New Mexico Patent of the Month – October 2025
Today’s vision correction technology just took a major leap forward with a new patented system for measuring contact lens placement on the eye. This innovation promises unparalleled precision for corrective lenses, moving beyond static measurements to address real-world lens movement. Developed by Wavefront Dynamics Inc., the technology will improve visual acuity and comfort for millions of contact lens wearers. The ability to dynamically track a lens is critical for truly personalized ophthalmic devices.
Precision Vision Correction
Toric and customized contact lenses must maintain exact orientation on the eye. Any lens rotation or tilt can cause significant blurring for the patient. Current fitting methods often rely on approximations or slow, single-moment readings. This new system utilizes specialized optical tools to identify and map the lens’s precise position, rotation, and tilt in real-time. This eliminates guesswork during the fitting process. It guarantees the corrective power aligns perfectly with the patient’s visual needs.
The Real-World Impact
U.S. Patent No. 12446772, titled ‘Methods and system to identify position, rotation, and tilt of a contact lens on an eye’, is a key step toward next-generation adaptive optics. Optometrists can now obtain highly accurate data for manufacturing custom soft and scleral lenses. This drastically reduces the need for trial-and-error fittings and costly remakes. The innovation accelerates the path toward personalized medicine in vision care. It raises the standard for fitting complex contact lenses.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
