WaveForm’s Wavefront technology has been developed over the past 15 years or so, drawing from adaptive optics technology that's used in applications such as space telescopes.

KALISPELL (AP) — Steve Dunn, chief technology officer at WaveForm, makes an adjustment to one of the many different machines he uses to determine what type of contact a patient might need. 

For centuries, traditional eye exams have relied on the repetitive mantra, “Which is better, one or two?” as patients are asked to identify which trial lenses help them see more clearly. 

What if those tedious exams could be replaced by emerging technology that calculates eye corrections and provides 28 times more information as quickly as the blink of an eye? 

And what if that technology could help a sight-impaired grandparent see his grandchildren for the first time? 

Welcome to WaveForm, where all of this and much more already is possible. 

Based in Kalispell, WaveForm now is an industry leader in developing refractive “wavefront” technology to optimize vision through improved eyeglass and contact lens technology. 

Wavefront technology has been developed over the past 15 years or so, drawing from adaptive optics technology that’s used in applications such as space telescopes, said WaveForm President and Chief Technology Officer Steve Dunn. 

A wavefront is a physical representation of the optical quality of a light beam. 

In simpler terms, imagine light traveling as a bundle of light rays. If one were to draw lines perpendicular to the tips of that bundle of rays, it creates a wavefront map. An eye with perfect vision has a wavefront that’s completely flat, while the wavefront of an imperfect eye is irregular. 

It’s complicated technology, Dunn admitted, but in layman’s terms, wavefront aberrometry — aberrometry is the measurement of the imperfections in the optical system of the eye — is an advanced optical measuring technology that measures 28 levels of aberrations within the human eye. 

The technology was first embraced by refractive surgeons for LASIK surgery about a dozen years ago. Dunn, who works in a research and development facility next to Dolan Family Vision at 32 Village Loop in Kalispell, has taken wavefront technology to the next level by developing highly customized WaveForm contact lenses.
