This supply contract is required to support the Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) for Vision VTICM5 Lenses for surgical procedures This lens is being used for the deploying warfighter because of the minimal surgical cut to the eye allowing quicker healing time than other types of lenses which is critical for a deploying warfighter. The 100 percent pure collagen copolymer lens material is not viewed by the body as a foreign object by the body’s immune system which makes it biocompatible. Unlike traditional contact lens, once the VTICM lenses is implanted in the eye, there is no additional maintenance needed. The VTICM is designed to be permanently placed in the eye; however, the lens can be removed if the patient’s vision changes or if it otherwise needs to be removed or replaced.
