By utilizing these advanced features, specialty contact lens designers gain access to a set of possibilities that would typically require extensive time and effort to achieve, or may even be impossible to attain without the aid of FocalPoints. These features open up new avenues for creativity and efficiency, allowing lens designers to achieve outstanding results in a fraction of the time it would take using conventional methods.
RAY TRACING & HOA DESIGN
Building on decades of ray tracing expertise, FocalPoints simulates real optical performance and applies HOA corrections directly within your design workflow.
ADVANCED RAY TRACING
Simulate real optical performance based on eye, cornea, and lens interaction.
HOA-DRIVEN DESIGN
Apply higher-order aberration corrections directly to existing lens designs.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Work within FocalPoints without changing your current design workflow.
ENVISUS HOA CORRECTION
enVisus® aims to revolutionize the world of specialty contact lenses by correcting Higher-Order Aberrations (HOAs) across any lens design without altering the usual FocalPoints manufacturing processes, introducing a transformative approach developed through years of dedicated research.
HIGH DEFINITION
The High Definition employs the Ray Tracing algorithm to generate a free-form Power Curve without spherical aberrations. This cutting-edge approach ensures an unparalleled level of accuracy and clarity in the resulting Power Curve output.
DECENTERED CONIC
The Decentered Conic displaces a conic curve by a specific distance, resulting in a shape reminiscent of a pointed dome. It delivers a Symmetrical multifocal when applied to a symmetrical design or a Toric multifocal when applied to a back toric design.
RAY TRACED MULTIFOCAL
The lens designer can effortlessly define a Multifocal Add profile by intuitively sketching it on a graph. FP Designer leverages the power of the Ray Tracing algorithm on the front surface to precisely compute the desired Multifocal profile.
SEGMENTED BIFOCAL
The Segmented Bi-Focal uses translation to create a bifocal effect. Due to the different curvatures, the near and distance zones form a step at the segmentation line. This step is smoothed with an S-curve transition, creating a gradual and visually smooth blend between the two zones. When using the HD version, the software generates an aberration-free surface.
PARAMETRIC D-MAP
The Parametric D-Map can generate three types of Segmented Bifocals, offering greater versatility. The tool creates the bifocal zone through a three-dimensional Add map, which is combined with the Ray-tracing algorithm to produce the final lens. This approach provides increased flexibility for customization and fitting needs.
FP PRISM
The FP Prism adds weight to the lens while limiting the amount of prismatic aberration. Depending on the specific lens design, the FP Prism approach may yield a thinner lens compared to other kinds of prism stabilization. When using the HD version, the software generates a Prism using the Ray-tracing algorithm, obtaining an high definition lens.
KC NICHE
The KC Niche offers a specialized solution for individuals with Keratoconus. The KC Niche involves a spherical segment carved into the back surface of the lens, serving the dual purpose of accommodating the irregular corneal shape associated with Keratoconus while also limiting the thickness of the tear layer, and incorporating HD optics.
EDGE + DUAL EDGE VAULT
The Edge Vault allows to accommodate the presence of a pinguecula. The Edge Vault applies a spherical ridge to the lens edge, allowing for a customized fit and enhanced comfort. Depending on the specific case, a lens can feature one or two Edge Vaults. Each Edge Vault is defined by its Center, Diameter, and Height in µm, which can also be Negative to add material in specific areas when required.
SMOOTH EDGE
The Smooth Edge tool offers a solution for achieving a smooth and polished edge on the lens. However, achieving this requires careful consideration of the lens design. It involves not only adjusting the settings in the Specifications dialog but also specifically defining the Lenticular region, configuring the program responsible for generating the data file for the lathe and having the specific Tool on the Lathe.
FENESTRATIONS
Fenestrations provides the capability to drill multiple fenestrations on a lens. This functionality allows for the creation of fenestrations while the lens remains on the machine, enabling a convenient and efficient workflow. However, in FocalPoints, a fenestration is not limited to a single "hole" in the lens. Instead, it represents a series of "holes" that are strategically drilled around a ring, offering enhanced customization and precise placement.
SIMULENS GATEWAY
The SimuLENS® GATEWAY connects FocalPoints with SimuLENS’ web-based fitting tool, enabling labs to export extensive digital fitting sets directly from FocalPoints. Eye Care Professionals can then quickly identify the optimal lens design, while finalized orders and fitting data flow back into FocalPoints automatically. Imported orders processed through the SimuLENS Gateway are treated as Special Features and are therefore subject to the related royalty conditions.
