ART OPTICAL INTRODUCES INTELLIWAVE PRO CUSTOM SOFT LENSES

Art Optical recently introduced Intelliwave Pro, a new line of custom soft lenses featuring freeform stabilization for rapid lens positioning and quick focusing, according to the company.

The Intelliwave Pro’s stabilizing system is licensed technology from UltraVision CLPL in the United Kingdom and features Peripheral Balancing Zones that interact with the top and bottom lids. Art Optical says that this interaction creates stabilizing forces that allow for rapid lens positioning and focusing, usually within 20 seconds. Quick and stable lens orientation ensures crisp, clear vision at all times and eliminates visual fluctuations during gaze excursions and head tilts, according to the company.

Intelliwave Pro is offered in aspheric, aspheric toric, multifocal, and multifocal toric designs, with a broad range of parameters. Art Optical says that Intelliwave Pro multifocal optics are truly flexible, combining center-near and center-distance designs with additional options to optimize vision for the dominant eye in today’s presbyopic population.

Intelliwave Pro can be manufactured in Contamac’s Definitive (efrofilcon A, 74%) silicone hydrogel material, which is recommended as a quarterly replacement lens, or it can be manufactured in hydrogel material for biannual replacement. Intelliwave Pro lenses are backed by Art Optical’s comprehensive warranty program and are manufactured and shipped in just two to three days of order, according to the company.

EYEPRINT PROSTHETICS RELEASES SCANFITPRO SOFTWARE

EyePrint Prosthetics announced the development of its new scleral lens fitting software, ScanFitPro. This new technology employs EyePrint Prosthetics’ scleral lens designer algorithm to automatically design a lens in 3D. According to the company, practitioners have the ability to customize the fitting of the lens using patented Elevation Specific Technology.

ScanFitPro utilizes Oculus Pentacam’s Corneal Scleral Profile (CSP) for scleral mapping precision. The CSP Report is generated by 250 Scheimpflug images covering a diameter of up to 17mm. All images of the CSP scan are taken in a straight-on gaze without the need for secondary gazes, preventing off-axis elevation disparities, according to the company.

EyePrint Prosthetics says that this custom software gives physicians the ability to design a device with a patient’s own scleral profile, allowing for the highest level of design accuracy and speeding up the fitting process. The topographical data received from the CSP Report is combined with an overlaid iris image to allow physicians to visualize the devices on patients’ eyes. The company says that the ScanFitPro automatically aligns the optics with patients’ line of sight, eliminating the need for guessing and multiple trial lens fittings. Visit www.eyeprintpro.com or call (720) 598-6867. ■
