Wave Training, Certified Designer Program & Clinical Support
Qualified professionals may download a free evaluation copy of the Wave Contact Lens Design Software for Scout and Medmont Topographers. The download is a fully functional version of the software without expiration but to order Wave Lenses, you must establish an account.
Wave recommends that all users view a series of instructional video modules (right) to become proficient with the Wave design process. These videos are available at no cost. However to achieve Wave Certified Designer designation the user must submit designs to Wave for evaluation and critique. Clinical support becomes available with successful completion of the required designs.
We encourage all Wave system users to complete the certification process. However even without the Wave Certified Designer designation, you can still receive a Wave account number and order Wave contact lenses. However only Certified Designers receive clinical support and receive the lowest warranty costs when ordering lenses. Warranty fees are higher for those who do not wish to complete the training.
Module-based Video Training on the Web
The instructional modules follow a logical sequential process. In order to achieve full certification, each doctor must successfully design sample lenses for the single vision, toric and multifocal lens design module (the Ortho-K module is optional) using “standard maps” provided as a part of the training course materials. An Optometrist, skilled in designing Wave contact lenses, evaluates the submitted lens designs to determine whether they are viable.
