Boston Absolute rgp

[Ray Parent]

Anyone ever heard of this? Had a patient come in with this noted on some records that were faxed over to me. The lab I usually order from had never heard of this so I was hoping someone here might be familiar with it.

Thanks

Ray

Ask B&L/Boston/Polymer Technologies.

Had a question on B&L Sport~Sun lenses. Appearently on Nike website but B&L reps know nothing, after rep made seveal calls it turns out that Nike/B&L doing prototype and one (1) baseball player is wearing them.

There was also something on MSN news last week about the Nike contact lens, but I can't seem to find it now.

Edit: I found it: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3559064

Boston = contact lens manufacturer
RGP = rigid gas permeable

Ray,

I'm not sure if this is the same design, but hope it helps:

I wouldn't surprised if that's what it is MLM, thanks for the link. I had a feeling it was probably some sort of proprietary design.
