Article

Bausch + Lomb recently introduced the MoRoCCo VA app in the U.S., which is designed to help eyecare professionals (ECPs) select the correct KeraSoft IC lens for their patients with keratoconus and other cornea irregularities.

Bridgewater, NJ-Bausch + Lomb recently introduced the MoRoCCo VA app in the U.S., which is designed to help eyecare professionals (ECPs) select the correct KeraSoft IC lens for their patients with keratoconus and other cornea irregularities.

Based on the successful MoRoCCo VA fitting method-which stands for Movement, Rotation, Centration, and Comfort-the app guides the ECP through each stage of the lens fitting process. Using interactive screens, the app allows the ECP to directly enter data during each KeraSoft IC lens fitting assessment. The app then provides instantaneous feedback if the fit is optimal or sub-optimal, and provides advice on logical next steps. Fitting data may be stored for both eyes in one session.

Other benefits of the app include real-time animations of lens behavior, viewing the fitting history for each patient at a glance, e-mailing lens orders to authorized laboratories, requesting technical support, and more.

The MoRoCCo VA app is browser-based and is available at no cost. The app is designed for use on multiple electronic devices, including a PC, smart phone, tablet, or other mobile device.
