Custom Laser Vision Correction

Custom laser vision correction is a new way of performing laser treatment that produces, on average, improved vision, particularly better night vision. The information below shows how patients compare their night vision without glasses after wavefront custom Lasik to their vision beforehand with glasses or contact lenses:

Daytime vision is also, on average, better after Wavefront Lasik than with glasses or contact lenses:

How does Custom laser vision correction do this? The eye has many minor imperfections that are not corrected by glasses or contact lenses. These are known as higher-order aberrations. Custom technology allows us to correct for these imperfections, which cannot be achieved with glasses or contact lenses. Vision after Custom laser vision correction is often better than it was with glasses or contact lenses. Whereas many patients treated with the Alcon Ladar6000 and Visx S4 are not able to have a Custom treatment, all treatments with the WaveLight Allegretto laser are Custom.
