LADARWave Custom Cornea Wavefront System
Custom WaveFront LASIK
CustomCornea® is an exciting new laser vision correction procedure that's capable of addressing both the familiar refractive vision problem, nearsightedness, as well as a range of visual distortions called higher order aberrations. Through a completely customized approach, using data collected directly from your eye to drive the procedure, the procedure aims to improve both visual acuity and visual quality.
While traditional laser vision correction can help with familiar refractive vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, CustomCornea® can go further and help with a range of visual problems that were not able to be measured before. The goal of traditional laser vision correction procedures is to improve visual acuity. With CustomCornea® the goal is to improve both your visual acuity and visual quality.
How will I know if I should have CustomCornea® instead of traditional laser vision correction?
Determination of having CustomCornea® vs. traditional laser vision correction should be made by your doctor, based on a pre-operative examination that includes wavefront analysis. Your doctor will take a wavefront map of your eyes. Wavefront mapping plots the errors in your entire optical system by passing a narrow ray of eye-safe light through the optical system and measuring the optical distortion as the light exits the eye. These patterns are then compared to a flat wavefront map. In CustomCornea® with the LADARVision® System these maps are used to guide your doctor's surgical planning, and the laser during treatments.
