Centennial Introduces Sauflon Bioclear Contact Lenses to Canada

Centennial Optical has added Sauflon BioclearTM monthly replacement lenses to their contact lens portfolio, complementing Bioclear 1 Day lenses, which were introduced in 2011. 

Bioclear lenses contain the biomimetic additive, AquAtractTM, which has water-bonding properties that result in enhanced comfort for all-day wear. Independent clinical studies* showed that patients are able to wear Bioclear and Bioclear 1 Day for longer periods than other hydrogel lenses, reporting continued comfort over the entire wearing time. Bioclear received higher scores for handling and overall performance, compared to competitive lenses.

As with all of Centennial’s contact lens products, Bioclear contact lenses are available exclusively through eyecare professionals. “Since the inception of our company in 1985, Sauflon has maintained a strict Eyecare Professional Only policy”, says David Wells, Sauflon’s export sales director, “and Centennial’s shared commitment to this approach is part of the reason we chose them as our exclusive Canadian distributor.” Mike Jones, director of lens sales for Centennial, added, “It is only fair that the ECP, who performs the examinations and patient trials, creating the market for this product, be provided with the tools to retain the business they’ve created”.
