New lens design technology can help eye-care professionals (ECPs) avoid introducing higher-order aberrations (HOAs) to patients’ vision via corrective lenses. This, in turn, will enhance patients’ contrast sensitivity to see more clearly, according to Pete Hanlin, ABOM, LDO, technical marketing manager, Essilor of America.
“[ECPs] rate how well someone is seeing by rating their vision as 20/20, 20/40, and so on, but that measure actually does not account for all of their vision,” Hanlin said. “It only measures vision with very high contrast and very specific letter shapes. Many patients walk away from an exam in which they see 20/20, but think that things just don’t seem ‘sharp.’ In many cases, it’s because their contrast perception is low.” » More
