NASA Technology Crafting the giant lenses for the forthcoming James
Webb Space Telescope (JWST) requires a lot of grinding, polishing, and testing.
To polish the mirrors, NASA contracted with a company that innovated technology to hasten the process and reduce costs.
Goddard Space Flight Center
Abbott Medical Optics Santa Ana, CA
Benefits The iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio can
map the contours of the eye in three seconds, with the resulting data transferred directly to the laser.
iDesign also measures distorted surfaces associated with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, among others.
Spinoff 2012 Health and Medicine
Telescope Innovations Improve Speed, Accuracy of Eye Surgery
Technology Transfer WaveFront Science, the subcontractor involved in
the project, not only solved a problem for NASA but also created a device that produces detailed maps of the human eye useful for diagnosing disease.
Abbott Medical Optics acquired WaveFront Science and used the NASA-funded technology to develop its product, which maps the eye in preparation for LASIK surgery.
