The LenSx SoftFit Patient Interface, which was introduced by Alcon Laboratories, Inc., at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in Chicago, features a proprietary soft contact lens technology that enables the natural curvature of the cornea to conform to a soft contact lens insert. This capability reportedly allows a secure and gentle fit to the patient's eye while minimizing corneal distortion. According to the company, the new interface provides free-floating capsulotomy in nearly all cases and pristine capsulotomy edges. Compared with the single-piece patient interface, the SoftFit offers easier docking, enhanced comfort for the patient, and a lower rise in IOP of 16 mm Hg. According to the company, 66% less energy is needed, and the procedural time is reduced by 34% with this interface.
