What is Custom LASIK

"Personalized Vision Correction"

CustomLASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that uses the unique visual characteristics of your eye to customize your treatment. It provides an additional level of precise data about your vision requirements using wavefront technology. A device called 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. The device then creates a 3-D wavefront map that is unique in the same way that your DNA is unique to you. Your wavefront map provides a detailed diagram of your vision that allows your doctor to provide you with truly personalized vision correction.

Several Types of visual imperfections, referred to as lower and higher aberrations exist within the eye and can affect your vision. With convential LASIK, only lower aberrations (such as: nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism)can be measured and treated. However, these do not account for all potential vision imperfections. Higher order aberrations can also have a signficant impact on one's vision.

CustomLASIK may help to correct these higher order aberrations that, in the past, could not be adequately corrected with glasses, contacts or conventional LASIK treatments. CustomLASIK may provide you with a better quality of vision.
