Wavefront Lasik Defined

While Lasik has been considered the “best and greatest” in the world of vision correction for almost the last two decades, a new form of Lasik has been slowly increasing in popularity. This procedure, which is called wavefront Lasik, is one of the newest Lasik eye procedures available for vision correction. During this procedure, a wavefront laser is used to create a three dimensional map of a Lasik patient’s eye. Using this map, a surgeon can easily identify potential irregularities. After capturing this information, the Lasik surgeon inputs some data into the computer to correct any discovered irregularities. After this is done, the computer and laser go to work to rectify any irregularities. As a result, wavefront Lasik can provide extremely precise vision correction outcomes.
