CustomVue® Wavefront Technology

What is Wavefront Technology?

Wavefront technology has been used for years to adjust telescopes to eliminate aberrations caused by the earth's atmosphere. This technology, applied to LASIK surgery, offers a very high degree of safety and precision in shaping the cornea. Wavefront technology is used both to diagnose aberrations, as well as to ablate the excess tissue.

What are the Advantages of Wavefront Technology?

The CustomVue® wavefront can pinpoint a broader range of refractive errors than other diagnostic methods, giving many patients, who could not qualify for other procedures, the option for LASIK corrective surgery. As a diagnostic measure, CustomVue® wavefront is accurate enough to determine if the patients' aberrations would be made worse from surgery, or it can determine which LASIK procedure is best for the specific individual.

CustomVue® wavefront's accuracy in ablating excess corneal tissue results in more precise shaping of the cornea. Many patients experience outcomes of better than 20/20 vision. It can also diagnose higher order aberrations better than other diagnostic methods can.

And If That Isn't Enough

According to USAeyes.org, a LASIK-patient advocacy organization, "…virtually every person considering Lasik, LASEK, PRK, or Epi-Lasik should have a wavefront diagnostic evaluation." Read more about CustomVue® and wavefront technology.
