Three specialty contact lens fitting providers have formed a new division designed to focus exclusively on providing customized specialty contact lenses.
Its name: WAVE Eye Care.
Let’s start with these three companies.
First up: EyePrint Prosthetics.
What it is: As an optometrist-developed provider of custom-based contact lenses, EyePrint uses impressions or scans of the ocular surface to design specialized contact lenses matching the shape of individual eyes.
- To note: These specialized lenses are developed and manufactured via a partnership with Advanced Vision Technologies (AVT)
Its products—targeting diseases and conditions such as keratoconus, dry eye, post-LASIK, and radial keratotomy via patented technology (we’ll get to that later) and 3D models—include:
- EyePrintPro (flagship product)
- EyeFit Pro
- EyePrintGP
- ScanFitPro
Next?
We’ll circle back to Advanced Vision Technologies (AVT), the second player in this new company.
About AVT: The manufacturer offers unique eye supplies and consultations, hands-on training for clinicians and their staff, and includes a state-of-the-art contact lens laboratory.
Its products encompass eye supplies and unique technology-based lenses (gas permeable [GP], scleral, and customized soft, with popular brand names like NaturaLens) targeting the following:
- Keratoconus
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-k)
- Presbyopia
- Post-surgery
- Irregular trauma corneas
- Single vision
And the third?
That would be WAVE Contact Lens System.
What it is: A custom contact lens software platform that designs scleral, ortho-k, multifocal, freeform, and GP lenses.
- What it does: Offers eyecare professionals (ECPs) an advanced CAD/CAM software platform that “empirically [designs] fully customized rigid contact lenses based on patients’ corneal topography or tomography maps,” that are then sent to a lab for production.
- Check out how the process works.
Among its software platforms are the following WAVE brands:
- CorneaLens
- NightLens
- ScleralLens
And, most notably, WAVE is compatible with key corneal topography and tomography devices.
Alrighty, now talk about this new division.
To start: WAVE Eye Care is a product of EyePrint, WAVE Contact Lens System, and AVT that features a portfolio of unique and custom-designed eyecare solutions such as ortho-k lenses, scleral lenses, and corneal GP lenses.
Specifically: From technology and software to services, WAVE includes a “comprehensive suite of tools and support” stemming from each of those three aforementioned players.
Go on …
Among these are:
- Advanced CAD/CAM software (from WAVE Contact Lens System)
- This uses topography from a clinician’s corneal topographer for precision lens creation (via its customized process) of ortho-k, scleral, and corneal GP lenses.
- EyePrint Impression Technology (from EyePrint)
- This is utilized during the EyePrint Impression Process, which uses an FDA-approved ocular compound and insertion tray
- It’s designed to acquire the most accurate data possible of the ocular surface by capturing the exact shape of a patient’s eye and all corneal-scleral irregularities and contours.
- This is utilized during the EyePrint Impression Process, which uses an FDA-approved ocular compound and insertion tray
- Collaborative consulting (from AVT)
- Experienced consultants and clinical support are available to develop “empirical custom lens designs tailored to individual requirements.”
This sounds like an all-in-one service …
That’s the intent—for specialty contact lens options, that is.
