CustomCornea®
Traditional laser vision correction surgery, also known as LASIK, can provide excellent results for most people in correcting common vision problems, but now a new advanced technology known as CustomCornea® goes above and beyond the LASIK procedure. Laser vision correction treatments are perfect for treating ailments such nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism; these are often also referred to as “lower order aberrations.” CustomCornea® is a treatment that treats ailments known as “higher order aberrations,” these include problems associated with visual quality, usually apparent in low-light situations or at night with problems like glare and halos. Some patients who suffer from higher order aberrations who were not candidates for traditional laser vision correction can benefit from custom LASIK surgery using CustomCornea®.
CustomCornea® is a new kind of LASIK procedure that goes above and beyond. This treatment doesn’t merely reshape your cornea based solely on your prescription for eyeglasses or contacts; it is completely customized to your eyes and your eyes alone. In addition to correcting your vision, CustomCornea® can help with other vision problems that could not be detected previously, known as higher order aberrations. Higher order aberrations are unable to be treated by traditional laser vision correction procedures, or even by wearing your normal prescription lenses. CustomCornea® is the first laser vision correction procedure that is FDA approved to address higher order aberrations.
The LASIK procedure with CustomCornea® is only truly customized laser vision procedure available and represents an amazing breakthrough in laser vision correction technology. CustomCornea® is unique in that it is the only technology able to use a wavefront diagnostic to guide an excimer laser during the laser treatment. Until CustomCornea®, it was not possible for vision correction procedures to correct higher order aberrations. Traditional vision correction or conventional laser vision correction only allows for correction of 85-90% of the imperfections that occur in the eye. CustomCornea® removes the other 10-15% of the optical imperfections in your eye, which allows not only better vision than has ever been possible before, but also a highly improved quality of life. Experience for the first time the clarity of life—you can only achieve it with CustomCornea®. |
