular health, refractive errors, lens fitting and regular follow up care are warranted to ensure safety for our wearers.
