Wavefront LASIK, also known as Custom LASIK, is a combination of information technology — "Wavefront" — and surgical procedure — "LASIK."

There are currently two generations of information technology in the laser vision correction market: conventional (first generation) and custom Wavefront LASIK (second generation). Custom LASIK in San Francisco uses Wavefront technology to precisely characterize your vision error, and generate the "roadmap" that tells the laser where to go, and for how long to fire, across your cornea.

Using Custom Wavefront guided LASIK technology, San Francisco laser vision correction surgeons can establish a more objective, more comprehensive measurement of your vision error compared to conventional technology . As a result, true Wavefront guided LASIK vision correction in San Francisco is likely to produce better distance vision and vision quality (e.g., night vision).

Keep in mind that information technology, in the form of diagnostic data, software, and firmware, directs the actions of the laser. The process of preparing the eye for the laser application is a procedural question. The leading San Francisco laser vision correction procedures are LASIK and PRK. Thus, if you're a prospective patient for Wavefront guided LASIK in San Francisco, you'll undergo the corneal flap-creation procedure unique to the LASIK, combined with the precision of laser movement guided by Wavefront technology.
