Overview
The KeraSoft range is designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom by UltraVision CLPL. In April 2010, The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation was awarded to UltraVision CLPL specifically for KeraSoft. KeraSoft lenses are fitted and dispensed by optometrists and opticians in hospital departments, private and high street practices. Ophthalmologists are using the lenses both pre and post-operatively, following cross-linking surgery and as a safer and longer-term solution than corneal transplants. On 28 January 2011, Bausch & Lomb announced it had completed a global licensing agreement with UltraVision CLPL for KeraSoft.
