OQAS

OQAS (Optical Quality Analysis System)

Are you unhappy with your vision despite being told that you have “20/20” vision by your eye care practitioner? Do you notice more difficulty seeing during the night as compared to the day?

Naturally, the eye has inherent distortions that affect the quality of your vision. These distortions, also known as higher order aberrations, have a significant impact on the sharpness and detail of the image viewed. Additionally, as the eye ages, light that enters the visual system becomes more scattered due to evolution of cataracts. This contributes to the troublesome halos and starbursts many people notice in low lighting environments.

OQAS provides an objective measurement of the optical quality of the eye. A punctual light source is imaged on your retina, and the size and shape of this light spot is analyzed as it passes through the various ocular structures by the OQAS. Both 2- and 3-dimenstional maps of the retinal image are generated to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the performance of your visual system. Now objective measurements of “true vision quality” are available to effectively monitor the results of your LASIK or cataract surgery.
