| LASIK...Made Better.
To reach the full potential of your vision and to achieve maximum results, Dr. Bryan applies Wavefront Technology to further customize your LASIK or PRK procedure. This is also called “Custom” or “CustomVue”.
One of the most exciting advances in vision correction today involves the application of Wavefront technology and has been used for decades by astronomers to adjust high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space. Using WaveScan®-based digital technology on the human eye assists the doctor so he can identify, measure, and correct imperfections in an individual's eyes 25 times more precisely than with conventional methods.
CustomVue, provides a precise level of measurement and correction never before possible. This information is transferred to the laser, providing a new level of precision and accuracy with the potential to experience better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses.
Glasses and contacts are limited in their ability to correct unique imperfections in each individual's vision. In fact, thousands of individuals have the same prescription. With the CustomVue™ procedure, no two “prescriptions” are identical.
In addition to the possibility of improved confidence and enjoying a more active lifestyle, patients in a clinical study reported great results one year after their CustomVue procedure*;
- 100 percent could pass a driving test
- 98 percent could see 20/20 or better
- 70 percent could see better than 20/20
- Four times as many people were very satisfied with their night vision after the procedure as compared to their night vision before with glasses or contact lenses.
* FDA clinical results for Low to Moderate Myopia, Up to -6.0 D MRSE with or without astigmatism up to -3.0 DC
On the day of the procedure, your WaveScan map is obtained. Like a topographical map showing the surface features of a landscape, WaveScan™ technology creates a detailed map of your eye’s optical system. It reveals the way your entire optical system processes light. The powerful WaveScan software can translate this information into a customized treatment and sends it directly to the VISX STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser.
