Chapter 122: Counterattack
Not all eyewear manufacturers have top giants like Zeiss behind them. Many of them only focus on glasses, or the profits of glasses themselves cannot be ignored by the company!
Bio-Pharma, Bausch & Lomb, and Johnson & Johnson are giant companies in this field.
After discovering the material of Umbrella's lenses, I was completely stunned and couldn't sleep all night. How could there be such a material in the world?
People in the research department were nervous, and so were the people at the top level.
"The top-quality materials that are generally used nowadays are silicone hydrogels. How can resins reach such a level?"
Silicone hydrogel is a copolymer hydrogel that increases oxygen permeability by adding silicon compound monomers, ensuring that contact lenses have both high oxygen permeability and high moisturizing properties. At the same time, it has all the advantages required of contact lenses, and has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in comfort!
However, silicone hydrogel also has its own disadvantages. Because the silicone with high solubility in oxygen is hydrophobic in itself, it will cause dry and uncomfortable eyes, so an ultra-thin ionized protective layer will be coated on the surface. In addition, protein precipitation, corneal anastomosis and possible deformation, etc., make the service life of this type of glasses not long.
Not to mention anti-fouling and the like! The automatic calibration is even more like a myth!
The material itself cannot have all the advantages at the same time!
Just in the first half of this year, Visionox launched a daily-disposable glasses made of the latest materials in Europe, and is also researching its use in bandage glasses. After eye-related surgeries, the glasses can produce a bandage-like effect to reinforce wounds and accelerate recovery. Although this may cause some discomfort to the eyes, the longest wearing time is already over twenty days!
These are their technological innovations and killer weapons, their foundation, and at the same time, their limit!
But the result...
Umbrella jumped out and said, I want them all!
All the advantages, all the features, and even all the markets...
What can I do? The gap in strength is so big, how can I win?
Give up profits? You can’t!
For those manufacturers who derive a considerable proportion of their profits from the eyewear market, as well as some private hospitals specializing in corrective surgery and various stakeholders, another approach was taken at this time.
Slander!
The quality is definitely not comparable! They are not of the same dimension!
When your own interests are facing huge losses, even bankruptcy, or even being expelled from the industry, and all the goods in your hands have to be sold, it is basic to protect your own interests by any means.
It's just a foreign factory with no background!
After Umbrella's A1 glasses became popular, some comments also began to ferment.
"Irresponsible and unscrupulous manufacturers use some gimmicks to deceive consumers!"
"How can you wear contact lenses like this?"
“This kind of advertisement is really vicious!”
"They don't care about the health of consumers, they just want money!"
"Nowadays, silicone hydrogel daily disposable glasses are the most comfortable!"
Many people have also shared their own experiences, using many high-sounding terms to explain the benefits of some of the glasses currently on the market, and said that they have been tested in the market and recognized by consumers.
At the same time, some experts with various certifications as ophthalmologists from private hospitals also jumped out and used various medical academic terms throughout their articles to describe the dangers of long-term wearing of contact lenses. In any case, it made people feel confused and powerful at first glance.
Ordinary people still have trust in doctors, and what they say is indeed correct, they just replaced some concepts and did not mention the effects of Umbrella's lenses.
Anyway, for interest groups, as long as they can drag public opinion into a tug-of-war, they win!
It can turn a total defeat into a half defeat.
There will always be someone who believes in them, and they'll make money if they do.
In fact, many industries are like this. Products that have been eliminated and have obvious side effects are still hyped up for their own benefit.
Anyway, if you believe in one, you believe in it. As for whether it is really good or bad, or even safety, life or death, it doesn’t matter. It’s all about profit…
…
At this time, Wang Yi had already flown to the Academy of Sciences again.
"Senior, you are very free, how is your study going?"
Wang Yi and Qian Yayan walked side by side on the campus of their alma mater. Today, Qian Yayan was wearing a professional OL outfit, a red bow tie, a hip skirt and black stockings, which matched perfectly.
"Not bad. How about I do an internship with you?"
Qian Yayan asked tentatively.
Although she had been defeated before, she had tried her best, and even left the small bow tie hanging in a key position, which was quite visually impactful.
