Bausch + Lomb Launches Arise Orthokeratology Lens System in U.S.

Bausch + Lomb has launched its Arise orthokeratology lens fitting system in the U.S. Arise uses intelligent, cloud-based tech to streamline the orthokeratology lens design process.

It syncs with topographers, diagnostic tools that capture 3D images of the eye. This helps to create precise lens designs in second to treat myopia, according to the company. The lenses includes the first orthokeratology lens design with toric peripheral curves approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat myopia overnight.

Arise leverages advanced algorithms to instantly interpret corneal topography images and recommend lens designs in seconds without requiring a fitting set. It’s designed for lens fitters of any experience level and evaluates lens centration and patient progress using an overnight outcome map library—recommending adjustments after overnight wear, if needed.

The cloud-based platform also allows secure access to patient data from anywhere as well as direct support from the Bausch + Lomb expert consultation team.

“Traditional orthokeratology lens fitting methods can be complex and time-consuming,” said Yang Yang, president, Global Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb. “The Arise platform’s streamlined fitting process will reduce chair time† and increase efficiency for eye care professionals.”

“Arise combines all aspects of the orthokeratology process—from topography capture to lens design and more—into one seamless, user-friendly technology,” added Brooke Messer, OD, FAAO, FSLS, Vance Thompson Vision, West Fargo, North Dakota. “The ease and precision of Arise will be a welcome addition to my practice.”

Last month, Bausch + Lomb  launched its enVista Aspire monofocal and toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) in the European Union.
