WE ONLY OFFER CUSTOMIZED LASER EYE CORRECTION
We use the best of the best lasers (a Zeiss Meditec MEL-80), which customize the treatment without increasing the cost.
Standard vs Custom Treatment
Laser Vision Correction (LVC) uses the energy of the excimer laser to remove corneal tissue, and sculpt it into a new shape, to change the focal point of the eye. This is how refractive surgery is used to treat common vision problems such as astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness.
With standard or conventional laser vision correction, the ablation pattern by the laser on the cornea is based upon the patient’s eyeglass prescription. Standard laser vision correction treatment is effective for most patients, but can result in visual aberrations, such as glare, halos, and night vision issues.
Custom laser vision correction surgery (also known as wavefront-optimized LVC) is a more sophisticated laser treatment. It uses not only the patient’s refractive error (eyeglass prescription) but also information derived from the surface mapping of the cornea (topography) and wavefront pattern (measuring more subtle cornea distortions or HOA – higher order aberrations) as data for the laser treatment.
better visual result than Standard laser vision correction.
It is guided by a detailed analysis of the problems in your vision based on the way light travels through your eye, giving a more personalized laser correction treatment. This will specifically minimize visual aberrations including glare, halos and night vision issues. While custom treatment is usually more expensive than standard, the quality of the visual result is worth it.
CONVENTIONAL LASER TREATMENT -
lighting going through a cornea will still have residual higher order aberrations (imperfections) that create a less clear image with poor contrast.
CUSTOMIZED WAVEFRONT TREATMENT -
light going through this cornea will have less
aberrations and create a clearer image
with better contrast sensitivity.
