Wavefront LASIK
Wavefront LASIK is one of the most advanced refractive surgery technologies in the present industry. This surgical technique claims high quality of vision correction and sustained outcomes as well. To date, experienced ophthalmic surgeons all over the world have performed Wavefront LASIK surgery on a large number of patients where certain vision imperfections and in particular the "higher order aberrations" are adequately corrected and resulted in greater chances of attaining 20/20 vision. Moreover, it is observed that visual distortions like contrast sensitivity, night vision disturbances, halos and glares can be resolved successfully when the LASIK Surgery is done with the help of the Wavefront technology.
Wavefront technology is one of the latest FDA approved Eye Laser vision correction surgical techniques available today. It measures "total focusing errors" much better than any conventional Laser Vision Correction techniques. With a suite of the state-of-art technologies and instruments including LADARWave®, LADARVision® CUSTOMCORNEA®, Fort Worth, NIDEK, VISX, Bausch & Lomb, Allegretto Wave, and WaveLight, wavefront Laser systems effectively generate distinctive information about optical aberrations and thus help in adjusting the ablation profile of the patient having higher order aberrations. The surgical procedure involves reshaping the cornea which either reduces or successfully eliminates both lower and higher order aberrations that affect the quality of vision. In patients having lower order aberrations like myopia, nearsightedness, hyperopia, etc, Wavefront LASIK surgery seems to be most successful. Clinical reports provide that patients who have low myopia or uncorrected visual acuities between -2 D and -4 D can achieve better vision beyond 20/20.
The use of the wavefront technology in Laser surgical procedure is advantageous for patients who are suffering from under-corrected visual acuity and lost best-corrected vision from previously conducted refractive surgeries. The chance of attaining best-corrected vision is greater here. You can get more sharp and clear vision after the Wavefront LASIK surgery without any hassles. You can also get better night vision without glasses or lens.
Wavefront LASIK surgery facilitates the attainment of custom vision correction. Wavefront-optimized systems help eye surgeons to develop unique and customized treatment plans for individual patients as well as for their personal eye problems. The procedure not only causes precise and localized effects during corneal re-configuration but also offers predictable results after the surgery, further minimizing potential risks and initiating a faster healing process.
