Alden Optical has released NovaKone contact lenses, the company’s first lens for patients with keratoconus. The lens uses a new soft lens design for easy fitting and comfort, which the company says makes it a good lens option for patients who cannot tolerate gas permeable (GP) contact 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 on the cornea.
Alden Optical is a manufacturer of custom and specialty soft and GP contact lenses.
