Wavefront Treatments for LASIK in Northern California
Customized Laser Vision Correction
Wavefront is an advanced diagnostic technology for laser vision correction (LASIK) and surface ablation (PRK & LASEK) that creates a precise map of your eye, like a blue print. This map enables refractive surgeons to customize your laser vision correction treatment in ways they could not before. For a number of years, laser vision correction could not address more complex visual imperfections that can make even 20/20 vision seem less sharp, such as night glare and halos.
Wavefront technology identifies these highly complex imperfections by projecting light waves into your eye and mapping the waves that bounce back. That map is transmitted to the surgeon's laser. The surgeon then uses the map to reshape your cornea in a more customized manner, maintaining the best quality of vision in dim lighting, as well as reducing the incidence of halos and glare.
