OxiMap® – visualizing the oxygen

transmissibility

Professional patient consultation

The cornea needs oxygen and a good oxygen supply is fundamental for the comfort of a
contact lens wearer. New materials used for soft contact lenses offer excellent oxygen
transmissibility. This can be shown with the new OCULUS OxiMap® display. You can easily
show these color maps to your patients and help them choose better contact lenses.

How much oxygen really reaches the cornea ?

Until now, only the oxygen transmissibility values for the center of a contact lens with –3.0 D
were available. The OxiMap® shows the oxygen transmissibility depending on the lens
material and the lens thickness. The OxiMap® is available for the most frequently sold
spherical soft contact lenses. This impressive tool assists you in the consultation
with customers to select the most suitable contact lens.

Plain and comprehensive visualization assures patient loyalty!

Contact lenses act as a potential barrier to
oxygen transport even when the eyes are open
to the atmosphere. Long hours of wearing
comfort can only be guaranteed with a sufficient
oxygen supply. The color representation of the
various terms of oxygen transmissibility is
based on international recommendations for
daily, extended and continuous wear.
