A Breakthrough Soft Lens for Keratoconus!
If you’re looking for a new approach to keratoconus that
offers the comfort of a soft lens; custom parameters, including
cylinder correction to -10.00D; and the kind of straightforward
fitting not found in hybrids, The new NovaKone™ soft
lens for keratoconus is it.
While NovaKone lenses can be a
viable solution for all stages of keratoconus, they’re
effective for patients with more advanced conditions,
those who have failed to tolerate GPs, or who have been
unsuccessful with hybrid and scleral lenses.
The NovaKone
contact lens has a posterior design that neutralizes irregular
astigmatism, and a front surface design to correct for regular
astigmatism. The lens features Dual Elliptical Stabilization for
rotational stability.

This remarkable new lens
offers:
• A higher level of comfort than most GP or hybrid
lenses can deliver
• Excellent visual outcomes
• A
straightforward fitting approach
• The option of quarterly
replacement
Designed For
Success.
NovaKone is designed specifically for the
keratoconic eye, with advanced design features and flexible parameters
that offers incredible precise fitting control such as: |
 |
|
• A central base
curve optimized for precise optical alignment over the steep central
cornea
• Variable lens center thickness (IT Factor) to neutralize
almost any irregular astigmatism
• The proprietary Dual Elliptical
Stabilization™ and cylinder powers to -10.00D offers precise
residual astigmatism
• An independent para-central fitting curve to
assure excellent lens movement and physical fit
|
| |
(A)
The posterior surface of the lens includes a
steep central base curve which is intended to match the average
central K reading of the keratoconic eye.
(B) The
fitting curve is similar in design to the base curve of a
standard soft lens and is intended to ensure good lens movement
and fit.
(C)
The anterior surface has an aspheric central
optical section to correct spherical aberration and a
thinner lenticular flange to maximize oxygen permeability. |
|
 |
|
(D)
The IT (Index of Thickness) Factor describes the central
thickness of the lensand effectively manages differing levels of
corneal irregularity.
(E) Residual astigmatism up to -10.00D
is corrected by front surface cylinder optics.
(F) Dual
Elliptical Stabilization™ is employed to ensure excellent
orientation and rotational stability.

Indications
•
NovaKone soft lenses for keratoconus are indicated for visual correction
for patients with keratoconus and pellucid marginal
degeneration.
• NovaKone can be successful to address
cases where GP, hybrid, and scleral lenses have failed or are otherwise
contraindicated.
• NovaKone offers extraordinary comfort and can be an
excellent adjunct to other forms of correction. |
