Customized Wavefront Mapping Technologies

Your vision is unique. It is as personal as your fingerprint or DNA. For many patients there are numerous reasons for poor vision. In a single eye there may be a number of visual imperfections and these imperfections are called aberrations. These aberrations are classified as higher-order aberrations and lower-order aberrations. In the past your ophthalmologist or optometrist was only able to correct lower-order aberrations such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. These lower order aberrations can be corrected with glasses, contacts, or conventional LASIK eye surgery. However, higher order aberrations can not be corrected with glasses, contacts or even with traditional LASIK eye surgery.

Today, new wavefront mapping technology is available. It examines the entire optical system, allowing for both lower-order and higher-order aberrations to be detected, measured and mapped. The ability to diagnose and treat lower and higher order aberrations leads to the ability to correct them, resulting in customized Wavefront LASIK.

Using the wavefront-based digital technology, doctors at the Spectrum Eye Laser Vision Correction Center can now identify, measure and correct imperfections in an individuals eyes 25 times more precisely than with standard methods used for glasses and contacts. This information is transferred to the laser, providing a new level of precision and accuracy. Yes, you may have the potential to experience better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses. Are you a candidate for customized wavefront LASIK?
