Keratron Scout Support
Wave 8.0 Software Update Details
The new features are outlined below with screen grabs and in most cases videos. Click on the links to view the videos.
Wave 8.01's Fluorescein view is greatly optimized to show a more "true" representation of the lens on the eye. Maps more closely represent what you actually see in the slit lamp. However you may need to reorient yourself to the new view.
Compare Lens Designs - Load a previous design and compare it to a later design. Both TF graphs are shown together. Difference data is displayed as you drag the mouse across the graph.
Rotate or tilt the lens in fluorescein view. Tilt the lens on any of the meridians by clicking on a specific meridian. The lens tilts in 1, 4 or 8 micron step (see "Tear Film Steps" below). Tilt effects are displayed in the tear film graph.
Tear Film Steps (no video)
Increase the tear film steps arrows (under each dot) to 1, 4 or 8 micron steps for each click (on the box left of Tangential). (Formerly limited 1 micron steps for each click.)
Enhanced Custom Configuration - Edge Angle, Blend and Aspheric Node are all added
Modify Lens and Free Form Edges
Free Form Edge - Automatically create a Free Form edge around the lens. This option might be considered on toric eyes when fitting larger lenses.
When designing an RSym lens, sometimes you need just a bit of Free Form design control. Select the Modify option to design a hybrid lens. The price of the RSym will change accordingly.
Aspheric node function - works in concert with the Blend option and Shape Factor. Controls where the aspheric curve begins as you move para-centrally. Useful with myopic and hyperopic ok.
Edge Angle Display (no video)
Edge Angle is now displayed permanently on the graph.
Click on the green dot to toggle into touch mode on Win 8 tablets.
Medmont Interface improvement - New routine to save and recall designs. No longer necessary to use File Explorer
Oculus Pentacam and Keratograph Compatibility - Now Oculus owners can design and fit Wave lenses
