Allows precision.: Wavefront guided lasik uses computer modeling to allow the eye laser to correct abnormalities of the cornea that are normally there in nature. This type of treatment may give superior vision correction in the right patient. See your eye surgeon for more info and have a great day!

Wavefront guided: Prior to the procedure, your wavefront or how your eye bends light that enters your eye is recorded. The laser then uses your wavefront to guide the laser during your surgery to provide you with the highest quality vision. A wavefront guided procedure provides a laser pattern specific to your eyes.

Custom laser: Its also called the custom lasik. Wavefront uses the person's eye print (similar to your finger print) to correct the person refractive error during lasik surgery. Each individual has his or her own unique eye pattern.

Complex: Wavefront guided lasik is a procedure for people who have unusual eyes that cannot be adequately corrected with standard lasik. Only a small percentage of people getting lasik need this.
