Customized Wavefront Lasik surgery may provide you with a better quality of vision when compared with other methods of laser vision correction. The FDA has recently approved Custom Wavefont Lasik, the next generation in customized lasik vision correction that maps the unique visual characteristics of your eye.
Custom Lasik uses wavefront technology to provide an additional level of precise data about your vision requirements. A wavefront analyzer measures the way light travels through your eye and compares it to the way light travels through an eye with perfect vision. It then creates a unique 3-D wavefront map of your eyes. This map allows your doctor to provide you with a truly personalized vision correction solution.
Several types of visual imperfections, referred to as lower- and higher-order aberrations, can affect your vision. Custom Lasik helps correct higher-order aberrations, including problems related to night vision or glare that, in the past, could not be adequately corrected or prevented with glasses, contacts, or conventional lasik surgery treatments.
