Subjective refraction, the procedure performed by your optician to determine your prescription, is generally conducted in daylight. Patients must play an active role and describe what they see with the various test lenses. Their pupils are contracted due to the daylight conditions. In other words, only the patient's daytime vision is taken into account in the measurement.
However, the measurement performed with the i.Profilerplus is objective. The patient just looks into the measuring system for a very short time. In a matter of seconds, the wavefront technology analyses 1,500 measuring points and maps the retinas of the two eyes. This enables the optician to analyse your vision potential at night with dilated pupils.
The 1,500 individual measurements are incorporated in the production of the lens along with the values measured during subjective refraction. Individualised lenses featuring i.Scription technology can then be produced that can considerably improve not only night vision but also the perception of contrast and colour.
