Your eyes are as unique as your fingerprints. The most precise LASIK laser vision correction technology, called Wavefront, addresses these highly individual characteristics.
Wavefront technology captures each eye’s unique imperfections, creates a detailed 3D map of the surface of the cornea, translates that information into digital treatment instructions, and sends them directly to the Excimer Laser.
In 2003, the FDA approved Bausch & Lomb’s Zyoptix wavefront excimer custom laser. This sophisticated laser system traces the unique contours of the eye to produce a precise three-dimensional map. This map allows the doctor to detect and solve the tiniest aberrations, resulting in a much higher percentage of patients achieving 20/20 vision in just one treatment, and a much lower likelihood of night vision problems.
What Does All This Mean For You?
It means highly personalized treatment of the corneal conditions that have been creating your vision problems.
Wavefront technology is groundbreaking because it has the potential to improve not only how much you can see, (for example, 20/20 or better), but also how well you see, with what clarity and detail.
Custom LASIK also means reduced risk of post-LASIK complications, such as glare, halos, and night vision problems. Custom or Wavefront is more expensive than ‘traditional LASIK’ but is considered the norm for achieving complication-free 20/20 vision.
