ADVANCED VISION TECHNOLOGIES LAUNCHES NATURALENS MINI-SCLERAL

Advanced Vision Technologies (AVT) recently launched its Naturalens Mini-Scleral lens, which AVT says is a novel, simplified approach to fitting scleral lenses. The diameter range is 13.8mm to 15.4mm, which is easier to handle for many patients who are not comfortable with application/removal of full-size sclerals, according to AVT.

The company says that the Naturalens Mini-Scleral offers a thinner profile that, combined with the smaller diameter, enables more oxygen exchange compared to full-size sclerals. Multifocal, front toric, and toric peripheral curve designs are all available. The lens can be made in any material but includes the Hydra-PEG (Tangible Science) coating only when manufactured in Optimum (Contamac) materials.

AVT says that a trial set is available but not required to fit the Naturalens Mini-Scleral; elevation topography, Ks, and the Rx are all that is needed. The Naturalens Mini-Scleral is warranted 100% with the SimpleFIT Warranty.
