Patients using InView’s new DigitalVision Analyzer electronically control the correcting lenses allowing vision to be measured with 25 times greater resolution than the refractor used in the standard vision test. Patients can also use the DigitalVision Simulator to compare their present vision to their potential eyesight following a laser vision procedure using InView’s latest technology.
The DigitalVision Exam also allows doctors to determine the visual system’s depth-of-field, or the distance over which you can read comfortably without reading glasses. This information is used to create laser vision treatments that reduce the need for glasses over typical viewing ranges. Over 95% of middle aged patients undergoing this type of surgery at InView now function without glasses for either reading or distance vision for most of their activities.
Researchers at InView in Atlanta as well as from MIT and Harvard in Boston worked together to develop DigitalVision technology over the past decade. InView has been a pioneer in bringing new technologies that improve vision to the forefront. In 1997, InView surgeons were the first team to conduct an FDA-supervised study of LASIK in the United States, and they were the first to bring wavefront technology to vision surgery in 2001.
The DigitalVision Exam allows patients to view targets that appear naturally in a reflecting mirror without having to look through bulky set of lenses placed over their face. This natural vision test reduces unwanted focusing reflex (called instrument accommodation) that can lead to inaccurate prescriptions.
Patients adjust their corrective lenses by using a simple hand controller – like the ones used to play video games.
