Custom LASIK | Philadelphia | New Jersey

The FDA has approved a new technology that change how your eye doctor treats your vision problems. It's called Custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that uses the unique visual characteristics of your eye to customize your treatment. 

Custom LASIK | Philadelphia | New Jersey
Custom LASIK provides an additional level of precise data about your vision requirements using wavefront technology. A device called a wavefront analyzer measures the way light travels through your eye and compares it to the way light travels through an eye with perfect vision. This device then creates a 3-D wavefront map that is unique in the same way that your DNA is unique to you. Your wavefront map provides a detailed diagram of your vision that allows your doctor to provide you with truly personalized vision correction. 

Custom LASIK is the latest vision correction procedure that provides your doctor with the tools to take a precise measurement of your eyes, like a "fingerprint" of your vision. This custom "fingerprint" is then transmitted to the laser, enabling your surgeon to customize the LASIK procedure to your individual vision requirements. 

Many patients who were not candidates for conventional LASIK may now be candidates for Custom LASIK.

Several types of visual imperfections, referred to as lower- and higher-order aberrations, exist within the eye and can affect your vision. To date, only lower-order aberrations (such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism) could be measured and treated. However, these do not account for all potential vision imperfections. Higher-order aberrations can also have a significant impact on one's vision. 

Custom LASIK may help to correct these higher-order aberrations that, in the past, could not be adequately corrected with glasses, contacts or conventional LASIK treatments. According to experts, Custom LASIK may provide you with a better quality of vision.
