In clinical studies, Custom LASIK has been able to provide patients with a greater chance of achieving 20/20 vision and potentially better overall vision even at night. |
While conventional LASIK has been performed for over two decades and was a complete revolution in vision correction, Woolfson Eye Institute also offers the latest in laser vision correction technology referred to as Custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is a procedure that enables Dr. Woolfson to further customize the conventional LASIK procedure to your individual eyes. The Custom LASIK procedure may result in patients seeing clearer and sharper than ever before. Several FDA studies have shown that Custom LASIK may produce better vision than is possible with contact lenses or glasses.
Higher Order Aberrations
 Several types of visual imperfections, referred to as lower- and higher-order aberrations, exist within the eye and may affect your vision (the amount of these aberrations vary from person to person). Previously, only lower-order aberrations (such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism) could be measured and treated. Higher-order aberrations may also have a significant impact on vision and have been linked to glare and halos. Now Custom LASIK may help to further customize your treatment of these higher-order aberrations that, in the past, could not be adequately treated with glasses, contacts or conventional LASIK treatments. Your doctor will recommend the best procedure for you based on your personal aberrations. |
The Technology of Custom LASIK
| Custom LASIK uses a wavefront analyzer to measure the way light travels through your eye. The wavefront analyzer creates a customized 3-D map of your eye that looks at your entire optical system. This map provides information about the unique visual characteristics of your eye which adds an additional level of data about your vision, enabling your WEI surgeon to further customize your vision correction |
"Have you ever felt that you've been given a new lease on life? That's exactly how I feel since I've had LASIK. Instead of green fuzz around a tree trunk, I can now actually see the outline of the leaves. I have the chance again to enjoy so many of the little things in our everyday life that we take so much for granted. Thank you so much, Dr. Woolfson, for renewing my eyesight and giving me the chance to see clearly again."
