In the US in 2016, SynergEyes® introduced the option of Tangible™ Hydra-PEG surface treatment of the Duette and UltraHealth families.
What is Tangible™ Hydra-Peg surface treatment?
Tangible™ Hydra-Peg is a further step in improving initial, all day and end of day comfort. Tangible™ Hydra-PEG is a breakthrough technology in polymer science that encapsulates the lens in an ultra thin layer of a Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) polymer.
It creates an extremely wettable contact lens surface with increased surface water retention due to the 90% water content of the PEG polymer. It is designed to solve problems of lens comfort whereby lubricity is increased and coefficient of friction is decreased).
As a result of Tangible™ Hydra-PEG treatment, surface wettability, surface water retention, break-up time, lubricity and deposit resistance, benefit. Please visit www.tangiblescience.com for more information.
The Tangible™ Hydra-PEG treatment was quickly FDA approved for the US and Canada.
For Europe CE approval is still pending.
