A leading-edge topographer is critical to visualize the shape of the cornea (the clear window of the eye). Medmont is hailed as the leading manufacturer of topographers, with the model “E300” being the gold standard topographer for over a decade. Their newest topographer, the Meridia, improves upon the original E300 model by more accurately capturing your cornea in three dimensions. Increased topographical accuracy leads to custom lenses that more closely resemble your eye, which yields faster, healthier, and clearer outcomes.

We utilize cameras that can capture images and videos of the front of the eye. These captures are useful for evaluating a lens’s initial fitment and gaining insight into how an Ortho-k lens will perform. The sodium fluorescein video taken here is of a hyperopic-presbyopic Ortho-k lens (it’s to help farsighted patients see better at a distance and near!).

Lumen Optometric is the only office in Los Angeles County that is recognized as a platinum-level WAVE designer. We utilize Wave to create 100% fully-custom lenses for your child. WAVE combines all the tomographical data from the Oculus Pentacam AXL Wave and allows us to specify and manipulate every aspect of your child’s lens design.

From a doctor’s perspective, the customizable nature of WAVE allows for (1) maximum slowing of myopic progression, (2) more accurate vision correction, and (3) maintaining eye health. For patients, it simply means their eyes are more protected from myopic progression, they see clearer faster and in a safe, healthy manner.
