The FDA has recently approved a new technology that may change how your eye doctor treats your vision problems. It's called Custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that uses the unique visual characteristics of your eye to customize your treatment.
Custom LASIK provides an additional level of precise data about your vision requirements using wavefront technology. A device called a wavefront analyzer measures the way light travels through your eye and compares it to the way light travels through an eye with perfect vision. This device then creates a 3-D wavefront map that is unique in the same way that your DNA is unique to you. Your wavefront map provides a detailed diagram of your vision that allows your doctor to provide you with truly personalized vision correction.
