ATLANTA—X-Cel Specialty Contacts has added a new Extreme H20 Daily lens to their product line. The lens is the only one-day disposable contact lens available in three diameter options: 13.6, 14.2 and 14.8, enabling practitioners to get a precise fit on patients, the company said.

According to the company, 27 percent of patients that have an HVID that falls outside of the average range of 11.3 to 12.3 would benefit from smaller or larger diameter contact lenses.

“For kids, the smaller diameter is much easier to insert and remove, which helps alleviate morning struggles with putting their lenses in,” said X-Cel vice president and general manager, Derrell James. “The 14.8 diameter is more stable on the eye and less likely to decenter or fall out during sports activities.”

Extreme H2O Daily is made with Hioxiflcon A, a non-ionic ultra-hydrating material that retains 99 percent of its water content while in use, stabilizing lens comfort, movement and fit. Available parameters in all diameters are: +0.50 to +6.00 and -0.50 to -10.00.

X-Cel Contacts, a Walman Company, is a specialty contact lens manufacturer with branches throughout the U.S., and a strong presence in Latin America.
