Let's get scientific for a bit.
Last week, we told you that we had taken delivery of the first Zeiss Visuref 600 in the UK and that one of its many abilities was Wavefront Analysis. So, what is Wavefront Analysis?
As light passes through the lens system of our eyes, it gets distorted by tiny, microscopic errors in the system. These compound to create glare, starbursts, lower contrast, and other visual niggles that are not corrected with a standard prescription.
We are all aware of Lower Order Aberrations, these are the SPH, CYL, and AX you see on your prescription.
The images below are examples of types of Higher Order Aberrations and my own Wavefront Analysis.
The Zeiss Visuref 600 can analyse your individual ocular system and produce a prescription that is 25x more precise than the standard, which, combined with the Zeiss Individual range of lenses, can reduce those visual niggles that normal spectacles just don't correct.
