LaunchPad: Spectacle Lenses Novar Vision Unveils New, User-Specific Parameters for Optimal Lens Performance Evaluation By Staff Monday, November 25, 2024 12:05 AM Product: Novar Vision, announced it has unveiled a new methodology that redefines optical lens performance evaluation, focusing on perceived power and astigmatism. Novar Vision has refined its lens design to deliver more precise vision optimization. Top Line: Through Generalized Ray Tracing (GRT)—a proprietary algorithm—and Virtual Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Analysis, Novar Vision simulates real-world user experience to provide a more tailored approach to lens performance, the company said. Vital Stats: The new evaluation technique allows for demonstrable reductions in monofocal and progressive lens aberrations and better vision quality via precise base curve selection for improved near and distance zones. Moving beyond conventional evaluation techniques reliant on theoretical and laboratory metrics, this approach integrates user-specific parameters—including lens curvature, pantoscopic tilt, wrap angles, vertex distance, refractive index, and calculated eye rotation center—to deliver precise, user-centered visual solutions, the company said.Selling Points: “By emphasizing perceived power and astigmatism, Novar Technologies has redefined the approach to lens evaluation and design,” said Gabriel Martin, chief technology and innovation officer at Novar Technologies. “This innovation empowers professionals to predict and address user needs, ensuring lenses provide an unparalleled visual experience in real-world settings.”www.novar-vision.com/en
