Pretty much all of us have some kind of inconsistency, or ‘aberration’ with the shape or surface of our eyes. Think of the aberrations as tiny imperfections in eye shape, functionality, or consistency that deviate the normal path of light reaching the retina.
Common aberrations such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism are easily diagnosed – and corrected – with spectacles, contact lenses, or laser eye surgery.

Common aberrations such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism are easily diagnosed – and corrected – with spectacles, contact lenses, or laser eye surgery.
Some people, however, have more complex vision errors. Optometrists call these errors Higher Order Aberrations, or HOAs for short. (Learn more about HOAs here.) People with HOAs can have more significant issues with their vision. Common symptoms are difficulty seeing in low light, or seeing artifacts around lights such as glows, halos, star-shaped patterns, or blurring vision.
There are various types of Higher Order Aberrations, and they can sometimes be caused by particular kinds of diseases such as keratoconus or eye injuries, or even from post-operative issues from LASIK surgery. Also, HOAs usually increase with age.

Not only are eyes with HOAs much harder to measure and correct with conventional optometry equipment, they’re also much harder for eye doctors to correct. Conventional spectacles or contacts rarely offer much help and while specialist bespoke solutions exist, they’re time-consuming and extremely expensive.
OVITZ has developed the world’s first streamlined technology that corrects the full spectrum of Higher Order Aberrations, both on the surface and within the eye.
It all starts for you by visiting an OVITZ-Authorized Doctor, who will scan your eyes with the OVITZ xwave aberrometer.
Our experts are available to your doctors to carefully review your HOA data along with your visual needs to create a unique optical design to help you see more clearly
We design the optics for your custom lenses based on OVITZ’s AI-powered system and the world’s largest library of proven HOA designs. Your personalized HOA design is then sent to a contact lens laboratory specially selected by your eye doctor, and soon you’ll be wearing your new OVITZ-Added Lenses.
Helping you see more clearly is why we — the entire team at OVITZ — have committed ourselves to building OVITZ into the leading solution for correcting vision for people like you with HOAs.
Thousands of OVITZ patients with higher-order aberrations (HOAs) are now enjoying clearer vision and a significantly improved quality of life. Here are some of their stories.
“No other scleral contact lens got even close to the vision acuity I now have with the OVITZ Ares lens. With the other lenses I tried, I was still seeing double, but the OVITZ technology and Ares Lens have corrected that.”
– Gage B, Florida
“With my OVITZ-Authorized Doctor and new OVITZ Ares lenses, my vision is spectacular. I’m able to see things I couldn’t see before, and I’m able to do things I couldn’t do before, like driving at night.”
– Sheila X, New York
“Using standard contacts, I was never able to get great vision. When my OVITZ-Authorized Doctor fit me with the OVITZ Ares lens, I got better vision than I’ve ever had before. I feel like I’m 10 years younger in terms of my vision.”
– Mike T, New York
“After a LASIK procedure missed the mark, my OVITZ-Authorized Doctor, and the OVITZ Ares lens, helped me regain the freedom and function to live and work as I need to. ”
– Greg W, New York
