What is Wavefront treatment?

Wavefront is a laser treatment developed to make the LASIK procedure even more effective. Wavefront allows for a complete, personalized measurement of the entire visual system, including the eye's shape, lens shape, corneal shape, depth of the eye, and the most accurate identification possible of anatomic anomalies that could cause vision conditions such as impaired night vision or presence of halos.

Thanks to wavefront, a highly accurate, FDA-approved laser can correct all or most vision problems with one treatment, whereas traditional LASIK is more limited in the number of errors it can simultaneously correct.
