Soft perm 2

Postby tralaine » Sat 28 Jan 2006 9:24 pm

My optician has told me there is a new soft perm (2) lens coming out soon, does anyone know off this? Its a newer form of the original soft lens, meant to be even better for KC,just wondering if anyone knows how long before it comes out or if anyones got anymore information on it.

Many thanks

Don't know about the new lens. But if you find your way to Gartnavel they will certainly know about all the options available for KC or graft eyes.

The makers of SoftPerms are always releasing new upgraded version of the lens, and its generaly focused around increasing the oxygen transmission through the lens to the cornea........there have been around 2 upgrades to this lens since I wore them about 4 odd years back
