Aberrometry
Aberrometry: measuring the eye's fine imperfections for customized vision
L'aberrometry is an advanced ophthalmological examination that measures the eye's optical aberrations, i.e. imperfections in the way light rays are refracted by the various eye structures. Unlike conventional eye examinations, which measure myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, aberrometry also analyzes finer defects, known as "optical aberrations". high-order aberrationsoften responsible for blurred or distorted vision despite well-fitting glasses.
How does aberrometry work?
The aberrometer projects a beam of light into the eye and records how this beam is modified by the various structures it passes through (cornea, crystalline lens, aqueous humor). Thanks to this analysis, it's possible to draw up an accurate complete optical map of the eyeto identify irregularities that disrupt the quality of the perceived image. The result is called wavefrontIt is comparable to an optical imprint unique to each eye.
Why perform aberrometry?
Aberrometry is particularly useful in refractive surgery (like LASIK), as it enables treatment to be tailored to the patient's specific visual defects. It is also indicated for patients with unexplained loss of visionand night vision problemssymptoms of halos or glare, or in the event of unsatisfactory results after eye surgery. It can also be used to monitor certain corneal pathologies, such as keratoconus.
A quick, painless examination
Aberrometry is an examination non-invasive, painless and very fast. The patient is seated in front of a device that captures optical data in a matter of seconds. The patient simply stares at a point of light, without touching the eye, and the results are immediately available.
A step towards optimized vision
By revealing optical imperfections invisible to conventional examinations, aberrometry helps to improve the quality of vision. quality of visionIt's a precision tool that's part and parcel of the company's approach to innovation. It's a precision tool that's part and parcel of an approach to customized visionadapted to the needs of each individual.
