Integrating Ovitz xwave Aberrometry System with enVisus^®

February 2025 - Go to enVisus Overview

Higher-order Aberrations (HOAs) are complex imperfections in the eye’s optical system that can significantly degrade visual quality, causing glare, halos, starbursts, and decreased contrast sensitivity. Unlike lower-order aberrations, HOAs were traditionally beyond the correction capabilities of conventional contact lenses.

FocalPoints, enhanced by the groundbreaking enVisus^® Special Feature, has redefined the boundaries of specialty contact lens manufacturing by enabling precise HOA corrections across a wide range of lens designs. Central to this capability is the seamless integration of the enVisus^® platform with advanced wavefront-guided systems, such as the OVITZ xwave aberrometry system. This synergy ensures that detailed aberrometry data is fully utilized, forming an essential link in the process flow from precise ocular measurement to the production of highly customized lenses.

OVITZ, a pioneer in wavefront-guided contact lens technology, has transformed the fitting of custom scleral lenses with its xwave aberrometry system. The process begins with capturing comprehensive ocular data, including higher-order aberrations with advanced aberrometers like the OVITZ xwave aberrometer. This information is then used to create custom HOA-correcting optics via OVITZ’s AI-powered system, precisely tailored to the patient’s unique visual needs. All this data is seamlessly passed to the FocalPoints platform, enabling precise manufacturing and ensuring a streamlined workflow from start to finish.

FocalPoints empowers labs to take this tailored correction data and seamlessly incorporate it into their manufacturing process, enabling the production of lenses with unmatched precision and efficiency. This integrated approach bridges cutting-edge wavefront-guided technology with the practicalities of lens production, redefining what’s possible in the specialty contact lens industry.

Driven by a commitment to advancing the industry, our collaboration with OVITZ been essential to our strategy. Over the past three years, we have partnered with key manufacturers to integrate their workflows and HOA correction capabilities into virtually any lens design that can be manufactured by FocalPoints. This collaboration has undergone rigorous testing to ensure the highest levels of compatibility, enabling labs to confidently adopt these advancements in their production processes.
