All about products

At K&Y Diamond Ltd, it’s all about finding the best solutions for our valued customers

Whether it’s manufacturing a special diamond tool used to make scleral lenses (as shown) or helping to solve surface finish issues, out team of dedicated technicians and engineers are always willing to go the extra mile. It’s one reason why we’ve grown into one of the world’s largest manufacturers of single-crystal diamond tools used to make RGP lenses, IOL’S and optical molds. Our diamonds are found in both large and small labs in over 60 countries earning us a reputation for delivering a superior product at a fair price. Consistent growth and service has allowed us to invest in both state-of-the art manufacturing systems and the latest metrology; some of which is found nowhere else. Let us put our +45 years of experience to work for you! www.kydiamond.ca / kydiamond@kydiamond.ca

Optimum Infinite Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for Therapeutic Use in Scleral Lenses to Treat Ocular Surface Disorders

Contamac has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the therapeutic use of its Optimum Infinite (180Dk) lens material in scleral contact lenses. Already FDA-cleared for daily wear in spherical, toric, multifocal, and orthokeratology modalities, obtaining expanded 510(k) clearance to include ocular surface disease offers an additional treatment option, with enhanced material characteristics to support the ocular health of such conditions, according to Contamac. Optimum Infinite, Optimum Extra, Optimum Extreme, and Hexa100 lens materials are suitable for therapeutic use in eyes that have ocular surface disease (e.g., ocular Graft-versus-Host disease, Sjögren’s, dry eye syndrome, and filamentary keratitis), limbal stem cell deficiency (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome, chemical radiation, and thermal burns), disorders of the skin (e.g. atopy, ectodermal dysplasia), neurotrophic keratitis (e.g., herpes simplex, herpes zoster, familial dysautonomia), and corneal exposure (e.g., anatomic, paralytic), where the expanded tear reservoir and protection against an adverse environment afforded by a scleral lens might prove beneficial. www.contamac.com / sales@contamac.co.uk

A revolution in the world of diffractive IOLs metrology

The metrology of diffractive IOLs is challenging due to multiple factors. Time management is one of the most dominant issues as it takes up to 2 minutes to fully characterize one lens, therefore restricting the production line to its capacity to certify the IOLs. Furthermore, most of the existing metrology instruments imply complexity in use and installation due to the sensitivity of the machines. To drastically reduce the measurement time while improving the convenience and the characterization of the lenses, Lambda-X has tackled those issues and will soon launch the latest generation of Nimo metrology instrument: NIMO TEMPO. Speed, stability, traceability and R&r (Repeatability & reproducibility) are many of the advantages of this newcomer to the ophthalmic market. For several weeks now, beta testers have had the chance to experiment with a new technology, providing them with accurate, reliable data. Efficiency and repeatability are at the center of this new development, allowing the operator to work faster and in a more stable environment. The accompanying software opens the doors to various data analysis as well as new measurements of the contact lens. Interested in an exclusive preview of the NIMO TEMPO during which we will demonstrate the many features and benefits of NIMO TEMPO by characterizing your own IOLs during a live workshop with your team?

Inspection of intraocular lenses in production

OptiSpheric® IOL PRO 2 offers fully automated IOL measurement. It is completed with WorkStation IOL and integrated SortStation IOL. This workplace is the best choice when it comes to carrying out all the steps upstream and downstream of the measurement in a simple, fast and safe process. It includes loading the sample holders with optimal illumination that makes it easy to ensure the ideal positioning of the lenses. Moreover, the lenses can safely be sorted after the measurement: Test results are automatically transferred to the display and made visible directly at the location of the samples. The fulfillment of the pass/fail criterion is displayed in a red/green color scheme and the reliable assignment of each lens is enabled. www.trioptics.com / sales@trioptics.com
