3-D Wave Wavefront Analyzer
Since our office is dedicated to providing you the newest in eye care technology, Wrigley Eye Associates is the first eye care practice in Philadelphia to offer our patients a new, "revolutionary", way of collecting data from a person's eye.
The 3-D Wave analyzer measures the entire optical system of the eye custom by mapping 27 dimensions rather than the two dimensions previously available. It provides a complete map of the many surfaces of the eye, as well as providing information on contact lens fitting, disease diagnosis, and refractive and cataract surgery screening.
It can help make eyesight even better and explain why patients have more difficulty seeing in different conditions, such as nighttime. The analyzer is "patient friendly" by taking a few seconds to measure and will take some of the guesswork out of choosing your prescription.
Our optical boutique has the smartest styles in frames and lenses. "Frameless" frames, such as Silhouette are stronger and lighter than ever. Let us order your prescription in one with the thinnest, glare-free lenses. It will look and feel as if you are wearing nothing at all, and you will see better because of the elimination of distortion.
We also have the hottest styles in sunwear for your prescription or to wear over your contacts. The Dior sunglasses are the rage in Hollywood; the larger plastic frames, such as Gucci, Fendi and Nautica, provide more protection from the UV rays; and the new Smart Clips are magnetic, making it easier to clip on and off. Come in today and allow our opticians to style you with the latest, fashionable sunwear. To cut glare, add polarized lenses.

SynergEyes lenses deliver the crisp vision of a rigid lens plus the all-day comfort of a soft lens. For our patients who have Keratoconus (which means cone-shaped cornea) we offer the SynergEyes and the Rose K lens design. For more information about Keratoconus, feel free to visit The National Keratoconus Foundation web site at www.nkcf.org. We also fit specialty contact lenses for our non-Keratoconus patients. Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.
Most people with vision correction issues are wanting to know more about LASIK and whether it is right for them. Here is a brief description of the procedure;
A flap is created in the cornea and gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea into a flatter shape (this is much like a contact lens corrects vision by forming a new shape on the cornea). The flap is then put back in place, acting like a natural bandage. The healing process is quick and the discomfort level is quite low.
People will often say that they did not feel anything, and could see well the very first day. Most people have improved vision in 24-48 hours. but it must be noted that each person will heal at a different rate. Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, often continues to improve for some weeks, even months.
LASIK is not for everyone. People's eyes are different so even though you may have had a friend who has had LASIK, it may not be the best course of treatment for you. If you are interested in laser vision correction, we will be happy to guide you in picking the right surgeon, procedure and laser appropriate for you.
After the procedure, we take great care to monitor your eyes and adjust your medication for the best possible results.
