CooperVision announced the new clariti^® 1 day multifocal with Binocular Progressive System™ contact lenses, affirming its commitment to continuous innovation across its leading silicone hydrogel 1-day product families.

The upgraded lenses feature several next-generation enhancements to provide better vision¹ and high levels of comfort^2,3 for presbyopic patients, and an easy and successful fitting experience⁴ for eye care professionals (ECPs).

The product will debut in the United States this summer, with availability in other markets across the globe beginning in late 2024 and 2025.

“Year after year, clariti^® 1 day multifocal has been a popular choice among ECPs for presbyopes who need crisp vision⁵ and good comfort⁶ at a great value⁷. Through our deep expertise in multifocal optics and fitting, we saw an opportunity to take a great product and make it even better. Applying some of our latest innovations—including the same lens design introduced in the highly regarded MyDay^® multifocal⁷—elevates the performance of clariti^® 1 day multifocal and, ultimately, ECP and wearer satisfaction^{*† 8}.”

Simon Seshadri, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing & Life Cycle Management, CooperVision

The new clariti^® 1 day multifocal with Binocular Progressive System™maintains the features that ECPs and wearers know and love about the lens^9,10, then incorporates CooperVision’s advanced 3 Add multifocal system for improved visual acuity at all distances plus an upgraded edge design for increased comfort. CooperVision Binocular Progressive System^®—the innovative technology originally developed for the widely adopted MyDay^® multifocal prescription with two pairs of lenses or less.^11,12,13 contact lenses⁷—also provides a streamlined fitting process to make it easier for practitioners to fit patients with the right lens from the start¹¹. In a clinical study, a remarkable 98% of patients were fit with their final prescription with two pairs of lenses or less.^11,12,13

The full family of clariti^® 1 day lenses—sphere, toric, and multifocal—offer all-day comfort and feature great handling¹⁴ and high oxygen transmissibility¹⁵ (up to 3x the Dk/t of some hydrogel 1-day toric lenses), which allows for 100 percent corneal oxygen consumption to help maintain ocular health.^‡
