Bausch + Lomb announced the US launch of Arise, a lens fitting system that uses intelligent, cloud-based technology to streamline the orthokeratology lens design process. Arise seamlessly syncs directly with topographers—diagnostic tools that capture 3-D images of the eye—to create precise lens designs in seconds to treat myopia. These lenses include the first orthokeratology lens design with toric peripheral curves* approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat myopia overnight, the company said in a press release.

“Traditional orthokeratology lens fitting methods can be complex and time-consuming,” said Yang Yang, president, Global Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb, in the press release. “The Arise platform’s streamlined fitting process will reduce chair time† and increase efficiency for eyecare professionals.”

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.

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