New Mexico Patent of the Month – April 2025
WaveFront Dynamics Inc has secured a patent for a new diagnostic tool that could transform eye care. The “Wide-field multi-axis aberrometer” (U.S. Patent No. 12,285,214) captures detailed vision data across the entire eye, enabling a new level of precision in vision correction.
Measuring More Than Meets the Eye
Unlike traditional aberrometers that focus on the center of the eye, this system gathers measurements across a wide field using multiple off-axis beamlets or a scanning mirror. It detects subtle distortions in peripheral vision that are often missed, allowing for a more complete optical profile.
Real-World Benefits for Patients
This breakthrough offers immediate clinical potential. By identifying vision imperfections across both central and peripheral zones, eye care providers can design truly personalized contact lenses. This is especially valuable for patients with complex refractive issues or those seeking high-performance visual correction.
The device could also accelerate innovation in custom lens manufacturing and help expand treatment options for individuals with unique optical needs. As eye care moves toward more tailored approaches, tools like this one will play a central role.
WaveFront Dynamics continues to drive progress in vision science through patented technologies aimed at improving everyday outcomes for patients.
