Tangent Streak®

The Tangent Streak family of GP lenses

The Tangent Streak Bifocal is an executive segmented bifocal featuring a distance portion in the upper half of the lens and a near segment in the lower portion of the lens. 

The Tangent Streak Trifocal is also a segmented translating design that includes an intermediate zone for arm’s length viewing. 

The Tangent Streak No Line is a back aspheric bifocal lens design. 

The Tangent Streak is ideal for:

  • Presbyopic patients with spherical distance needs greater than 1.00D
  • Virtually any amount of corneal astigmatism (toric and bitoric designs are available)
  • Lower lid within 1mm of the lower limbus
  • Moderate to tight lower lid tension
  • Crisp distance vision needs
  • Higher add powers (greater than +2.25D)
  • Previous visual difficulties with simultaneous vision
  • Soft bifocal failures
  • Patients with solid motivation and realistic expectations 

The Tangent Streak No Line is ideal for:

  • Presbyopic patients with spherical distance needs greater than 1.00D
  • Up to 3.00D of corneal astigmatism
  • Intermediate distance requirements
  • Monovision failures
  • Add powers up to +2.25D
  • Soft bifocal failures
