KeraSoft is a patented range of soft and silicone hydrogel contact lenses designed to manage the condition of irregular corneas including keratoconus. They are marketed as an alternative to rigid gas-permeable lenses, offering improved comfort and longer wearing times.[1]
Overview
[edit]The KeraSoft range is designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom by UltraVision CLPL. In April 2010, The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation was awarded to UltraVision CLPL specifically for KeraSoft.[2]
KeraSoft lenses are fitted and dispensed by optometrists and opticians in hospital departments, private and high street practices. Ophthalmologists are using the lenses both pre and post-operatively, following cross-linking surgery and as a safer and longer-term solution than corneal transplants.[3]
On 28 January 2011, Bausch & Lomb announced it had completed a global licensing agreement with UltraVision CLPL for KeraSoft.[4]
