The RevitaLens Ocutec multi-purpose disinfecting solution delivers high-quality disinfection and comfort for the user, with the convenience of a single bottle, Abbott said.
Abbott Medical Optics senior vice president Jim Mazzo said that this advanced solution establishes a new standard of disinfecting technology for contact lens wearers and proper contact lens care, including a rub and rinse regimen using RevitaLens Ocutec, will help patients achieve clean and comfortable lenses while enhancing overall lens-wearing satisfaction.
According to Abbott, the RevitaLens Ocutec multi-purpose disinfecting solution removes proteins from the lens surface, effectively kills Acanthamoeba and Fusarium, reduces corneal staining and minimises risk of eye complications.
Abbott plans to begin retail shipment of RevitaLens Ocutec multi-purpose disinfecting solution in the US this October and the product has already got CE mark approval in Europe.
