LASIK vs. Wavefront LASIK

SAN JOSE, CA, May 02, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Most laser eye surgeons offer several options for LASIK . Traditional LASIK has been used for nearly 30 years to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This time has provided eye surgeons with a lot of information about safety, potential complications, and good techniques, making tradition LASIK a proven effective way to provide crystal clear vision.

By contrast wavefront LASIK is a relatively new advancement. This means that this technique does not have as much historical data to back up its benefits. However, since its introduction, wavefront LASIK has shown to have remarkable benefits over traditional LASIK and is able to produce more reliable and consistent results.

The main difference between LASIK and wavefront LASIK is technology. With traditional LASIK, your eye surgeon will use either a microkeratome or femtosecond laser to create a flap in your cornea. Once the flap is created your eye surgeon will use an eximer laser to gently reshape your cornea based on calculation made prior to your surgery.

With wavefront LASIK, computer imaging is used to create a detailed map of your eye. This information is fed to the laser as it reshapes your cornea, providing even the smallest details about your aberration and eye movements. This allows your eye surgeon to provide precision correction.
