Here’s a very simple question for you: Why do people wear contact lenses?

If you believe the information from some sources, you may answer:

• Convenience
• Comfort
• Dislike of glasses
• Appearance

But let me put forward a radical thought – people wear contact lenses because they want to see better! The 4 points above are all secondary factors, the primary reason is that they want to see better. Perhaps the contact lens industry talks so much about comfort and convenience because they cannot offer vision improvements over and above their competitors? If their products could offer a visual upgrade over and above the norm, I am sure that their large marketing departments would have ensured that we would hear about it.

So here’s another question - If we were to offer you a contact lens that offered your patients superior vision without any compromise on comfort and convenience would you be interested?

If we also promise that these contact lenses are not, and will not, be available from grocers, pharmacies and online sellers, so would therefore also protect and potentially grow your practice would that make you interested?

We can also provide these lenses in your own brand livery for relatively small commitments.

A LEAP FORWARD FOR PATIENT VISION & A PROGRESSIVE SOLUTION TO MARKET CHANGES

DEFINITION AC by OCI, unlike other aspheric lenses in the market, incorporates the ideal aspheric curvature for each soft lens power and compensates for aberration.



Patented technology for aberration control has led to the introducton of 2 New Independent Optician Only branded products. WavetouchTM FRP lenses developed using Wavefront aberrometer measurements in Daily and Monthly lenses.

Aspheric Contact Lens Design

Second Generation - Patented Aberration Control Technology

"Second Generation" - aspheric front surfaces designed through Wavefront Research
Wavefront aberrometry readings were taken on many patients.



These results yield the development of an average aberration curve for each power.
From this research, specific algorithms are developed across the entire power range.
These “individualised” aspheric front surfaces are then combined with the appropriate power curve.

Patented Aberration Control Technology

Importantly, instead of a single aspheric curve “married” to a changing power curve, the ideal aspheric curvature is incorporated for each soft lens power. The design also incorporates the ideal aspheric curvature for the thickness needed in that power and compensates for aberrations caused by lens flexure on the eye.

How do Wavefront lenses work?

The wavefront algorithms are used in a computer-controlled ContinuFlow™ molding system to a nano-meter level of manufacturing accuracy. This results in a contact lens with a front ellipsoidal surface that reduces high-order aberrations as well as correcting low-order aberrations.

Our Aberration Control Contact Lenses have a thin draping edge design with low tangential edge lift. This thin peripheral curve design reduces lid interaction and lens awareness for extreme comfort.



The Benefits to the Patient of Aberration Control Wavefront Technology
