The team at Qirx have been a core component of the Warm Contact Pty Limited project. Warm contact is a lens warming device that reduces lens awareness and increases patient comfort during the contact lens fitting process by warming the lenses to body temperature just prior to insertion of the lens onto the eye.

Research has shown that warming lenses to body temperature (or the temperature of the Cornea) results in increased comfort, faster visual acuity, less tearing, lower lens rigidity during insertion and a feeling by lens wearers of "Inserting something less foreign" onto the eye.

Results from market research indicate that there are a number of benefits to contact lens wearers of raising the temperature of their lenses from ambient temperature to body temperature prior to fitting. Wearers found that there was significantly less in situ lens awareness immediately after insertion compared to fitting room temperature lenses.

The Company has offices in Canberra and Sydney and our team have expertise in the areas of electronics engineering, aerospace engineering and medical technology.

Warm Contact is led by Dr Peter Spencer, a global healthcare technology specialist.  The company continues to develop innovative approaches to solving eye care problems which compliment current contact lens and solutions brands while also creating additional value for our partners.
