The
Wave Contact Lens System, a
state-of-the-art custom
contact lens technology, is used to design the precise parameters of the
Ortho-K
Lens. No two fingerprints are identical and the same is true for your eyes,
especially the cornea which has its own shape or topography just like a
“fingerprint”.
 |
The Scout Keratron is used by the Wave System to
determine the exact curvature of your cornea. This instrument photographs the
cornea while projecting a series of concentric data points on the corneal
surface. Thousands of these data points are analyzed to create a
topographical map of the cornea, capturing any variations that may be
present.

 |
The rings that are projected on your cornea are converted into a
topographical map that undergoes further analysis. |
