New scleral lens option for your patients
May 21, 2025
Bausch + Lomb Corporation announced the launch of Zenlens CHROMA HOA scleral contact lenses.
Designed to correct advanced higher-order aberrations (HOA), this custom, wavefront-guided scleral lens technology delivers enhanced vision and improves clarity by reducing symptoms such as halos and glare.
High-Quality, Customizable Lens
“Zenlens CHROMA HOA is a high-quality, customizable lens that fills a critical gap in scleral lens vision correction, especially for patients with complex corneal irregularities,” said Yang Yang, president, Global Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb. “Eye care professionals in the U.S. now have a new solution for patients that previously had limited options to improve vision quality.”
Bausch + Lomb says HOA correction “starts with a secure lens fit1,which can be achieved through proprietary Zenlens technologies, including SmartCurve and Bi-Elevation.” Once lens stability is secured, custom HOA correction is applied to the lens to effectively reduce higher-order aberrations and enhance vision by minimizing blurring and distortion.

Addressing Visual Distortions
“For years, I’ve had patients who struggle with visual distortions caused by higher-order aberrations, and there was little I could do beyond basic correction,” said Jason Jedlicka, OD, chief of cornea and contact lens service and clinical professor, Indiana University School of Optometry. “With Zenlens CHROMA HOA, I can offer a level of precision that wasn’t previously possible, and my patients can experience sharper vision and improved clarity, which has a significant impact on their quality of life.”
Bausch + Lomb is collaborating with Advance Medical and OVITZ to help eye care professionals integrate Zenlens CHROMA HOA into their practices. Advance Medical’s FocalPoints software platform – a platform for specialty lens manufacturing – is designed to enable seamless and precise production of the Zenlens CHROMA HOA design. OVITZ, which Bausch + Lomb says is the first company to develop an aberrometry system specifically for HOA correction, is providing its latest device, the xwave aberrometer.
