LASIK

Hello everyone! I would like to share some information about Custom LASIK. It seems to cause confusion so let me explain: Standard LASIK treatment for myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism is based only on the prescription. For example if your eyeglass prescription is -2.00, the laser is set for and delivers -2.00. If you have an eyeglass prescription of +1.50, the laser is set and delivers +1.50. It’s that simple. Now a custom LASIK treatment starts with a custom “wavefront” scan. This eye scanning device will look for any odd or unique focusing abnormalities beyond a simple focus error. These odd or unique errors (high order aberrations) create optical distortion which if significant t enough and left uncorrected could detract from the final outcome. Not everyone has optical distortions of a significant magnitude, but the scan can find them and then reveal their % and hence give the surgeon the information to offer this custom treatment. So custom scans and custom treatments can out-perform the standard way and give you high definition vision. It can be worth the extra investment.
