Advanced Eye Care and Surgery- Custom Intralase

Custom Wavefront LASIK

Wavefront technology captures the reflected wavefronts and compares these curved sheets to a perfect wavefront and a 3-D map of the eye’s optical irregularities is created. This map is then transferred to the excimer laser and is used as a guide to reshape the cornea during laser vision treatment.

Not all 20/20 Is the Same

Being able to see the 20/20 line on the Snellen Eye Chart has been the standard of good vision. But just because you can make out the letters doesn’t mean the quality of your 20/20 vision is good.

Results have shown that custom wavefront Laser Vision Correction can reduce some of the unwanted visual effects experienced from conventional Laser Vision Correction; especially those associated with night vision such as glare and halos. By addressing both a person’s prescription and the higher order aberrations within their eye’s optical system, custom Laser Vision Correction has the potential to improve the quality of vision and make patients see better than they could with conventional glasses or conventional Laser Vision Correction.

PRK or Photo-Refractive Keratectomy treats refractive errors by removing tissue from the surface of the cornea. First, your eye is numbed using a topical, or eye drop anesthesia. Then, the surgeon removes or pushes aside the epithelium, a thin layer of protective skin that covers the cornea. During the actual procedure, the patient looks at a fixation light while an eye tracker follows the tiny motions of your eye. In less than a minute, the laser removes the proper amount of tissue and reshapes the surface of the cornea.
