VAUGHAN, Ontario--Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, today announced the U.S. launch of Zenlens CHROMA HOA scleral contact lenses. Designed to correct advanced higher-order aberrations (HOA), this custom, wavefront-guided scleral lens technology delivers enhanced vision and improves clarity by reducing symptoms such as halos and glare.

“Zenlens CHROMA HOA is a high-quality, customizable lens that fills a critical gap in scleral lens vision correction, especially for patients with complex corneal irregularities,” said Yang Yang, president, Global Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb. “Eye care professionals in the U.S. now have a new solution for patients that previously had limited options to improve vision quality.”

HOA correction starts with a secure lens fit1,which can be achieved through proprietary Zenlens technologies, including SmartCurve™ and Bi-Elevation™. Once lens stability is secured, custom HOA correction is applied to the lens to effectively reduce higher-order aberrations and enhance vision by minimizing blurring and distortion.

“For years, I’ve had patients who struggle with visual distortions caused by higher-order aberrations, and there was little I could do beyond basic correction,” said Jason Jedlicka, OD, chief of cornea and contact lens service and clinical professor, Indiana University School of Optometry. “With Zenlens CHROMA HOA, I can offer a level of precision that wasn’t previously possible, and my patients can experience sharper vision and improved clarity, which has a significant impact on their quality of life.”

Bausch + Lomb is collaborating with Advance Medical and OVITZ® to help eye care professionals integrate Zenlens CHROMA HOA into their practices. Advance Medical’s FocalPoints® software platform – a leading platform for specialty lens manufacturing – enables seamless and precise production of the Zenlens CHROMA HOA design. OVITZ, the first company to develop an aberrometry system specifically for HOA correction, is providing its latest device, the xwave aberrometer.
