Cloud-based Ortho-K lens system
March 19, 2025
Bausch + Lomb Corporation, a global eye health company, announced the U.S. launch of Arise, a lens fitting system that uses intelligent, cloud-based technology to streamline the orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lens design process.
Key Features of the Arise Lens Fitting System
Arise syncs directly with topographers – diagnostic tools that capture 3-D images of the eye – “to create precise lens designs in seconds to treat myopia.”
These lenses include what Bausch + Lomb describes as the “first orthokeratology lens design with toric peripheral curves* approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat myopia overnight.”

“Traditional orthokeratology lens fitting methods can be complex and time-consuming,” said Yang Yang, president, Global Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb. “The Arise platform’s streamlined fitting process will reduce chair time† and increase efficiency for eye care professionals.”
Engineered for precision and speed, Arise uses advanced algorithms to instantly interpret corneal topography images and recommend lens designs in seconds – no fitting set required, according to Bausch + Lomb.
Benefits of Cloud-Based Technology in Ortho-K
It is designed for lens fitters of all experience levels and efficiently evaluates lens centration and patient progress using its overnight outcome map library, recommending adjustments following overnight wear, if needed.
Additionally, the cloud-based platform allows secure access to patient data from anywhere and direct support from the Bausch + Lomb expert consultation team.
“Arise combines all aspects of the orthokeratology process—from topography capture to lens design and more—into one seamless, user-friendly technology,” said Brooke Messer, OD, FAAO, FSLS, Vance Thompson Vision, West Fargo, N.D “The ease and precision of Arise will be a welcome addition to my practice.”
Arise is now commercially available in the U.S., the United Kingdom and Europe.
