 | 2010 is a special year for UltraVision; in April the Leighton Buzzard based contact lens manufacturer received The Queen's Awards for Enterprise: Innovation, specifically for KeraSoft® as well as launching a series of KeraSoft® IC Workshops, being held at their Leighton Buzzard head office.
The popular one day workshops are led by UltraVision's in-house Clinical Services Advisor, Josie Barlow SMC (Tech) FBDO CL. Added support is provided by experienced Keratoconus and Irregular Cornea Consultant, Lynn White MSc FCOptom.
Open to Practitioners in the UK and abroad the KeraSoft® Workshop provides guidance to delegates, enabling them to confidently assess the Keratoconic and irregular cornea patients' eyes. In-depth discussion about the lens design, along with the chance to fit real patients, provides the Practitioner with the ability to quickly achieve the best fitting lenses, and thereby provide life-changing benefits to the wearer.
Historically, rigid lenses have been used to correct irregular corneas. However, some patients experience reduced wearing time due to lack of comfort or ocular health issues. This can have an adverse impact on their quality of life. Patients suffering with all types of Irregular Cornea can now choose a soft contact lens that is comfortable from the offset and provides comparable vision to that of a rigid lens, providing up to 18 hours of wear every day.
For any practitioner wishing to attend the KeraSoft® IC Workshop, please visit www.kerasoft.co.uk, or contact UltraVision on Freephone 0800 585115. |
