LASIK & Wavefront LASIK - Is it Right for Me?

What Is Custom LASIK or Wavefront LASIK?

Custom LASIK is another name for Wavefront LASIK or to be more accurate Wavefront Guided LASIK. Using a three dimensional image mapped out by a computer, by retrieving information on how your eye processes images to guide the laser it reshapes the cornea to correct your vision. Through this process a precise and individualized vision treatment plan is put together, which is not possible with traditional LASIK.

What Are The Benefits of Wavefront-Guided Custom LASIK?

Many of the reasons for people being apprehensive about LASIK are the post-LASIK complications that may occur, such as glare, halos and difficulty seeing at night. However, with cutting-edge Wavefront technology - not only does it reduce the possibility of the post-LASIK side effects and the potential to improve your vision based on the standard 20/20 chart, but has the potential to improve the fine details and better contrast.

Combining Wavefront and LASIK For Effective, Personalized Perfect Vision

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 technology, 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.

If you live in Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Boise, Idaho; Spokane, Washington; Billings, Montana, Alaska or anywhere in the Pacific Northwest and are interested in learning more about wavefront LASIK laser eye surgery, contact us today.

LASIK Can Deliver Better Than Perfect Vision

When conventional LASIK was first developed in the 1990's, it was capable of delivering good enough vision for most people to pass a driver's exam without corrective lenses (20/40). Many of these people were fortunate enough to get an exceptional result of 20/20, but the baseline expectation was 20/40.

Technological advances in Wavefront guided LASIK and femtosecond laser flap creation have raised the bar so that 20/20 is now the baseline expectation and 20/16 or better is the goal.

Wavefront LASIK reshapes the cornea by using three-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser. This provides a precise and individualized vision experience that would be otherwise impossible to achieve with traditional LASIK.

The advantage of Wavefront LASIK is that it offers a higher quality of vision and not just a measure of how much you can see. On top of being able to achieve 20/20 or better vision, there is a reduced chance of losing visual quality such as contrast sensitivity, vision at night and distorted vision effects such as halos and glares.

How Does Wavefront LASIK Work?

The Wavefront laser safely emits a light into the eye where it maps out a visual pattern of your lower and higher-order aberrations. This pattern is displayed as a three dimensional map, known as a Wavefront map. This map allows the surgeon to customize the LASIK procedure to the unique pattern that is associated with your eye, giving you a customized procedure.

What Are The Benefits of Wavefront-Guided Custom LASIK?

Many of the concerns surrounding LASIK are the post LASIK complications that may occur, such as glare, halos and difficulty seeing at night, which is why Wavefront technology is cutting-edge. It not only has the potential to improve your vision based on the standard 20/20 chart, but has the potential to improve the fine details and better contrast.

Lower-order aberrations or small defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism can determine how much you can see. These defects can be treated with traditional LASIK.

Higher-order aberrations or a measure of visual distortions more severe than normal vision problems that cause decreased vision at night, glare, shadows and halos cannot be treated with traditional LASIK and are sometimes a side effect of traditional LASIK. Thus the amount of higher-order aberrations determines how well you see. Wavefront LASIK can address these higher-order aberrations.

Wavefront LASIK has the advantage of offering a higher quality of vision and not just a measure of how much you can see. On top of being able to achieve 20/20 or better vision, there is a reduced chance of losing visual quality such as contrast sensitivity, vision at night and distorted vision effects such as halos and glares.

Wavefront LASIK is also ideal for those who have had vision correction procedures done already and have since lost the corrected vision, from previous LASIK, PRK and RK procedures.
