CYNACON/OCuSOFT® is pleased to announce availability of OPTIMUM by Lobob® Laboratories RGP Starter Kits. This patent-pending kit, which combines OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub, results from practitioner case reports where the introduction of improved lid hygiene led to increased contact lens wearer comfort. This, according to OCuSOFT's president, Cynthia L. Barratt. Ms. Barratt states, "OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub has become increasingly used in conjunction with contact lens wear. OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub effectively removes oil, debris and desquamated skin which can lead to irritation. Such irritation and discomfort is exacerbated with contact lens wear," Ms. Barratt concluded.

OPTIMUM's combination of cleaning, disinfecting, and storage (C/D/S) solution provides a new choice for practitioners seeking comfort and convenience for their patients. Lobob Laboratories founder and President, Dr. Robert Lohr, states, "OPTIMUM by Lobob® represents the newest advance in RGP solutions care. We are excited to be working with CYNACON/OCuSOFT® and look forward to a growing professional relationship."

Nat Adkins, OCuSOFT's chairman, is equally excited. "In conversations with leading eye care professionals including James Key, M.D., Past President of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmology (CLAO), it was agreed that more patients need to be made aware of the importance of lid hygiene in improved contact lens wearer comfort. We at CYNACON/OCuSOFT®, feel this patent-pending kit will achieve that", Adkins concluded. OPTIMUM by Lobob® Wetting and Rewetting Drop provides superior cushioning while Extra-Strength Cleanser is available for stubborn deposits.
