UltraVision launches Kerasoft

The Bedfordshire-based company says it will continue to supply innovative product ranges including multifocal toric lenses, and its Specialty Choice AB monthly disposable lens. UltraVision states that it has a strict policy of optician-only supply, aiming to keep its lenses out of non-traditional distribution channels. It adds that a new soft lens, Igel Kerasoft, is now available in the UK for patients who require a keratoconus fitting. The company states that the lens offers a level of visual acuity which is comparable with that provided by a rigid lens, but with the advantages of comfort and positional stability of a soft lens. With 58 per cent water content, it adds that the lens is made from non-ionic material and features an UV filter.

It says this will include lens types not covered by its present system, such as coloured and prosthetic lenses.
