Blanchard Contact Lenses has released a new scleral lens design, called Onefit MED, that simplifies fitting for numerous applications.

The Onefit MED has a diameter of 15.6 mm and is fully customizable for the irregular, medically indicated cornea as well as healthy corneas, according to a press release from the company.

Eye care practitioners can customize the lens by setting parameters for central, midperipheral, limbal and edge zones. The new lens comes with an online fitting tool to make customizing and ordering the lenses easier.

“Our mission is to constantly advance the contact lens industry with innovative designs that provide solutions for both present and future eye care needs, and I feel confident that Onefit MED does just that,” Jean Blanchard, president of Blanchard Contact Lenses, said in the release.

The lens minimizes both lens thickness and the tear layer and can be used for nipple and oval cones, post-RK, post-LASIK, ocular surface disease, pellucid marginal degeneration and more.
