Thousands of OVITZ patients with higher-order aberrations (HOAs) enjoy clearer vision and a significantly improved quality of life, and OVITZ Doctors are enjoying greater success and higher patient satisfaction.
06/21/2026
For patients with keratoconus, oftentimes "good enough" vision usually meant settling for 20/30 or 20/40. But according to new data presented at the Global Specialty Lens Symposium 2026, suggests a new change is here.
A recent study reveals that by pairing the wavefront-guided Zenlens Chroma HOA scleral lens with advanced OVITZ xwave technology, we can now correct previously "unfixable" visual distortions. This powerful combination neutralizes Higher-Order Aberrations (HOAs) with unprecedented precision, dramatically improving clarity and reducing frustrating symptoms such as halos and glare.
The Big Wins:
Researchers at the Atwater Eye Care Center at Indiana University analyzed data from 15 eyes with keratoconus. By using wavefront-guided technology to address the posterior cornea irregularities, researchers saw massive reductions in visual distortions:
⭐75% reduction in vertical coma
⭐79% reduction in horizontal coma
⭐76% reduction in spherical aberrations
Why This Matters:
As Dr. Jason Jedlicka (Indiana University School of Optometry) notes, this isn't just about clearer charts—it's about changing lives.
🏅Delaying Surgery: These lenses can improve vision enough to defer or permanently delay corneal surgery in advanced cases.
🏅Life-Changing Gains: Because these lenses address the back surface of the cornea, keratoconus patients with specific types of aberrations see the most dramatic results—with every study participant reporting "noticeable and significant" improvement.
🏅New Standard of Care: Wavefront-guided lenses are no longer a "future" tech—they are attainable today.
"It should no longer be acceptable for us as practitioners to settle for 20/30 or 20/40 vision for those patients when they could do better.” — Dr. Jason Jedlicka

‘New standard of care’: Zenlens Chroma HOA cuts higher-order aberrations in keratoconus Higher-order aberrations were corrected by around 75% in eyes with keratoconus fitted with Zenlens Chroma HOA, according to data presented at the Global Specialty Lens Symposium.“Patients with keratoconus absolutely gain the most [from higher-order aberration-correcting lenses], and that has e...
Wondering which of your patients benefit the most from Higher-Order Aberration (HOA) correction?
In our last video of the series with specialty contact lens expert Dr. Brooke Messer at Vance Thompson Vision. She breaks down the ideal candidates for HOA correction. Here is who you should be looking out for:
🌀 Keratoconus Patients: These individuals often see the most dramatic, life-changing benefits from HOA correction.
👁️ Post-LASIK Patients: Even if they are generally satisfied, they frequently have residual HOAs holding back their true visual potential.
🛑 Challenging Post-LASIK Cases: A total game-changer for post-surgical eyes struggling with regression, dryness, or soft lens intolerance.
🌊 General Irregular Corneas: Simply put, any patient with an irregular cornea has major potential for vision improvement.

How has the conversation around irregular corneas changed? 🗣️👁️
In our latest video, specialty contact lens expert Dr. Brooke Messer at Vance Thompson Vision discusses the massive impact of Higher-Order Aberration (HOA) correction on patient outcomes.
We have moved past the old vision limitations:
❌ The Old Standard: Settling for 20/30, relying on drops to shrink pupils, and accepting the limits of standard sclerals.
✅ The New Standard: Advanced HOA optics that reduce remaining visual "smearing" by an incredible 50% to 60%
The result? Cleaner, stable vision and a massive reduction in nighttime ghosting.

Have you ever witnessed a patient's "lightbulb moment" in the chair? 💡
In our newest video, Dr. Gidosh breaks down how the Ovitz system is completely transforming patient education and specialty lens outcomes at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry.
One of the biggest hurdles in specialty care is simply explaining why a patient is experiencing symptoms like "streaky vision" (coma). But by utilizing visual simulations—like Point Spread Functions—Dr. Gidosh is showing patients the exact root of their visual disturbances.
When patients finally understand the why, everything changes: ✨ Multiple lines of gained acuity ✨ Massive subjective relief ✨ Empowered, highly compliant patients
We’re not just fitting lenses; we’re clarifying lives.

The future of eye care is here! 🚀
Something big is happening at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry ! We caught up with Dr. Gidosh and Dr. Wong to talk about the "paradigm shift" in scleral lens technology and how the Ovitz xwave system is changing the game for our patients.
Why is everyone talking about it?
🎯Precision: Achieving results that were once thought impossible.
🔬Innovation: Our clinic is at the forefront of specialty lens fitting.
🤸Student-Approved: Our students use the Ovitz system nearly every day and love the seamless integration.
The verdict from the clinic floor? "It’s really easy to use!" 🙌

In the latest installment of our Mastering HOA Correction Series, specialty contact lens expert Dr. Brooke Messer at Vance Thompson Vision reveals the #1 secret to Higher-Order Aberration (HOA) success: Rotational Stability. 👁️⚡
The Workflow for Success:
1️⃣ Lock the Fit: Use aggressive haptics (toric, dual, or quad sags) to ensure the lens never rotates.
2️⃣ Timing is Everything: Don't chase astigmatism early! Order your HOA optics as soon as the lens rotation is stable.
3️⃣ Final Polish: Save your power and astigmatism tweaks for the very end once the HOA correction is doing the heavy lifting.
Stop chasing over-refractions and start locking in stability. Watch the interview for the clinical breakdown!

Are HOAs the "Ghost" in Your Patients' Vision? 👁️👻
Even with a perfect scleral fit, many patients still struggle with distorted vision. Dr. Brooke Messer at the Vance Thompson Vision breaks down a simple 3-step framework to identify and eliminate Higher-Order Aberrations (HOAs):
🔍 SPOT IT: Perform retinoscopy over the diagnostic lens. If you see sc******ng or a distorted reflex, you're likely looking at measurable HOAs.
📊 SHOW IT: Use an HOA plot to give your patients a "lightbulb moment." Point out specific labels like Coma or Trefoil to explain why they see "doubling" or smears.
✅ SOLVE IT: Upgrade to HOA-correcting scleral lenses. By combining standard power with customized optics, you can eliminate residual ghosting and deliver next-level clarity.
