KeraSoft IC principles

It makes astigmatism more regular
Balanced central thickness
Does not rely on increasing central thickness to mask astigmatism
Fit is related to the mid periphery rather than the cone
Periphery of the lens acts as a stable framework
This supports the central optic and prevents it from replicating corneal distortion
Maintains enough flexibility to fully drape and minimise pooling of tears under the lens

KeraSoft IC customisation

Flat peripheries for nipple cones
Steep peripheries for post surgical cases
Sector Management Control allows localised periphery adjustment

Managing the keratoconic patient with KeraSoft IC

When refitting from RGPs into KeraSoft IC, wearers may require a period of “de-moulding” before their cornea settles. This may effect the KeraSoft IC fit and prescription. Guidance is given below on how to manage these patients.

The advent of Corneal Collagen Cross Linking has meant changes in the way keratoconus patients are managed. It can benefit the patient, in terms of required time without lens wear, to be fitted with KeraSoft IC before and after this procedure.

Advice and case studies are provided in the links below.
