The progress in the contact lens industry is extremely fast. Manufacturers introduce new lens designs and materials every year, offering their customers better and better products, improving their safety and other important characteristics. However, some patients exhibit adverse reactions to new materials or designs, or simply prefer their current contact lenses. To help them, Alden Optical, Inc., a producer of custom contact lenses (both soft and gas permeable ones) decided to launch the Phoenix Program in 2010.
Now, the programme has been expanded to cover a large number of contact lenses whose production has been stopped by major contact lens producers lately. As part of the Phoenix Program, Alden Optical provides contact lenses made of polymacon, methafilcon, Benz 3X and Benz 5X in all combinations of base curves and diameters. The spherical powers of the lenses range from -30.00D to +30.00 D.
Eye care practitioners participating in the programme contact the company or its distributor, give them the patient’s prescription along with information on the current brand of their contact lenses. Alden Optical makes replacement lens and sends them within two days.
