Menicon contact lens technology

Menicon is responsible for creating many of the most ground-breaking contact lens advancements available in the market today. These include:

MeniSilk^TM Air - delivers one of the highest levels of oxygen transmission to the eye of any commercially available lens to provide excellent hydrations and comfort.

NanoGloss^TM Pro - a super smooth surface designed specifically to enhance the comfort of this ultra-low modulus material. Benefits include nanometre precision, low friction surface & highly wettable.

Smart Touch^TM - innovative packaging that allows the inner surface of the lens to remain uncontaminated up to the point of application. The wearer only needs to touch the outer surface when inserting the lens.

CENTRAFORM^TM - a unique fully automated lens manufacturing process that produces high-quality optics in a comfortable thin lens design – resulting in a smooth edge that reduces friction when the wearer blinks.

Dual Balanced Design - provides easy adaption with naturally smooth transitions to view any object cleanly, no matter the distance.

Visiostable Design^TM - a lens design that works with your eyes for clear and comfortable vision. The unique asymmetric vertical thin zones match the eyelids’ natural asymmetric coverage of the cornea harnessing the natural lid force, optimising centration, and preventing rotation.

Neuro Adaptive^TM Design - allows for the adaptation of multiple prescriptions into a single lens to provide crisp sight at any distance.
