KeraSoft® IC

KeraSoft IC is a completely customizable soft lens design for healthy management of Keratoconus and most Irregular Cornea conditions.  Made exclusively in the Definitive Silicone Hydrogel 74% water content material, this lens is for quarterly replacement.

It is intended for:

  • All stages of Keratoconus
  • Pellucid Marginal Degeneration
  • Post Corneal Surgery
  • Post LASIK Ectasia
  • Natural Ectasia

A Diagnostic 8-lens Fitting Set is essential to the fitting process of the KeraSoft IC lens. Although various instruments can be used to understand the central corneal shape, they give limited information relating to the cornea scleral junction and beyond. Thus, it is not possible to fit the lens empirically from topography maps or other measurements.

When selecting the initial Fitting Lens, determine the corneal type and shape using the Corneal Shape Recognition and Corneal Profile Charts along with the Initial Lens Selection Chart, included in your fitting set.

A successful fitting KeraSoft IC lens is based on observing the characteristics of the lens behavior on eye using the MoRoCCo VA technique; Movement, Rotation, Centration, Comfort and Visual Acuity.  All of these characteristics are related to each other and have EQUAL importance when assessing the fit on an irregular cornea.

When ordering KeraSoft IC, please provide the following:

  • Base Curve
  • Diameter
  • Periphery (STD, STP or FLT)
  • Power of Fitting Lens
  • Over refraction
  • BVD of all lenses (including all cylinder lenses)
  • Laser mark rotation and direction

KeraSoft IC Fit Assessment

The Kerasoft IC Fit Assessment Chart describes the five MoRoCCo fitting characteristics that are used to assess the fit of a KeraSoft IC lens. The chart shows three fitting ′zones′; green, which describes optimal fit characteristics; yellow, which explains which characteristics are sub-optimal and red, which identifies the characteristics of a very poor fit.
