Bausch + Lomb Corporation announced the US launch of Arise, a lens fitting system that uses intelligent, cloud-based technology to streamline the orthokeratology (ortho-k) lens design process. Arise seamlessly syncs directly with topographers to create precise lens designs in seconds to treat myopia. These lenses include the first ortho-k lens design with toric peripheral curves approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat myopia overnight.

According to the company, 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.

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 D with eyes having astigmatism up to 1.50 D. The lenses may only be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system.

Arise is now commercially available in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
