The Vision Quality Advantages of San Francisco Wavefront LASIK

San Francisco Wavefront LASIK has generated a lot of buzz, with its promise of producing superb visual acuities (i.e., distance vision) and vision quality, especially vision at night. Indeed, surgeons practicing San Francisco Wavefront LASIK (also known as Custom LASIK in San Francisco) claim that post-op operative outcomes are, in many cases, superior to conventional technology, including enhanced night vision.

While it's true that comments on vision quality by San Francisco Custom LASIK patients are subjective in nature, they are nonetheless growing evidence of the potential for San Francisco Wavefront guided LASIK to treat higher-order problems of the human optical system, beyond the basic focusing problems of nearsightedness and astigmatism.

The Distance Vision of the Eagle, the Night Vision of the Owl?

This is an exciting time for LASIK surgeons in San Francisco. Wavefront technology is a quantum breakthrough in how these surgeons characterize vision error, including higher-order errors that potentially affect vision quality. Will the state of the art of San Francisco Wavefront LASIK one-day enable humans to achieve the distance vision performance of an eagle (e.g., 20/8), and the superb night vision of the owl?

Apart from professional athletes and military commanders, most LASIK San Francisco patients are probably content to see 20/20 and preserve their existing night vision. With San Francisco Wavefront guided LASIK, these more modest goals are increasingly becoming commonplace.
