The XFRACTION ℠, is the combination of two distinct but correlated steps: Optical Path Diagnostix and professional treatment with a Wavefront Optimized Refraxion. This industry shaping process optimizes refraction and all the downstream benefits of enhanced refractive diagnostics with the addition of advanced wavefront technology- providing the most comprehensive picture of the total visual system in a fraction of the time.

Knowledge
Over 20 diagnostics are captured in 10 seconds per eye, providing a large amount of accurate, relevant, and easily interpreted data for rapid diagnostic triage between patients that may/may not achieve 20/20 corrected vision…and exactly why/why not.

Speed
5-7 minutes can be saved on every wavefront patient, enhancing patient throughput while allowing time for patient education and setting correct expectations. EMR automation instantaneously fills over 50 fields without transcription error.

Outcomes
While the patient experience is enhanced with faster testing, greater understanding, and technology appreciation, practice profits reflect more accurate Rxs, superior IOL selections, higher patient retention and references.
