Safilens Introduces ‘Delivery Ribo’

Safilens expands its innovative product range with Delivery Ribo, a state-of-the-art contact lens designed for users who spend extended periods in front of digital screens. With the release of Lachryceuticals®, Delivery Ribo aims to reduce eye fatigue and protect the cornea, crystalline lens, and retina from harmful HEV light. In daily life, high-energy visible (HEV) light emitted by the sun and digital devices penetrates deeper than UV rays, causing collagen and elastin breakdown and leading to photoaging. Prolonged exposure has been linked to an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which can result in central vision loss. Safilens General Manager Daniele Bazzocchi stated, “We are focused on developing more functional and effective contact lenses that help protect eye health in today’s digital lifestyle. Digital devices have become an integral part of our lives, but continuous exposure can cause eye strain, dryness, and sleep disturbances. As digital usage continues to grow, it is crucial to take conscious steps to safeguard our long-term eye health.”
