‘Nothing’ Less Than Brilliant? Biomimicry in Monthly Contact Lenses

Provider: Mivision

Activity Outline

In Australia and New Zealand there is undoubtedly a trend towards fitting daily disposable contact lenses. However, a surprising number of patients have not followed that trend. In Australia and New Zealand, daily disposable lenses have the largest percentage in Australia and New Zealand by value, but when it comes to the number of boxes sold, 58% of patients are still wearing reusable lenses. That number has remained stable over the past five years.1

Recently, Alcon released a new monthly reusable lens, Total30.

Learning Objectives

  • Be aware of behaviours guiding reusable vs daily disposable contact lenses
  • Understand the material properties of Total30 reusable contact lenses
  • Realise the benefits of these material properties to wearers
