Z-ViewABERRATION REDUCING REFRACTION

See iZon Eyemagination Video.

The Ophthonix wavefront-guided vision correction solution is comprised of three proprietary technology platforms:

• The Z-View® Aberrometer - a highly accurate wavefront-guided refractor which separately measures sphere, cylinder and axis and, high order (3rd -6th order) aberrations of the eye. The refraction takes approximately one minute.  Addressing high order as well as low order will enable a patient to achieve the peak of their vision capability, potentially reaching visual acuity of 20/10.
• The total prescription - proprietary technology translates the measurements from the Z-View Aberrometer into a customized prescription. An optical map or "Eyeprint" identifies the unique microscopic irregularities of each eye. The prescription is digitally embedded in a bar code and sent to Ophthonix.
• iZon Wavefront-Guided Lenses - Ophthonix uses its patented iZonik™ material and proprietary design to produce the first ever customized wavefront-guided spectacle lenses. iZon Wavefront-Guided Lenses are manufactured on a point for point basis (similar to the manner in which a CD is programmed) to match a patient's Eyeprint.

Non-surgical Wavefront Correction of the Eye

iZon® High Resolution Lenses are the first non-surgical solution designed to address both lower and higher order aberrations of the eye. Wavefront technology is used to measure and map the optical fingerprint of the eye, or iPrint™. The customized iZon Lens is based on the iPrint and addresses the vision problems associated with the higher order aberrations (2nd-6th) of the eye. Wearers experience overall sharpness of vision, improved contrast acuity, improved nighttime driving vision, and seeing colors with greater richness and intensity.

Wavefront technology is used to analyze the way light travels through the eye. A painless, invisible and completely safe laser light is beamed into the retina at the back of the eye and then reflected back out. Paths taken by light rays traveling through the eye provide a three-dimensional optical map of the eye. This wavefront mapping helps practitioners detect aberrations not seen in conventional vision tests, which impact the quality of a patient's vision.

Distortions or imperfections in vision caused by higher order aberrations may include:

• Compromised visual acuity
• Halos, starbursts and comets around lights at night
• Compromised depth perception
• Low contrast sensitivity
• Perceptual sensitivity to color
