WAVE uses an advanced mathematics of wavelet theory the topographic data and creates a digital signal that describes the cornea. Then it uses the signal to create the lens design. The technique is analogous to a video recording (the cornea) and playback (the lens).
This unique but logical approach to lens design looks at the "texture" of the cornea. Rather than fit a lens using k readings, curvature or e values, WAVE effectively creates a mirror image of the cornea. With a change in curvature every 10 microns, the lens drapes the cornea in a manner similar to a soft lens. With added emphasis to match the periphery of the lens to the periphery of the cornea, centration is unsurpassed even with reverse geometry lenses.
Wave lenses are unsurpassed for difficult fits such as post refract LASIK or PRK patients. Excellent centration is a bonus when fitting the multi-focal and reverse geometry lenses.
