For me, WAVE contact lens technologies set the standard in modern contact lens fitting. The ability to design individual lens geometries precisely according to topographical data and individual eye shape means that even complex corneal shapes can be reliably treated.

A tool that not only makes our daily work more efficient, but also visibly improves our results.

At Pfarrer Contact Lenses, we have spent 50 years dedicated to improving quality of life with contact lenses, offering a personal and attentive service.
Occasionally, challenging cases reveal the limitations of conventionally manufactured rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses.

The system offers full control over contact lens fitting and adjustments based on profilometry measurements, all without compromising on expertise.

Working with WAVE has reshaped the way I think about contact lens fitting in my practice. What I value most is the sense of possibility it brings. Cases that once seemed difficult or uncertain now feel open, manageable — and genuinely solvable. The level of customisation is extraordinary. With WAVE, each cornea receives a design uniquely tailored to that eye. In keratoconus, irregular corneas, high astigmatism — I am no longer trying to fit the patient to the lens. I fit the lens to the patient.

WAVE encourages a higher level of clinical precision and attention. It asks you to be thoughtful and intentional — but what it gives in return is transformative: the ability to deliver clear, comfortable, truly personalised visual outcomes. Once you begin working with WAVE, your approach to speciality lens fitting evolves. There is no going back — only forward, with more clarity, more solutions, and more patients whose lives are changed by a lens that genuinely fits them.

The Precision Tool of Modern Contact Lens Design. The WAVE software has become our true precision tool in the design and manufacturing of freeform contact lenses based on profilometry.

Thanks to its intuitive interface, advanced simulation tools, and our close collaboration with the WAVE team, we can work with micrometric precision, optimizing every lens in real time to ensure perfect fit, exceptional visual quality, and superior comfort. WAVE represents for us a true turning point in specialty contact lens practice — an indispensable partner that allows us to deliver the best possible visual outcomes for our patients.

I have been designing all my rigid lenses for more than 27 years. The process became much easier with the introduction of corneal topography for both corneal and orthokeratology lenses. However, when it came to scleral lenses, even with the availability of corneoscleral profilometry, designing lenses that achieved optimal alignment remained time-consuming. With the introduction of WAVE in Europe, everything changed.

Although some complex cases still require additional time during the design phase, I consider that time an investment that ultimately saves hours later by minimizing modifications and follow-up visits.

WAVE and Eyeprint contact lens fitting technologies represent the pinnacle of customized vision care. By using advanced topography or ocular surface impression mapping, they allow practitioners to design lenses that match the exact curvature and contour of each individual eye. This has the potential to result in exceptional visual clarity, greater all-day comfort, and healthier lens wear.
