ALCON
Total30 for Astigmatism
Alcon has announced the introduction of Total30 for Astigmatism to address the dryness and discomfort astigmatic contact lens wearers are more likely to experience, shares the company. The reusable contact lenses feature Water Gradient material designed to provide clear, comfortable, and stable vision for astigmatic contact lens wearers, Alcon shares.
First introduced with Dailies Total1 contact lenses, Alcon’s proprietary Water Gradient material gradually increases to nearly 100% water at the outermost surface. In Total30 for Astigmatism lenses, the Water Gradient design features biomimetic Celligent technology that, according to Alcon, helps resist bacteria and lipid deposits, designed to keep lenses clean throughout their monthlong life span. Additionally, Precision Balance 8|4 lens design aims to deliver the on-eye stability necessary for clear vision in astigmatic patients.

ESCHENBACH OPTIK OF AMERICA INC.
Magno Travel Lamp
Eschenbach Optik of America Inc. has introduced the Magno Travel Lamp, a compact two-in-one light with multiple lighting options and a dimming feature.
The Magno Travel Lamp offers three color temperatures—warm yellow (3,200K), neutral white (4,200K), and cool white (6,000K)—with a color rendition index greater than 90, according to the company. Pressing and holding the power button works as a dimmer, altering the light’s brightness. For use as a desk lamp, the lamp head folds out from the side of the handle, allowing it to stand on a flat surface with the flashlight side, which features a rubber grip for added stability, facing down. With the lamp head folded in, the lamp operates as a hand-held flashlight.
The Magno Travel Lamp comes with a USB cable for recharging.
