The only woman-owned and women-led contact lens company in the world – and manufacturer of:
because you’re unique.
You’re not mainstream – so why should your contact lenses be? They shouldn’t – which is why we don’t make lenses for the masses. Instead, we make them for individuals – like you.
When designing our lenses we cater to your specific needs. As a result, you will have a greatly improved wearing experience – comfortable contact lenses throughout the entire day.
Most contact lens manufacturers that you’re familiar with make lenses in one size. The problem with this is… one size does not fit all. This is why we make smaller and larger lenses. By doing this, doctors are able to get the right fit on your eye. This results in greatly improved comfort and clarity. The precise fit obtained with our lenses, along with our ultra-hydrating materials, is what makes Extreme H2O the gold standard for contact lens comfort.
