These ocular devices, designed for vision correction, are manufactured without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. This distinguishes them from conventional varieties that may incorporate these chemicals during production or as part of their material composition. This ensures that no fluorinated organic compound contain multiple fluorine atoms attached to an alkyl carbon chain.
The avoidance of these substances in the creation of lenses is significant due to growing concerns about the potential health and environmental impacts associated with their presence. There are also benefits include reducing potential eye irritation and promoting better overall eye health by eliminating exposure to chemicals of concern.
