By expanding to Latin America, we are providing the best solution to empower practitioners to achieve successful outcomes for their patients. Our U.S. patient generated health data shows that 92% of BostonSight SCLERAL patients continue using BostonSight SCLERAL lenses."

BostonSight continually improves their lens offerings through research and innovation. BostonSight SCLERAL's new "triple-play" FitKit™ provides practitioners with three diameters of trial lenses in one kit so that practitioners can find an effective fit even faster. BostonSight SCLERAL's data-driven design fits 3 out of 4 patients right from the start, regardless of patient diagnosis. BostonSight also offers SmartChannel™ Technology, which facilitates optimal lens fits even when anatomical obstacles are present.

"We are excited to offer BostonSight SCLERAL in our portfolio of products," said Felipe Arroyave, Spectrum International President. "BostonSight SCLERAL is a leading scleral lens featuring innovative technology that makes it easy for practitioners to provide greater patient satisfaction."
