Art Keratoconic System®

The Art Keratoconic System (AKS) features a simplified approach to keratoconic lens fitting through adaptive design and optical zone control. We believe that no single lens design is successful with every type of keratoconus patient. Therefore, our philosophy is that each case should be fit according to the shape and position of the cone and AKS meets those needs. 

This system is a practical means of managing keratoconus patients according to their specific needs through the use of corneal topography or loaner fitting sets.

AKS Boston Envision is for the emerging or moderate keratoconic cornea.

AKS Standard Design is used in advanced cases of keratoconus with primary Ks between 47.00D to 53.00D.

AKS Extended Range Design is the lens of choice in cases with primary Ks steeper than 53.00D.
