CooperVision Launches New clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add Contact Lenses in Canada

Reflecting its steadfast commitment to continuous innovation, CooperVision announced the immediate Canadian availability of its new clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add contact lenses. Several of the company’s advanced technologies are combined in the new lens to provide all-day comfort, ease of fit and the widest range, to meet the needs of more patients.^*2,3

clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add features the CooperVision Binocular Progressive System, an innovative 3 Add design that caters to all levels of presbyopia to provide optimal visual acuity at all distances.⁴ The design offers the additional advantage of a simplified fitting process to make it easier for practitioners to fit patients with the right lens, without the need for extended chair time.³

With a focus on maximizing patient comfort, CooperVision utilized its proprietary Optimised Comfort Edge—an upgraded edge design—in the clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add contact lens to provide a high level of comfort from the first fit.^5,6 The new lens pairs this design with WetLoc Technology, which creates a naturally wettable lens that locks in moisture to help keep lenses moist throughout the day, supporting all-day comfort.*

“As our R&D teams continuously advance contact lens technology, we actively look for ways to extend meaningful innovations across other products, so that more practices and wearers can benefit,” said Michele Andrews, OD, Vice President, Marketing and Professional & Academic Affairs, Americas, CooperVision. “The addition of the Binocular Progressive System—the same multifocal design first introduced in the highly regarded MyDay multifocal—elevates the performance of clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add, including the incredible fit success.”

In a clinical study, a remarkable 98% of patients were fit with their final clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add prescription with two pairs of lenses or fewer.^3,7,8

To further enable prescribing for more patients, the new clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add is available in the industry-leading range of +8.00D and -12.00D, providing more sphere powers than any other competitive 1-day multifocal lens.²

“A lot of patients who have grown up not requiring any vision correction get to a point in their 40s where they suddenly experience changes in their vision. This is all new to them and can bring on frustration.” said Dr. Michael Shaheen, OD, Hills & Dales Vision, Inc. “Offering solutions like the clariti 1 day multifocal 3 Add lens gives patients the ability to see without help from glasses, giving them their freedom back.”

It is estimated that 128 million Americans currently have presbyopia, and recent data reveals that 40% of new contact lens wearers are over the age of 40, pointing to substantial opportunity for practices to fit more multifocal contact lenses.^9,10
