Bausch + Lomb has announced the US launch of Arise, a lens fitting system that uses intelligent, cloud-based technology to aid in the orthokeratology lens design process. Arise is capable of syncing directly with topographers to create precise lens designs for the treatment of myopia in the matter of seconds. The system also utilizes the first orthokeratology lens design with toric peripheral curves approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat myopia overnight, according to a news release.

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

Arise works by utilizing advanced algorithms to interpret corneal topography images and recommends lens designs without a fitting set required. The system evaluates lens centration and patient progress by using an overnight outcome map library and recommends any adjustments needed following overnight wear. Arise’s cloud-based platform also allows secure access to patient data and provides direct support from the Bausch + Lomb expert consultation team. The system is designed for lens fitters of all experience levels.

“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, of Vance Thompson Vision in West Fargo, North Dakota, in the release. “The ease and precision of Arise will be a welcome addition to my practice.”

Arise is now commercially available in the US, the UK, and Europe.

The Boston orthokeratology (oprifocon A) shaping lenses for overnight wear available with Arise are indicated for use in reduction of myopic refractive error in non-diseased eyes. The lenses can be used in 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.
