As a result, Custom LASIK patients can potentially see longer distances with better vision quality, including night vision, than patients undergoing conventional LASIK.

These FDA results should indicate that you may experience different post-op outcomes depending on which laser your San Jose surgeon employs. Given that you'll pay substantially more for Custom LASIK compared to conventional technology, you'll want to ensure your surgeon is using the best possible Wavefront laser for your treatment, since you'll live with the results for a lifetime.
