CUSTOM LASIK - What is it ?

The FDA has recently approved a new technology that may change how your eye doctor treats your vision problems. It's called Custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that uses the unique visual characteristics of your eye to customize your treatment.

Custom LASIK 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. This 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.

CUSTOM LASIK - In your area.

For those looking for a more advanced LASIK procedure, the FDA has approved a technology that allows your surgeon to customize the procedure directly to you and your eyes. This procedure is called Custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is the same laser vision correction you are familiar with - but more suited to you as an individual. A device called a "Wavefront Analyzer" takes a detailed map of your eye, measuring the reflectivity of light, and analyzing the contour of your corner. The wavefront analyzer then creates a 3-dimensional map of your eye that is programmed to the laser, thus resulting in a near perfect, customized LASIK procedure!
