Wave Technology
Bifocal patients, keratoconus patients, transplant patients, post refractive surgery
patients and other difficult-to-fit eyes should absolutely consider Wave contact lens designs.
People who have not had any trouble with contact lenses at all, however, can also
consider Wave contact lenses because the Wave design and manufacture are likely to be
superior to what you are currently wearing.
Wave lenses know exactly how the central and peripheral cornea are shaped. The fit
follows the shape (exploded view in round insert on left) leading to a better, more comfortable
lens. Typical Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses do not follow the exact shape of the cornea,
especially in the periphery (exploded view in round insert on right).
A poor peripheral fit can result in blink discomfort.
Nature designed eyes so why not contact lenses? Just as no two fingerprints are the
same, neither are two eyes. This is especially true with your cornea, the clear
tissue where your contact lens sits. The cornea may look smooth and regular, but
in fact its shape and texture are irregular. Wave contact lenses are designed like
no other lens. A special camera called a corneal topographer creates a topographic
map that digitally describes your cornea with thousands of numbers. With Wave's
special design software, Dr. Maller will use the data from the map to create a
custom lens that follows almost every tiny curve and shape on your cornea. In the
width of a hair, there may be as many as 10 distinct curves on the back of the lens.
With so many curves, Wave lenses offer unrivaled comfort and sharper optics. Many
unsuccessful contact lens wearers are successful Wave lens users. Why order off the
shelf contact lenses? Wave can allow the design of the lens just as nature intended.
