Why Gas Permeable Lenses?
Better Optics while promoting ocular health
- Custom made for every patient
- Better optics – Better stability
- New materials resist bacteria and protein
- Design helps refresh tear layer
Patient options
- Presbyopic patients benefit from Gas Permeable optical system
- Custom lens parameters for Astigmatics
- Kerataconus, keratotomy and keratoplasty patients
Today’s Gas Permeable
- Technology has made Gas Permeable fitting easy
- Increased patient satisfaction
- Less chair time
Better Value for the Patient
- Average cost for GP patient per year: $150.00
- $250.00 per year for spectacles
- $500.00 per year for disposable soft contacts
Practice Sense
- Patients provide more referals
- Patients stay with practitioners, rarely turn to mail-order or internet options
Gas Permeable Spheres
Metro Optics Gas Permeable contact lenses are crafted to provide patients excellent vision with a comfortable fit. Employing the most advanced equipment available, Metro Optics consistently blends spherical, aspheric and reverse geometrical curves to practitioner specification. Every lens is completely reproducible to ensure long-term satisfaction, and patient records are kept on file for laboratory and practitioner convenience.
Metro Optics’ toric oxygen permeable contact lenses can be designed for virtually any astigmatic patient. Decades spent studying corneal topography and physiological optics, has given us the experience to design toric lenses with an over-all success rate of 98%. 85% of all patients are fit successfully with the first pair.
Metro Optics’ professional consultants can design toric lenses from corneal readings and spectacle refraction. A fitting guide is available that explains our simple but effective design and sophisticated manufacturing systems featuring the latest technology allow us to manufacture these lenses with total consistency.
For corneas with high astigmatism and eccentricity, we have created toric lenses with aspheric curvatures. Whether a patient requires a base toric, front toric or bitoric lens design, Metro Optics can produce results easily.
We will manufacture lenses to your exact specifications, or if you desire, we can design lenses for you from corneal readings and spectacle refraction.
