HYBRID RGP MATERIALS

Progressive Optical SM2™ DK 45

The SM2™ Contact lens material is the "state of the art"  generation in contact lenses. This is a patented polysulfone copolymer. Because polysulfones are highly biocompatable with human body tissue, a lens made from polysulfones is very comfortable on the eye from the initial moment of wear. The SM2™ material also contains a UV absorber wich absorbs UV light in the region of 290 - 360 nanometers; the UV light in this region is the most damaging to the human eyes. Contact lenses made from the SM2™ material are adaptable to a wider spectrum of lens appplications. This material has one of the lowest wetting angles on the market today and therefore able to resist deposits and enhance comfort. The SM2™ material is designed to resolve the problems of even the most sensitive eyes.

Available colours: Blue, Green ,Grey,(all with UV blocker) 290-360 nm

Progressive Optical RSP™ DK 55

The RSP™ contact lens material is designed by copolymerizing oxygen permeability agent monomers, hardening agent monomers, wetting agents and crosslinking agents. The distinguising feature of the RSP material is that it employs two wetting agents, one acidic and one basic. Theses wetting agents are copolymerized into the matrix of the polymer to give a ballanced pH serface of the lens while increasing wettability for the desired comfort. The technologically advanced desighn of the material gives stability to the lens and instant comfort.

Available colours: blue, green, grey and photochrome activity

Progressive Optical PS™ DK 12O

The PS™ material is a high oxygen permeable material. It is designed from the same family of monomers as the SM2™ material except the composition of the monomers is uniquely combined to give high oxygen permeability with a DK in the range of 120. This material is  very effective for patients requiring high oxygen transmissibility through the lens and is especially suitable for high plus aphakic lenses. Like the SM2™ , the biocompatibility of polysulfones with  human body tissue gives this material exeptional comfort to the user

available colours: blue , green (all with UV blocker) 290-360 nm

ALBERTA 2 (DK 21)

This material is the most stable material in the industry today. It has excellent wetting characteristics and is very durable. The Alberta 2 lens is suitable for a variety of patients who require extended hours of daily wear.

ALBERTA 3 (DK 31)
This material combines the stability of the Alberta 2 material with a higher DK value. This allows the Alberta 3 to retain the wettability and stability features as that of the Alberta 2 lens. It also is suitable for extended hours of daily wear.


ALBERTA S (DK 70)
The Alberta S is the "state of the art" generation of contact lenses. This material is uniquely designed to block damaging light in the region of 300 - 380 nanometers (ultraviolet) to prevent the creation of cataracts. This material is designed to resolve the problems of even the most sensitive eyes.

ALBERTA N (DK 40)
This contact lens material is a fluorocarbon that resists deposits. It has Teflon-like non-adhesive properties that are resistant to protein and lipid bond deposits. The surface of the lens is uniquely designed to possess good wettability by the combination of basic and acidic wetting agents.
