X-Cel Specialty Contacts Launches Lunara Ortho-K
X-Cel Specialty Contacts and Essilor Custom Contacts announce the launch of Lunara™, a new FDA PMA-approved overnight orthokeratology lens.
Lunara is manufactured in Optimum Infinite® (tisilfocon A), a 180 Dk material that provides high oxygen permeability for overnight wear. Lunara’s landing zone geometry is designed around familiar tangential fitting principles used in established orthokeratology practices. Practitioners can apply the clinical logic they already know while using flexible optic zone and diameter options to address individual patient needs.
“Whether a doctor is new to fitting orthokeratology or already fitting today’s leading tangential-design lenses, Lunara is built around familiar clinical principles. It combines premium material performance, flexible parameters, fast turnaround and direct access to knowledgeable specialty contact lens consultants. Lunara reflects how we believe specialty contact lens manufacturers should support practices: with a strong product backed by equally strong operational support.” – Derrell James, Vice President and General Manager – X-Cel Specialty Contacts | Essilor Custom Contacts
