What is Wavefront Tecnology? 

W.A.V.E. Technology is Wavefront Advanced Vision Enhancement

For the first time, Varilux has adapted the same wavefront technology used in laser surgery (Lasik surgery) to correct vision by eliminating minor distortions in the lens.

W.A.V.E. Technology uses a patented design process that analyzes a full beam of light as it passes through each area of the lens. As the light passes through the lens, the light is analyzed to identify and remove small distortions in each area of the lens. This technology allows Varilux Physio to offer a progressive lens with the sharpest visual fields possible.
Visual fields are defined as near vision, intermediate vision and distance vision. For more information on visual fields, see the page on 360° Digital Surfacing.

Dr. Marguerite B. McDonald is a cornea/refractive/anterior segment specialist. She conducted the first wavefront-based surgeries in the U.S.A.

On Varilux Physio lenses with W.A.V.E. Technology, Dr. McDonald states, "When I look at spectacle trends in the U.S., however, it distresses me to know that a significant percentage of spectacle-lens- wearing presbyopes currently wear bifocals or trifocals. Additionally, many of those in the U.S. who wear progressive lenses are in older generation designs that do not deliver the highest available levels of visual comfort and performance."

"As doctors, we make evidence-based decisions on our patients' behalf. What the evidence here tells me is that we now have a progressive lens technology that offers presbyopes a level of optical performance that cannot be achieved with conventional progressive lens design."

Varilux Physio with W.A.V.E. Technology provides unsurpassed sharpness in all fields of vision that has never before been achieved.
