Menicon Z

Menicon Z

Innovative material and design
As the result of many years of research and development, Menicon has succeeded in developing new materials and designs for gas permeable lenses. Menicon Z doesn’t only have hyper gas permeability but also excellent wettability thereby offering all wearers the benefits of long-term corneal health, vision and comfort.
 
Chemical breakthrough
Lenses made in Menicon Z material can provide superior visual correction and is excellent for patients with astigmatism. It combines novel polymer components that increase the material strength and stability.

This chemical structure results in excellent mechanical properties, allowing the lens to be made significantly thinner than a typical rigid gas permeable lens. Historically, the strength of gas permeable materials would decrease as oxygen permeability increased. However, Menicon has worked to create a new material with both enhanced strength and hyper oxygen permeability Which allows for lenses to be made thinner and improves comfort.

This new polymer is composed of a novel siloxanylstyrene, fluoromethacrylate, and benzotriazol UV absorber.
