introduction

Cantor & Nissel manufactures and supplies the largest available range of contact lenses in the world.
Use the categories shown on the right to find out more about our products.

The 'remote theoretical risk' of transmitting vCJD through contact lenses created something of a dilemma among practitioners used to relying on diagnostic lenses in order to assess best fit and prescription for a potential rigid lens patient. It also created a resistance to prescribe a product that could not first be tried when tolerance and suitability are so critical.

Single Use Trial Lenses
The Cantor & Nissel initiative to supply single-use trial sets in PMMA to a practitioner's preferred design has ensured consistency - and even an upsurge - in the RGP market.

Our free trial set policy means that the busy practitioner can continue to perform trials as before, but with single-use lenses. These can be promoted as a benefit - presented to the patient in sterile, sealed, condition and disposed of after use. Each set is accompanied by a supply of re-order forms for replacement of the single-use lenses as they are disposed of. Our RGP lenses all carry the right to up to two free exchanges if required and there is a 75% credit if the patient eventually discontinues. The single-use trial set does, however, largely remove the risk of eventual incompatibility.

Single-use trial sets are supplied principally in our market-leading Oxyflex 4F and Metr02 designs ex-stock. They can also be produced for you in the traditional Oxyflex design or in any design of your choice which we will then be pleased to reproduce for you for your Rx requirements.
