VAUGHN, Ontario, Canada — Bausch + Lomb has officially launched its orthokeratology lens, Arise, in the United States.
The lens fitting system uses intelligent, cloud-based technology to streamline the OrthoK lens design process. Arise seamlessly syncs directly with topographers — diagnostic tools that capture 3D images of the eye — to create precise lens designs in seconds to treat myopia. These lenses include the first OrthoK lens design with toric peripheral curves* approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat myopia overnight.
“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.”
Engineered for precision and speed, Arise uses advanced algorithms to instantly interpret corneal topography images and recommend lens designs in seconds — no fitting set required. It is designed for lens fitters of all experience levels and efficiently evaluates lens centration and patient progress using its overnight outcome map library, recommending adjustments following overnight wear, if needed. Additionally, the cloud-based platform allows secure access to patient data from anywhere and direct support from the Bausch + Lomb expert consultation team.
“Arise combines all aspects of the orthokeratology process — from topography capture to lens design and more — into one seamless, user-friendly technology,” said 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.”
Arise is now commercially available in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
Boston Orthokeratology (oprifocon A) shaping lenses for overnight wear are indicated for use in the reduction of myopic refractive error in non-diseased eyes. The lenses are indicated for overnight wear as part of the Bausch + Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment VST process for the temporary reduction of myopia up to 5.00 diopters with eyes having astigmatism up to 1.50 diopters. The lenses may only be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system.
*Based on clinical study data
†Based on survey results from 13 eye care professionals who accessed and utilized the system.
