SO₂Clear corneo-scleral lenses are designed to equally distribute pressure along the corneal and scleral surfaces, offering a unique combination of visual performance consistent with RGP lenses and comfort and stability equal to hydrogel materials.

SO₂Clear is manufactured in Boston XO^®, which provides good stability and excellent oxygen transmission, promoting outstanding corneal health with the known low infection risk of RGP materials. In addition it’s highly wettable surface ensures comfort is maintained for long wearing periods and reduces the dryness sensations often associated with soft lens wear.

SO₂Clear lenses are also plasma treated, a process which further enhances wettability and maximises all day comfort.

Loyal patients are key to a successful, profitable practice and with SO₂Clear your patients are experiencing a unique product, not available on the internet or the supermarket. This perception of a ‘specialist’ lens increases patient enthusiasm and confidence.

SO₂Clear provides the visual acuity of an RGP lens whilst delivering the comfort of a soft lens, resulting in excellent adaptation and longer wearing times.

SO₂Clear lenses have an average diameter similar to that of a soft contact lens, providing excellent initial comfort and rapid adaptation times. The lens shows smaller movement on blink than an RGP lens and sits comfortably under the patients lid, reducing lid interaction and increasing lens comfort.

For many years it has been accepted that the levels of vision achieved with RGP lenses are often considerably greater than those achieved with soft lenses. SO₂Clear provides visual performance consistent with these rigid lens optics. A stable lens fit combined with the tear lens optics enables correction of significant regular and irregular astigmatism without the need for complex toric designs.

SO₂Clear is a first choice option for many of your everyday patients. Drop-out rates continue to remain high in contact lenses and we believe SO₂Clear can halt this trend. SO₂Clear is beneficial for the following: -

Unsuccessful soft lens wearers with high visual demands

Patients who require correction outside of the standard parameter ranges rarely achieve vision levels comparable to their spectacle refraction. SO₂Clear maintains the comfort of a soft lens whilst exhibiting crisp, stable vision throughout the day.

Unsuccessful RGP lens wearers experiencing comfort issues

Both new and existing RGP wearers can report problems with comfort. With SO₂Clear you are no longer in a position where you need to sacrifice vision for comfort.

Mild to moderate keratoconus patients

SO₂Clear’s excellent stability and large diameter make it an excellent choice for fitting keratoconus patients. It’s large diameter is designed to vault corneal irregularities whilst remaining stable on the eye. KC SO₂Clear has been specially designed to fit prolate corneas to provide optimal comfort, stability and acuity.

Multifocal patients

SO₂Clear Multifocals incorporate a centre near design, offering simultaneous vision. Exceptional centration gives the lens a distinct advantage over other products as it provides stable vision even in low light conditions.
