How does Waverfront Lasik differ from Traditional Lasik?

Since wavefront Lasik is such a new Lasik technique, being around less than a decade, people often have many questions. One of the best questions that is often asked is, “How is this procedure different from the old form of Lasik? The main difference between these two procedures is the fact that traditional Lasik uses a metal blade to create a flap in the cornea to fix the patient’s vision. With wavefront Lasik, a laser directs light into the patient’s cornea, resolving any irregularities by reshaping the cornea. Because of this precision a surgeon is able to achieve, the patient’s vision is remarkably sharper than what is achievable with traditional Lasik.
