The i-Profiler eye measuring system from Zeiss analyses the shape of the eye with extreme precision. The system’s Wavefront images, developed on laser eye treatment technology, measures the cornea shape in fine detail. The machine shoots a wave of light into the eye, which passes through cornea, pupil, lens, vitreous jelly then the retina at the back of the eye, where the image is focussed. The light then reflects back to the machine which is able to detect and graphically represent what has happened to that wave of light, caused by distortion of the cornea.
i-Profiler will identify if the eye is distorted in any way. Eye distortion is not an uncommon condition and 60 – 70 % of people have some form of eye distortion. For most people it is not a problem and requires no action.
If the i-Profiler identifies distortion of the eye, it will measure the distortion and indicate if it is significant enough to recommend the use of spectacles.
If you have distortion of the cornea, spectacles could improve several conditions, prime amongst these are night vision, contrast and colour.
The findings of the i-Profiler examination are combined with the results of a normal eye test, to produce a prescription - the i-Scription. This prescription is met using lenses specially designed by Zeiss, to deal with distortion of the eye.
“I have struggled for some time with poor night vision and find that on a long car journey especially, the glare from on coming traffic is uncomfortable and stressful.
At the initial presentation of the i-Profiler I, like everyone else attending, was given an eye examination. My results were presented to the group as an excellent example of how i-Profiler measures and presents images and data from eyes with significant distortion. I received my i-Scription glasses and I was surprised at how odd my vision seemed initially. However within 30 minutes or so my eyes had adjusted to the new glasses and my vision if significantly better, especially night vision.”
