Frequency is yet another brand represented by CooperVison, Inc. ®. Like many other brands in this umbrella collection, Frequency® 55™ contact lenses come in several variations, including, “Sphere,” Aspheric,” Toric,” and “Multifocal.” These last two are probably the most common, sense many people suffer from Astigmatism, which is a condition where an unnatural forming of the human ocular lens hinders refractive light from being channeled appropriately inward, causing blurred or distorted vision. Toric contact lenses are among the biggest sellers for precisely this reason. Many people have varying degrees of nearsightedness, farsightedness, or both. Any Frequency® 55™multifocal contact lens accommodates with ease and comfort because the multifocal is designed with a spherical lens/cylindrical lens combination to provide a balance between near distance, far distance, and everything in between and side to side. Every Frequency® 55™ contact lens works on variations in this same way. A model 55 contact Frequency® lens, toric or Multifocal, deals with shades; the distinctions between near and far are not necessarily sharply separated but blended together to create a crisp, clear panorama of sight.
The secret behind the multifocal capabilities lies in Balanced Progressive Technology, or BPT, which specializes in enhancing visual acuity in many ways. One major way, as seen here, the ability to intricately put two or more kinds of lens together in such a way so that vision is improved without causing undue stress on the eyes. Since each person’s eyes are different than those of any other, each multifocal lens--or set of lenses, depending on what’s necessary—must preferably and carefully be customized to accommodate the individual’s particular needs. Thankfully, such a consideration is not beyond the realm of possibility or reality, as long as those wanting or needing the customized set of multifocal contact lens first obtains a prescription from a licensed eye care specialist who can provide specs on what exactly is needed in terms of contact lens development.
The Frequency® toric contact lens, the most valuable because of the prevalence of Astigmatism throughout the world, provides detailed, well-defined images that otherwise would remain unattainable if not for the re-channeling of that oh-so very important refractive light. The Frequency® 55 toric contact lens and the Frequency® 55 toric XR lens are the same way, only that the latter offers a longer range cycle between lens changes. The typical cycle for the Frequency® 55 toric contact lenses is a month, with enough to cover an entire year.
Whatever the case may be, Frequency® takes care to make sure that ocular variations are available to those who needed enhancement in that way.
