Definitions for "Custom LASIK"
Custom LASIK surgery incorporates the use of wavefront-guided technology to create a three dimensional map of vision impairments. This technology allows the surgeon to remove an exact amount of corneal tissue, tailoring the laser vision correction to individual visual flaws.
A custom treatment is a wavefront-guided procedure. However, every procedure we perform at the Excimer Laser Vision Centre is a "customised" procedure as your examination is a highly detailed, personalised evaluation. We carefully assess your eyes with our wavefront technology, which is the NIDEK OPD Scan, and then adjust and customise your treatment depending on your pupil size, refraction, corneal topography and all other test results. The ability to adjust the NIDEK EC-5000 CXII Excimer Laser's optical zone size and transition zone allows for a truly customised treatment. The adjustability of the laser is one of the most important factors in providing a customised treatment for each individual patient.
There's a new wave in LASIK/LASEK. The Food and Drug Administration approved a new technology that will change how we view your vision problems. It's called custom LASIK/LASEK: the laser eye treatment is based upon the very unique visual characteristics of you eye. Up until now, with glasses, contacts and covential LASIK surgery, correction were quite similar for each type of prescription – myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. - Go to top
