Alden acquires Fluoresoft, launches new practice finder tool

Lancaster, NY-Alden Optical recently acquired Fluoresoft, the only high molecular weight fluorescent solution available in the U.S., from Holles Laboratories, Inc. The solution can be used to evaluate the cornea-to-lens fitting relationship, assess epithelial abnormalities due to contact lens wear, and assist during applanation tonometry. Fluoresoft’s high molecular weight compound prevents absorption by soft lens materials, preventing lens staining, according to the company.
