Product Information
Sofmed 55 is a two-week replacement lens from CooperVision, designed to correct for astigmatism. Sofmed 55 - same as Ultraflex 55. Sofmed 55 is sold under multiple names in a variety of stores, they are all the same contact lens and all orders will be shipped as Ultraflex 55, which is the original manufacturer for this lens.
One of the most notable features of Sofmed 55 is that they are aspheric lenses. If you haven’t heard of aspheric lenses, the concept is pretty easy to understand. Regular contact lenses have an even, spherical curve over the entire lens. With aspheric lenses, the curve is varied over the lens, causing the light coming into the eye to focus more precisely on the retina. The idea is that the sharper focus should provide clearer vision compared to when light is focused in a general area. You don’t have to sacrifice comfort or convenience when you save on contact lenses. Sofmed 55 contacts have a special rounded edge that helps make these lenses incredibly comfortable. Sofmed 55 lenses also have a 55 percent water content, keeping your eyes moist all day.
Sofmed 55 contact lenses are 1-2 week disposable contact lenses, which means they can be worn daily for up to 14 days. However, they should be removed and sanitized each night and reinserted in the morning. After 2 weeks, they should be discarded and replaced with a brand new pair of contact lenses. Using a shorter replacement schedule helps keep eyes fresh, clear, and healthy as there is little time for build-up and allergens to accumulate and irritate eyes. For current contact lens wearers who experience irritation and discomfort, Sofmed 55 may be the alternative you’ve been looking for.
