Problem
Custom contact lens wearers often experience discomfort, dryness, deposits, and fogging, which can lead to irritation and vision obscuration. These issues arise from the disruption of the tear film and the accumulation of debris on the lens surface.
Solution
Tangible Science offers a range of contact lens care products and coating technology designed to improve the lens-wearing experience. Their products focus on creating a biocompatible, hydrated lens surface using a polymer-based coating called Tangible Hydra-PEG. This coating mimics the eye's natural surface, reducing discomfort, dryness, deposits, and fogging on Scleral, RGP, and Hybrid contact lenses. Tangible Science provides solutions for cleaning, disinfecting, rinsing, storing, and conditioning lenses, as well as a sterile saline solution for filling scleral lenses before application.
Target Audience
The primary customers are individuals who wear custom contact lenses, including Scleral, RGP, and Hybrid lenses, and experience issues such as discomfort, dryness, deposits, or fogging.
