The Wavefront Corrected Scleral Lenses – from a Technical View Side of Myop
Wavefront-guided contact lenses have been a hot topic for a number of years, but they have yet to achieve widespread clinical relevance. We hypothesize that this barrier to clinical uptake is due in part to the fact that the manufacture of wavefront-guided lenses requires a process that is a significant departure from conventional contact lens manufacture. The work presented in this talk outlines the challenges associated with wavefront-guided contact lens manufacture, and introduces a novel method of manufacture designed to address these challenges.

He holds a B.S. degree in computer engineering, an M.S. degree in biomedical engineering, and a Ph.D. in physiological Optics and Vision Science. His laboratory at The University of Houston, College of Optometry focuses on developing and translating optical correction strategies for eyes with poor visual quality (keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, Down syndrome) to the clinical environment and investigating the relationship between optical quality and visual performance. He teaches geometric optics to students in the optometry professional program, advanced optical topics to students in the physiological optics program at The University of Houston College of Optometry and mentors students seeking the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
