iZon® High Resolution Lenses
iZon® High Resolution Lenses are the first non-surgical solution for the correction of both lower and higher order aberrations of the eye. Lower order aberrations include nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Now iZon® lenses allow for the correction of higher order aberrations like coma, trefoil, and spherical aberration in the eye. These higher order aberrations can distort vision creating starbursts, comet tails, and halos around lights.
Wavefront technology is used to measure, map and correct the unique optical fingerprint of the eye. The result is improved visual acuity and a reduction or elimination of visual distortions caused by the higher order aberrations of the eye. Wearers of iZon® lenses also see an improvement in low contrast visual acuity and contrast sensitivity. Of note is the improvement in functional vision tasks, in particular night time driving performance.
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.
iZon® Lenses Improve Nighttime Driving Performance
Many people find their night vision compromised by an increase in glare, halos and starbursts. In nighttime driving tests, using an FDA validated driving simulator, iZon High Resolution Lenses significantly improved nighttime driving performance over conventional glasses. iZon wearers driving at 55 MPH, under glare conditions, were able to detect, recognize and react to a potential hazard on average 20 feet faster*. This represents a significant safety margin, and quite possibly, the difference between life and death.
