California Lasik Eye Surgery : What Is Wavefront Lasik Customization?




Our eyes have higher order aberrations that are not correctable with glasses or contact lenses. In order to resolve these higher-order aberrations that are often linked to the visual glare and halos that cause night vision problems and vision quality, Wavefront Lasik Customization can be used.

A wavefront map is used to diagnose and measure the higher order aberrations. This Wavefront map is created by bouncing harmless light rays off the patient’s retina.

Results are then fed into a complex computation program, which calculates a superior ablation profile that not only attempts to retain the natural shape of the cornea but also targets any previous aberrations within a patient’s eye.

Moreover, the higher speed laser shortens the surgery time to provide greater patient comfort and increased reliability.

A specialized laser algorithm called Optimization is then used to retain the natural shape of the patient’s cornea. By trying to keep the natural shape of the cornea, the surgeon personalizes the surgery to adjust for the natural shape, thickness, and prescription of each patient’s eye.

The benefits are as follows:

1. Improved treatment accuracy

2. Increased quality of vision

3. Reduced chance of night vision problems, such as halos
