Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom provides a tailored approach to visual correction, focusing on exceptional stability and a personalized fit for complex corneal shapes. These specialized lenses are individually crafted to provide a secure and comfortable fit for irregular eye shapes that standard off-the-shelf options cannot accommodate.
Please Note: Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom lenses are made to order using a specialized manufacturing process. Because each lens is hand-lathed to your exact specifications, please allow a lead time of 3 to 8 weeks for production and dispatch.
Advanced Optical Stability with Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom
Unlike mass-produced alternatives, Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom lenses are individually manufactured using CNC lathe-cutting technology to match highly complex corneal topographies. This bespoke process ensures the lens rests precisely on the eye, which is vital for maintaining consistent visual acuity.
The design utilizes strategic Bi-Prism stabilization—incorporating prism ballasting at the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions—to ensure the lens remains correctly oriented. This rotational stability is essential for custom toric lenses to provide accurate cylinder correction on irregular surfaces. Furthermore, the use of high-quality hydrogel materials like Hioxifilcon B or Methafilcon A allows for optimized water retention and durability tailored to the wearer's physiological needs.
Who Should Consider Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom?
These keratoconus contact lenses are frequently recommended for patients who require complex vision correction but find traditional rigid gas permeable (RGP) or scleral lenses physically uncomfortable. They are particularly suitable for:
- Patients diagnosed with keratoconus or those presenting with irregular corneal profiles.
- Individuals with high levels of astigmatism that cannot be effectively corrected by standard toric lenses.
- Wearers seeking the softer, more flexible sensation of a hydrogel material without sacrificing optical precision.
- Those who have struggled with the adaptation period or physical awareness of rigid lenses.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom
How often should I replace Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom lenses?
The replacement schedule for Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom is highly individualized and is determined by the specific material selected and the recommendation of a prescribing optometrist. Wearers typically follow either a quarterly (90-day) or annual replacement cycle. These lenses must be removed, cleaned, and disinfected every night.
How does Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom help with keratoconus?
Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom is specifically engineered to drape comfortably over a conical or irregular cornea. By providing better centration and a more stable physical fit than many rigid alternatives, these lenses can successfully correct high levels of irregular astigmatism while maintaining a high level of wearer comfort.
What is the best way to clean Gelflex ACL Kera Toric Custom?
Because these lenses are designed for long-term reusable wear, a rigorous daily maintenance routine is required. A high-quality multi-purpose solution, such as Optifree Pure Moist, is often recommended to effectively remove surface proteins and debris. When not in use, the lenses should be stored in a clean contact lens case.
