Lens file: Rose K2 XL

Continuing our series looking at recently introduced specialist lenses, Neil Cox reviews the latest addition to the Rose K family for keratoconus and irregular corneas

Since its introduction to the UK market in 1997,1 the Rose K lens system, now part of the Menicon portfolio, has become the world’s most popularly prescribed range of contact lens designs for keratoconus and irregular corneas.

The latest addition to the range is the Rose K2 XL semi-scleral lens. Many cases of irregular cornea cannot be satisfactorily fitted with conventional or large diameter corneal lenses. Utilising a semi-scleral design provides stability and, in cases of poor tolerance to corneal diameter lenses, improved comfort.

The Rose K2 XL has been developed to address these cases and complement the current range. The fitting concept is consistent with the rest of the lenses in the Rose K family. The lens is available in the UK from David Thomas Contact Lenses.
