Nutravision
Dry eye is a chronic cycle involving inflammation, nerve hypersensitivity, and ocular surface damage, requiring more than just lubricating drops for lasting relief.

These bioactives promote tear film stability, reduce oxidative stress, and support corneal nerve function. Nutravision offers a systemic approach to long-term dry eye relief and ocular health, especially for patients experiencing age-related changes, menopause-associated dryness, or screen-induced fatigue.

Medmont
The versatile Medmont Meridia Pro supports dry eye assessment and management – without compromising topography quality. With advanced anterior imaging and analysis tools, it provides detailed views of the tear film and ocular surface to assist in evaluating dry eye and monitoring changes over time.
Key features include high-resolution meibography, tear meniscus height measurement, non-invasive tear break-up time, and fluorescein imaging and video. Specialty lens expert Dr Jillian Campbell of Richard Lindsay and Associates in Victoria said, “I love using the meibography to take photos of the glands and then the machine generates these excellent grading reports that you can show to the patient. It’s great for educational purposes, showing what type of dry eye they have and the reason for their symptoms.”
The Meridia Pro delivers limbus-to-limbus topography with real data at the periphery, helping meet the demands of custom lens fitting, including orthokeratology.
Its compact footprint and all-in-one functionality help streamline clinical workflows without compromising performance.
