Let’s start with the way they’re built. Kerasoft IC lenses use a silicone hydrogel material that’s both breathable and flexible. That flexibility means they can conform more comfortably to irregular corneas, something traditional rigid lenses struggle with. Yet, their central thickness (often over 0.40mm) gives them a bit of rigidity where it counts. That way, they gently smooth out the surface irregularities of the eye, almost like pressing a wrinkled shirt with a warm iron. The result? Sharper vision without sacrificing all-day comfort.

One of the big wins with Kerasoft IC lenses is how customizable they are. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Our eye doctor can tweak the central base curve, adjust the periphery, and modify the diameter, down to 0.2mm increments, so the lens hugs your eye just right. For patients with mild keratoconus or post-surgical changes, these adjustments can be the difference between “sort of clear” and “wow, I didn’t know I could see like this.” And if one part of your cornea is steeper than another (which is often the case), the periphery can be individually steepened or flattened, talk about tailored care.

If you’re used to soft lenses, the transition to Kerasoft IC won’t feel intimidating. They go in just like regular lenses, no special tools, no fancy techniques. And for those who’ve never used contacts before? They’re a much gentler starting point compared to hard lenses. The comfort factor can make all the difference when you’re wearing them 10–12 hours a day, especially if your eyes are already dealing with irregularities.

These lenses aren’t meant to be tossed every couple of weeks. In fact, they’re designed to last 3 months per lens, which not only makes them cost-effective over time but also reduces the hassle of frequent replacements. For patients whose corneal conditions are stable, like after crosslinking or once the keratoconus progression has plateaued, that kind of longevity is a game changer. It allows for consistent vision without the interruption of frequent refits or prescription shifts.

If you’ve got mild keratoconus and still see okay with glasses, or if you’ve had crosslinking and are now dealing with early irregularities, Kerasoft IC lenses might just be your ideal next step. They offer a middle ground between the sharp but often uncomfortable rigid lenses and the soft but sometimes inadequate standard lenses. And because they can be customized on the fly, our eye doctor can make incremental changes without having to completely overhaul your fit. It’s about control, comfort, and clarity, all rolled into one smart solution.

What really sets NovaKone apart is its approach to correcting irregular astigmatism. It’s not just the outer surface doing the work here, the lens is designed to tackle distortion from both the back and front surfaces. The central base curve is steep enough to work with the often cone-shaped corneas found in keratoconus, while a separate paracentral zone helps keep the lens stable and centered. And if your prescription involves a lot of cylinder correction, up to -10.00 diopters, NovaKone doesn’t flinch. 

NovaKone achieves remarkable rotational stability through its customizable Index of Thickness (IT) Factor and paracentral zone design, locking the lens firmly in place to eliminate unwanted movement. This dependable centration delivers consistently sharp, blur-free vision all day long, no sudden shifts of focus or frustrating distortions. At the same time, the surrounding lens remains soft and supple, giving you “pseudo-rigid” support exactly where you need it without sacrificing the gentle comfort of a silicone hydrogel lens.

Its fitting process is based on an 18-lens diagnostic set that includes orientation markings, making it easier to assess fit and rotation on the spot. That means less guesswork, and faster results. 

With a range stretching from +30.00 to -30.00 diopters, and cylindrical correction going as high as -10.00, NovaKone’s got nearly all bases covered. That makes it especially useful for keratoconus cases, or those unusual prescriptions that don’t fit within typical parameters. If you’ve ever been told your prescription was “too complex” for soft lenses, NovaKone could be the exception.

Patients who couldn’t tolerate rigid lenses or who just couldn’t get the clarity they needed from standard soft lenses often find NovaKone to be that missing middle ground. It’s comfortable enough for all-day wear, stable enough to support active lifestyles, and customizable enough to meet even tricky corneal profiles.
