Workshops and Award makes for a special year for UltraVision

Published: 13 July 2010

2010 is a special year for UltraVision; in April the Leighton Buzzard based contact lens manufacturer received The Queen's Awards for Enterprise: Innovation, specifically for KeraSoft^® as well as launching a series of KeraSoft^® IC Workshops, being held at their Leighton Buzzard head office.

The popular one day workshops are led by UltraVision's in-house Clinical Services Advisor, Josie Barlow SMC (Tech) FBDO CL. Added support is provided by experienced Keratoconus and Irregular Cornea Consultant, Lynn White MSc FCOptom.

Open to Practitioners in the UK and abroad the KeraSoft^® Workshop provides guidance to delegates, enabling them to confidently assess the Keratoconic and irregular cornea patients' eyes. In-depth discussion about the lens design, along with the chance to fit real patients, provides the Practitioner with the ability to quickly achieve the best fitting lenses, and thereby provide life-changing benefits to the wearer.

Patients suffering with all types of Irregular Cornea can now be fitted with a soft contact lens that is comfortable from the offset and provides comparable vision to that of a rigid lens, providing up to 18 hours of wear every day. Patients who find their quality of life affected by reduced wearing times with other lens types, are able to return to a normal lifestyle with KeraSoft® IC.

For any practitioner wishing to attend the KeraSoft^® IC Workshop, please click here for more information, or contact UltraVision on Freephone 0800 585115.
