Wavefront/ Free Form Wavefront/ Free Form TechnologyTechnology

A way to control the front side imperfections of a lens Allows patient to experience crisper vision in distance zone Typically allows intermediate zone to appear much wider Clearer vision as the eye moves across the lens

– Large, clear viewing zones free of unwanted power errors associated with lower-order aberrations

What Are Wavefront What Are Wavefront Aberrations?Aberrations?

“Wavefront aberrations” optical errors produced on

the front surface of a lens Wavefront aberrations are a natural consequence of the

changing curvature of a progressive lens– They can be controlled, but not eliminated

Semi-finished progressive lenses cannot address

wavefront aberrations of an individual’s eye

Improves wearers appearance

Eliminates unwanted light reflections or glare from entering the wearers eyes.

Allows from 8% to 15% more good light to enter the wearers eyes resulting in improved vision especially at night.

Anti Glare Coating

Visual demands of aging Visual demands of aging patientspatients60 year old eye needs 3 times more light to see than the

20 year old eye. (only 33 % of light reaches the photoreceptors)

Pupil size shrinks Pupil size

DAY NIGHT– 20 year old eye 4.7mm 8.0 mm– 60 year old eye 3.1mm 4.1mm

Lens becomes more opaque or cloudy –making the discrimination of blue colors more difficult

Adaptation of different lighting conditions slows down- mainly caused by glare at night

Motion perception slows- difficult to accurately judge fast and slow moving objects

Peripheral vision is impaired Contrast sensitivity during daylight is also an issue

If your EYES could talk to you!!

What would they say???

Transitions Lenses T.V. Commercial

Bright Light often affects Contrast Sensitivity

Tinted lenses in high-glare situationscan improve Contrast Sensitivity

Transitions Lenses Improve Contrast Sensitivity

• Contrast Sensitivity is the ability to distinguish between an object and the viewing background

Transitions VI: Advanced Performance

for Healthy Sight

Transitions VI Promotes Healthy Sight by:

• Reducing glare

• Improving contrast

• Reducing eye fatigue and eye strain

• Providing visual comfort

• Blocking 100% UVA & UVB

Transitions Lenses Better for the patient as compared to Clear Lenses

Transitions Lenses with AR

Clear Lenses

Polarized Lenses

Polarized Lenses for SAFETY

Polarized Lenses are needed by anyone who DRIVES during bright sunny conditions.
