VISX Wavefront Technology
VISX Wavefront technology - know the difference!
Wavefront Diagnostics
Laser wavefront technology can be used for diagnostic testing to assist in screening out inappropriate candidates for laser vision correction. Some laser eye surgery centers imply that they perform wavefront laser eye corrections when in reality they are only using wavefront diagnostics!
Wavefront Directed Laser Vision Correction
Wavefront technology can be used to provide a somewhat more precise standard prescription for eye glasses or conventional laser vision correction. This is nowhere near as precise as a full custom wavefront treatment. Some laser eye surgery centers imply that they perform wavefront corrections when in reality they are only using wavefront directed standard corrections. Wavefront directed corrections are good. However, they still lack the full potential of wavefront!
Custom Wavefront Laser Vision Correction - VISX CustomVue™
The full benefit of wavefront laser technology is only available with VISX CustomVue™. Twenty-five times the precision of conventional LASIK or wavefront directed LASIK. CustomVUE™ has the potential to provide vision better than 20/20, better than with eyeglasses or contact lenses, and improve night vision. When comparing laser eye surgery centers and surgeons, be certain to ask if they perform CustomVue treatments. These treatments require the VISX WaveScan aberrometer, the VISX Star S4 laser, and a surgeon certified to perform CustomVue treatments. Know the difference! Be sure to ask!
