Custom LASIK The latest technological advance in laser vision correction is custom LASIK. Custom LASIK, which also goes by various other proprietary names, such as CustomVue, represents the next step in improving the outcome of laser vision correction beyond the excellent results already attainable by conventional means. This is possible because every eye and its associated refractive errors are unique, much like ones fingerprint, and recent advancements in technology now allow us not only to measure these unique refractive imperfections, but also to accurately and predictably eliminate them. At the heart of custom LASIK procedures is the aberrometer, such as the VISX WaveScan wave-front measurement system. By adopting technology originally developed for high-powered telescopes, these wave-front measurement devices can identify and quantitate imperfections in the individuals eye 25 times more precisely than the standard methods used for eyeglasses and contact lenses. This information is then digitally transferred to the excimer laser for the treatment, providing a new level of precision and accuracy. Typically, a custom LASIK procedure takes at most a few seconds longer than a conventional procedure. All aspects of the treatments are the same, with the main exception that the re-shaping of the cornea by the excimer laser is based on the unique wave-front information of the eye, rather than the conventional, non-customized measurements. Just like a conventional LASIK, there is no pain during the procedure, and most patients notice immediate results after treatment, with continued improvement in vision over several days. Results of Clinical Study: Currently, custom LASIK is available to patients whose refractive error falls within the parameters set forth by the FDA. With additional clinical data constantly being submitted to the FDA, the eligibility for custom LASIK will surely be expanded. Patients interested in taking advantage of this new and exciting technology should discuss with the surgeon their candidacy for custom LASIK treatment.
