VERSAFLEX 55/BIOMEDICS 55 BY OCULAR SCIENCE SAME CONTACTS. SAME MANUFACTURER. DIFFERENT PACKAGINGThe Versaflex 55 is a private label contact lens marketed under a variety of different brand names. Regardless of the brand name, the contact lenses are exactly the same, the only difference is the packaging. This makes comparison shopping more difficult, but given the sheer number of names available, we only carry the more popular Biomedics brand name.The manufacturer of this lens, Ocular Sciences, markets to eye care providers under the guise that they do not sell their lenses to direct-to-consumer companies like Lensworld. Eye care providers can be influenced by this type of marketing by prescribing this lens on the basis of its distribution policy versus the performance merits of the lens.Further, Ocular Sciences produces this same lens under many different names in many different packages. The lenses are the same, just the packaging is different. Several examples of different branded packages include: Biomedics, Versaflex, Ultraflex, Sofmed, Polysoft, Perspecta, and many others. The result; it makes it more difficult for you to comparison shop - which is precisely why some eye care providers choose to prescribe this lens.The United States Congress realized that this was a potential source of confusion for you as a consumer and as a result dealt with it specifically in the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumer Act signed into law by President Bush on December 6, 2003. In essence, the Act allows sellers to substitute lenses that are identical and made by the same manufacturer such as the various brands marketed by Ocular Sciences.