"Of course, no problem. If your internship performance is good, you can stay."
Wang Yi would not refuse such care. Although the company is recruiting new employees now, it is still quite short of staff.
Although Lin Shiqin is in charge, if the senior is also capable of taking the lead, such as in some press conferences and corporate business, she can also come forward to support the event.
Of course, the premise is that Qian Yayan's ability can pass Lin Shiqin's test. Otherwise, she can just serve tea and water to herself, just like a vase...
Lin Shiqin came to test Qian Yayan, there was no such thing as letting her off.
However, the senior is a serious top student, so as long as she has the right attitude, it will not be a problem to pass.
"That's what you said!"
Qian Yayan patted Wang Yi's back happily.
"Okay, if you don't leave I feel like I'm going to get beaten."
Wang Yi said playfully.
I have to say that Qian Yayan is quite good-looking, and her clothing style is pure and sexy, which makes her quite eye-catching when she walks on the street.
"Tsk, you sound like you cared about me when we were dating before."
Pursing her lips in disdain, Qian Yayan quickened her pace a little and then brought Wang Yi to the experimental building.
I headed towards an office and entered. There was a professor wearing glasses drinking tea and reading some documents. He looked up when he heard the door open.
"Oh, the pride of our Academy of Sciences is back. To be honest, this is the first time I, an old man, have officially met you."
The old man put down his teacup with a smile, straightened up the somewhat scattered documents on the table, shook them a few times, and then stood up.
"Hello, Professor Chen. After all, we were not in our department before, so it's normal that we don't communicate much. We don't know each other anymore."
Wang Yi always maintains sufficient courtesy towards these old professors. This professor is a second-level professor specializing in polymer materials. He has been researching in this field for many years and has many research results.
Maybe we can go even further in the future.
"Good boy, you are really good at talking. But before, I was really embarrassed to ask you, but this time, since I need your help, I will ask you for help in the experiments in the future. You can't refuse, Professor Wang."
Professor Chen had a very good impression of Wang Yi. He had achieved amazing academic results at a young age and was also very polite.
"Of course, no problem. I can also learn new things, which is what I want."
"Let's go to the lab and tell me what you want to test."
Professor Chen wiped his glasses and walked ahead with a smile.
"It's like this. This time I want to trouble Professor Chen to test a contact lens. The main reason is that I have previously cooperated with this company on some drug experimental data, but now they are bragging about this lens. I would like to ask you to test it. If this company's bragging is unreliable, then I will refuse in the future..."
Wang Yi slowly explained the reason.
"Professor Wang is right to be cautious. Nowadays, some unscrupulous laboratories like to cheat honest mathematicians like you. If the experiment itself is not done well, it will also affect you."
Professor Chen nodded in agreement, and almost said, "My experiment is a good experiment."
"The lenses you mentioned are not reliable just from the description you gave them in the advertisement. Resins, whether natural or artificial, cannot live up to the magical properties you say they do. But Professor Wang is a math and computer scientist, so it's normal that he doesn't know these things."
Although Professor Chen said this, he did not stop and his legs were very nimble.
“So are we still testing now?”
"Test, why not? Although this is true based on experience and theory, scientific research is about continuous exploration. We must try if there is a possibility. If we fail, we can regard it as eliminating the wrong option."
Professor Chen took it for granted.
He is a scientific researcher of the older generation, and these ideas are ingrained in their bones.
so……
…
"Go call the infirmary."
Wang Yi continued to perform chest compressions on Professor Chen, with a dead-eye expression on his face.
Professor, please don't mess with me.
This is just me being there. If you change the nurse or something, you will probably die immediately.
Although Wang Yi was performing chest compressions, Professor Chen was actually too excited and his blood pressure rose, causing a burst blood vessel. Normally speaking, his rescue was almost like murder.
However, he used magic power to directly control the situation, and is now channeling his spirit into his body to help with the detailed conditioning, just pretending to provide a cover.
By the time the people from the infirmary arrive, the patient will be almost awake and just need to have a good rest for a few days.
It also helped regulate my blood vessels, so I won’t get sick so easily next time…
At first, what the old man said made a lot of sense, but when it happened to him, it became like this.
It's just a lens, not...
