Custom CorneaŽ
The medical directors from Precision Lasik Group
are happy to announce a new arrival in laser vision correction called
CustomCorneaŽ, a wavefront-guided LADARVisionŽ excimer laser system.
This revolutionary technology is helping to customize the treatment
of traditional LASIK in order to achieve better visual results.
Traditional LASIK surgery can provide excellent results in correcting
a wide range of common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness
and astigmatism, however CustomCorneaŽ or LADARWave™ will enable
a more precise surgical procedure with respect to your individual
cornea.
Why is CustomCorneaŽ advantageous?
CustomCorneaŽ is the first LASIK procedure to
go beyond reshaping your cornea based on your prescription for eyeglasses
or contacts. The procedure is completely customized to your eyes
and your eyes alone. Secondly, CustomCorneaŽ can help with other
vision problems that could not be detected previously, known as
higher order aberrations. Experts believe these aberrations can
be responsible for vision problems like glare and halos in low-light
conditions and at night.
 Higher
order aberrations cannot be treated by traditional laser vision
correction procedures, or even by wearing glasses or contacts. CustomCorneaŽ
is the first and only laser vision correction procedure that's FDA
approved to address higher order aberrations.

Capture – In
this first step, the LADARWave™ wavefront device is used to capture
your eyes’ unique combination of higher and lower aberrations. The
device creates a wavefront map of each eye by shining an eye-safebeam
of laser light into the eye by shining an eye-safe beam of laser
light into the eye and measuring the reflected light waves as they
pass through your visual system and exit the eye.
Match – In this
second stage, a wavefront map fro each eye is input to the laser
system, and converted to a guide for the laser. When both patient
and doctor are ready for surgery to begin, the map is computer-matched
with the eye’s exact position so the treatment is extremely precise.
Since each eye has its own unique wavefront map, treatment with
CustomCorneaŽ is truly customized.
Treat – In this
third step, the cornea is precisely reshaped using the LADARVisionŽ
4000 excimer laser system guided by the data from the wavefront
map. The treatment is designed to correct your unique profile of
both lower and higher order aberrations at the same time.
