How does this new procedure work?
Waves of light are passed through the eye, measuring minute irregularities.
As the waves exit the eye, a computer compares them to an ideal “WAVEfront,”
which equals “perfect” vision. The difference is calculated
and a personalized 3D map of the exact pattern needed for vision correction
is programmed and used to guide the laser when it reshapes the eye.
Am I a candidate for WAVEfront surgery?
Candidates include nearsighted people, but not those who use reading
glasses. (If you use reading glasses, you may be a candidate for CK®,
another one of our procedures). WAVEfront will be the best choice for
some patients. The best way to determine your candidacy and which procedure
is best for you is to come to one of our centers for a free screening.
What are the benefits of having the WAVEfront surgery?
LASIK has proven to be a safe and effective procedure. WAVEfront technology
takes LASIK to the next level of visual success by offering greater
potential for perfect vision for some patients. For patients who have
more complicated prescriptions or have had a previous problem, WAVEfront
will offer substantial benefits.
