Custom Wavefront LASIK Surgery

September 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

The LASIK procedure, is also known as wavefront LASIK or wavefront-guided LASIK. This procedure uses 3-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser in re-shaping the front part of your eye.
With a wavefront measurement system, some extremely definite, individualized vision correction outcomes can be achieved that would be almost impossible with

traditional surgery,lasik, contact lenses or even eyeglasses.

With custom procedure called LASIK, your eye’s capability to concentrate light rays is measured, and a 3-D map is elaborated that demonstrates irregularities

in the way the eye processes images. Generally speaking, information contained in the map guides the laser in customizing the treatment to reshape your eye’s

corneal surface so that these irregularities can be corrected.

This wavefront technology is great because it has the real potential to improve not only how much you can see, but also how well you can see. In another

words, we can say the risk is reduced of post-LASIK complications, such as halos, glare, or difficulty with the night vision.
How much you see after this procedure is done it depends on vision defects known as lower-order aberrations associated with common myopia or hyperopia or

maybe even astigmatism, which traditional LASIK operation can treat.
