 | UltraVision was delighted with the large number of visitors to their stand at the BCLA this weekend. KeraSoft® IC, the new soft contact lens for all irregular corneas generated most interest. Folllowing Cristina Kenney's lecture on Friday morning, practitioners wanted to know all about how KeraSoft® IC can provide their irregular and keratoconic patients with a healthy alternative to RGP lenses.
UltraVision, featured its most popular products; KeraSoft® IC, UltraWave® SiH and their Multifocal range of contact lenses. J Keith Lomas, CEO, was thrilled with the amount of interest shown, 'KeraSoft IC was a particular draw to our stand this year. The Queen's Awards for Enterprise, along with the dedication and enthusiasm for a working alternative to GP lenses from the whole UltraVision team, have helped raise the profile of this revolutionary contact lens which has changed many patients' lives for the better.'
KeraSoft® IC is designed for all irregular corneas, including every level of Keratoconus and is now available in SiH and Hydrogel materials. The Queen's Awards for Enterprise: Innovation, the highest award that can be bestowed upon a UK company, was received by UltraVision specifically for its KeraSoft design in April this year. This is the second Queen's Award that UltraVision has received, the first being in 2006.
UltraVision's 15 minute Premium Exhibitor Presentation, led by Irregular Cornea and Keratoconus Consultant Lynn White MSc FCOptom, was extremely well attended. An insight was provided into the rationale behind KeraSoft® IC fittings and the life-changing effect this ground-breaking lens has on patients with Irregular Corneas and Keratoconus, who previously have been struggling with GP lenses.
With the use of video testimonials Lynn was able to demonstrate the full impact that KeraSoft® IC can have on Irregular cornea patients who have had their life turned around, , through the use of KeraSoft® IC lenses. You can view these videos, and full case studies, at www.kerasoft.co.uk.
