This Technology is Shaping the Lasik Industry

It’s time to invest in your sharpest vision, and you’ve settled on a corrective, laser eye procedure. But how can you know you’ll have the same success as patients before you? Isn’t everyone’s eyesight different? Aren’t everyone’s eyeballs different? It is, and they are. But you needn’t fret.  Diamond Vision is an NY laser eye center that offers custom Lasik surgery, ensuring that your vision laser procedure produces the most effective, most tailored results.

If you are thinking about custom Lasik as your choice of corrective eye procedure, let us tell you more about it. By now, I assume you know that you see images by way of light waves traveling to your eye. The specific way that your eye is shaped, that your cornea is curved and the way that you process light all affect the way you’ll see images. For the most part, we know corrective eye surgery to manipulate those shapes and curves to yield better, sharper image processing. However, there’s another large piece of the puzzle we’re failing to acknowledge sufficiently. The light waves! In custom Lasik surgery, the way the light waves travel through your eyes is measured before surgery. A revolutionary piece of technology called Wavefront Technology detects precisely how the light moves across and through your eyes.

The Wavefront analyzer measures patterns of movement as light travels, detecting errors as they challenge the controlled setting of how the light should move across a perfect eye. Unless someone has 20/20 vision, we all have slight aberrations in our eyes. Wavefront is able to identify the placement of our aberrations, their size, their shape, everything. The machine continues to send waves of light into the patient’s eyes and maps the movement as the light bounces back toward the machine. Once the mapping is complete, the surgeon can match a detailed version of a laser to the eyes, making a perfect tool to perfectly correct the patient’s vision.

The perk of custom Lasik is just that: a higher potential for perfect, 20/20 vision. By measuring the precise deficiencies of the eyes, the personalized procedure is highly effective. Some patients are candidates based on need, others by choice and strife toward their sharpest vision possible. Other advantages include vision superior to contacts and glasses and fewer cases of glare, halos or night vision troubles.
