Italy welcomes speciality lens

Ultravision’s Kerasoft IC contact lens for irregular corneas was launched into the Italian market recently at a Congresso di Monopoli event.

Ultravison said over 250 practitioners from all over Italy attended the conference, which had a focus on speciality contact lenses.

During the event, Ultravision clinical director Lyn White and Dr Lynette Johns, clinical and educational consultant for Bausch + Lomb presented a joint workshop with live patient fittings. Post-graft and RGP wearing patients were fitted with Kerasoft IC lenses, which the company said created a lot of interest among practitioners, who placed orders for trial sets at the event.
