Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What types of vision issues is this bifocal contact lens designed to address specifically?
This lens is designed for patients with presbyopia or other conditions requiring both near and distance vision correction. The bifocal design provides dual focal points to assist with these needs, allowing users to see clearly at varying distances without switching lenses.
Is this contact lens reusable, or is it intended for single-use only?
The Boston Lens II Algés Bifocal Contact Lens is explicitly supplied as a single-use device. This ensures sterility and safety for clinical use, as it is intended for direct placement on the cornea without reuse.
How is the sterility of this lens maintained for clinical use?
The lens is packaged and maintained in a sterile state to meet clinical standards. Since it is single-use, sterility is preserved until the first application, eliminating the need for cleaning or reprocessing between patients.
What materials is this contact lens made from, and why does that matter?
The lens is made from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), a durable and biocompatible material commonly used in ophthalmic implants. PMMA provides clarity, stability, and resistance to wear, which are critical for long-term corneal contact and vision correction.
How do I determine the correct size and power prescription for this lens?
The available sizes and power prescriptions are detailed in the product documentation provided by Unilens Corp. Since this is a custom-fitted device, consultation with an eye care professional is required to select the appropriate prescription and ensure proper fit for the patient’s corneal curvature and vision needs.
