A first in the OWP men’s collection – two styles made from ultralight acetate. For both styles, top quality sheets of acetate are thinned down using cutting edge technology so they are just a few millimetres thick. This fine, yet dimensionally stable material is called HD acetate.
Colour gradient acetate is used for style 7594’s panto front. The temples consist of a long end tip with stainless steel decoration.

Discomfort and dry eyes are the major causes of patient dissatisfaction with contact lenses, and often contact lens practitioners will suggest switching to disposable lenses to improve performance, however research from the University of New South Wales, Australia funded by CIBA Vision and the Brien Holden Vision Institute, shows that simply reducing the length of time the patient is wearing contact lenses results in a large improvement in comfort and dryness.
The study, published June 2015 in Optometry and Vision Science, found that there was little decrease in patient comfort and dryness when contacts were worn for a period of less than four hours, but was significantly decreased for patients wearing contacts for over eight hours.
The time of day when the contacts were worn had no effect on the comfort of the contact lenses when worn for a four hour period, suggesting that discomfort with contact lenses was not caused by general eye fatigue.
This research indicates that patients unable to wear contacts comfortably for an entire day would benefit from adopting shorter periods of wear during the times of day where their lifestyle most demands comfortable contact lens wear.

Health Canada has approved the use of the iStent inject® Trabecular Micro-Bypass for the reduction of intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma.
Distributed in Canada by Labtician Ophthalmics, this system has been approved for patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma or pigmentary glaucoma.
The iStent inject can be used in conjunction with cataract surgery for patients requiring IOP reduction or who would benefit from a reduction in glaucoma medication.
The iStent inject system comes with an injector preloaded with two stents, which allows an ophthalmic surgeon to position two stents through a single opening in the cornea for greater IOP reduction. Each stent is 0.3 mm in diameter and 0.4 mm long.
