FR One Step |
| To perform proper lens care is vital for the protection
of the eyes. Without daily cleaning and disinfection, bacteria and
fungi will grow, thereby increasing the risks for eye infections to
occur. To meet this need, Ophtecs has developed Bioclen FR, as a safe
and efficient care product for all types of Frequent & Planned
Replacement (FR) contact lenses, including silicone hydrogel lenses.
Bioclen FR One Step, is a unique product with strong disinfection
power. As the only product on the market of its kind it uses Povidone-iodine
as disinfectant, and includes Proteolytic enzyme (Protease) as protein
remover. Bioclen FR is highly effective against all major bacteria
and fungi that can cause problems for contact lens users. Due to
the included Povidone-iodine, Bioclen FR completely kills acanthamoeba
*
For the removal of protein residue from the tears, especially denatured
protein, Proteolytic enzyme Protease) is Included. For proper removal
of oil and fat and metallic ion deposits, Poloxamer and EDTA are
included.
As for Hydrogen peroxide based solutions, neutralization is needed.
However, in the case of Bioclen FR, the neutralization process takes
place simultaneously, while the lenses are being disinfected. Complete
cleaning, disinfection, and neutralization, is completed after only
4 hours.
Key ingredients
■Povidone-iodine. Is the most commonly used medical disinfectant.

All-in-one MPS
Bioclen One is an all-in-one multipurpose solution for the cleaning,
storing and rinsing of various types
of soft contact lenses. Bioclen One satisfies the primary test criteria
in the ISO “Stand-Alone” disinfection test”*. Due to the included
PHMB, Bioclen One efficiently kills the most common types of bacteria
and fungi on contact lenses.
Bioclen One is also effective against the build-up of protein
residue and fat deposits on the lens, due to
the included Poloxamer. Bioclen One has furthermore been enhanced
with Disodium Edetate (EDTA) to remove ion deposits such as calcium
residue. The ability of Bioclen One to remove un-denatured protein
dirt (the most difficult protein dirt to remove), and the cleaning
efficiency of Bioclen One is thus on pair with major brands of
multipurpose solutions.
Bioclen One is CE certified as a No-rub solution.
*ISO14729_2001
Key Ingredients
■PHMB: Polyhexamehylene Biguanide is the most commonly used contact
lens disinfectant. It works by destroying the membrane of microorganisms
like bacteria and fungi.
■Poloxamer: A surfactant that helps to remove protein and fat
deposits on the lens. It works by
“pulling-off” the protein and lipids that adhere to the surface
of the lens. Poloxamer also has an ability to retain moisture
on the lens.
■EDTA: Disodium Edetate, removes ion deposits such as calcium
residue from the tears.
It works by electrically combine itself with the metallic ions,
and then “lifting” these away from the
surface of the contact lens.

Dry
eye problem
Problems with dry eyes are a worldwide growing problem. These days
many people are spending more time on work that requires intense visual
concentration. Combined with the influence of the use of air conditioners
or age, moisture is evaporating faster from the eyes than what can
be replaced by the natural tears. Contact lens users are very familiar
with this situation, where the contact lenses are "draining"
moisture from the eyes so they feel dry.
Tiare-f - a solution
Tiare-f are single-use, sterile and preservative-free, lubricating
eye drops. Being preservative-free they
can safely be used by people with very sensitive eyes. This is why
Tiare-f is recommended for all contact lens wearers, and others,
who have problems with dry eyes. Tiare-f has been especially formulated
to protect the surface of the eyes by adding Sodium Hyaluronate
and HPMC, and by including ingredients, which are equal to those
found in the natural tears.
Tiare-f is a CE certified product.
Key ingredients
■Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride and other ingredients present
in the natural tears.
■Sodium Hyaluronate, is a moist keeping ingredient, which is widely
used in cosmetics. In contact lens solutions, Sodium Hyaluronate
creates a “cushion” of moisture on the surface of the contact lenses
and the eyes. This makes the movements of eyelids and the contact
lenses more smooth and comfortable. Sodium Hyaluronate also helps
to keep moisture in the eyes.
■HPMC, (Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), with similar functions as
Sodium Hyaluronate. HPMC relieves eye dryness and irritation caused
by reduced tear flow. Both Sodium Hyaluronate and HPMC help to stabilize
the natural tear film on the surface of the eyes, thus suppressing
the creation of dry spots.
To ensure that the eye-drops are always fresh, Tiare-f is packed
in boxes containing 30 x 0.5ml single-use, preservative-free, doses.

 |
| Usage |
Before fill MPS in lens
case, apply 1 drop of Clenstar. After that,rub lens with your fingers
and then immerse the lens in the lens case at least for 4 hours.
Before wearing lens, soak the lens thoroughly, then wear lenses on
your eyes. |
| OPI |
Irrigating solutions
Current irrigating solutions used during ocular surgery fall into
two categories; “inorganic ion solutions” and “oxidized glutathione
containing solutions”. Inorganic ion solutions are ready to use products,
which,
however, do little to protect or aid the recovery of ocular tissues
damaged by surgery. Oxidized glutathione containing solutions provide
some protection against damage caused by free radicals released by
light or phacoemulsification. However, this category of solutions
has a greater risk of contamination since two solutions has to be
mixed prior to use.
One-Step Solution
OPI is a sterile and preservative free, one-step, iso-osmotic intraocular
irrigating solution, designed to be used during cataract surgery,
glaucoma and vitreous-body surgeries. The OPI solution helps to
maintain ocular structure and hydration of the intraocular tissues
during surgery.
OPI Advantages
One advantage of OPI is that it contains D-β-HBA for the protection
of corneal tissue. D-β-HBA is chemically very stable in aqueous
ophthalmic formulations, whereas oxidized glutathione needs to be
pre-mixed with a solution before use.
What is D-β-HBA ?
■D-β-HBA is a natural occurring part of the human body, where it
functions as a ketone body,
produced by the hepatocytes, the kidneys and the astrocytes.
■HBA is maintained below 0.1 mM in blood, and approximately 20μM
is present in human tear.
■Used as oxidative fuel and lipogenic precursor in various organs
and tissues.
■HBA maintains corneal endothelial cell junctions and protects the
integrity of the
Blood-aqueous barrier.
Other advantages of OPI are
■Laboratory tests has shown that OPI can prevent the functional
breakdown
of the corneal endothelium better than oxidized glutathione.
■OPI is effective in controlling endothelial swelling.
■Clinical trials have confirmed that OPI can safely and effectively
be used during ocular surgery.
■OPI is a one-step irrigating solution, which does not need to be
mixed before use.
■OPI is delivered in an easy to handle LDPE plastic bag, which is
covered in a 100% gas tight,
3 layer plastic film.
■The OPI bag can be EO sterilized, which makes it possible to include
OPI in surgical
custom packs, since no EO gas can permeate the outer plastic film.
■3 years shelf life.
■OPI is a CE certified product, classified as a Class IIa medical
device.
■Multi label language: English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
