Wave contact lenses are made like no other by using the Keratron Family of Topographers with Wave Contact Lens Software. The idea is simple: create a lens that nearly mirrors the cornea for the most precise and comfortable fit available.
The efficient process begins with thousand of data points from the topographer. With the data, the Wave software recommends the starting custom design. Single vision, front surface multifocal, toric or bi-toric lens or reverse geometry (with or without toric periphery) are all available. Lens designs have multiple aspheric curves as small as 10 microns wide and are rotationally symmetric, geometrically symmetric or asymmetric depending upon the shape of the cornea.
Simply put, Wave
designed lenses follow the shape of virtually any cornea.
You can make as many design changes as you wish with an easy drag-and-drop approach to adjust any single meridian or combination of meridians, seeing the results in the simulated fluorescein map.
After you've finished designing your patient's one-of-a-kind contact lenses onscreen, the Wave software delivers the design our precise Optoform lathe. There's no form to fill out or time wasted 'on hold' when calling in an order. Ordering replacement lenses is just as simple.
Why Is Wave Better?
Wave lenses know exactly how the central and peripheral cornea are shaped. The fit follows the shape leading to a better, more comfortable lens.
Typical lenses do not follow the exact shape of the cornea, especially out in the periphery (round insert). A poor peripheral fit can result in blink discomfort.

"Yesterday at 6pm I dispensed my very first pair of Wave Multifocal lenses. Today at noon a new patient called to schedule for a Wave MF appointment because her friend was raving about the comfort and clarity of her new lenses. - New Wave User
