    Dear all,
    Please Note that Biomedics 55 is used for 1-2 weeks if the lens used on extended wear schedule (6 continuous days and nights) and for 1 month if it was used on daily wear schedule (12 hours per day). And now Biomedics 55 is replaced by Biomedics 55 evolution; BIOMEDICS 55 Evolution gives improved comfort and offers a unique 'Aberration Neutralising System TM.'
    With all the best features from the Biomedics 55 maintained in the BIOMEDICS 55 Evolution; the lens continues to have excellent fit and handling.
    The superb improvements seen in the BIOMEDICS 55 Evolution sees the introduction of an "aberration free" system that not only works to eradicate the aberrations inherent to the contact lens but uniquely works to neutralise spherical aberrations of the eye. This lens therefore delivers clearer, crisper, sharper vision.
