Patients stare into the machine for about one minute and watch a screen with a red ball surrounded by yellow circles. For patients who opt for the new style of lenses, their "eye print" is sent to Ophthonix, which uses the computer-generated prescription to create custom lenses to fit into most frames. Unlike typical lenses, the new lenses are made up of three thin layers that vary the prescription at different spots to take into account the higher-order aberrations, Calaway said.
We take that eye print involved when we make the lenses. For most people, Calaway said, the result is sharper, clearer vision and reduction of halos and "star bursts" around lights at night. Proponents of the new, custom lenses call them the spectacle equivalent of high-definition television.
Likewise, he said, patients who are happy with their overall sight and night vision with their current glasses probably don't need to make the switch. When he started wearing his new glasses, he said, it took him a day or two to get used to the prescription variations at different points on the lenses.
About practices nationwide are offering the lenses, but Ophthonix is continuing to expand to more locations, Jarvis said. September 10, Solar Eclipse Eye Safety August 16, Today is the day!
