The Qualitative Advantages of Wavefront LASIK

San Jose Wavefront LASIK surgeons consider Wavefront LASIK a revolutionary breakthrough as to how surgeons characterize and treat vision errors.

There's been a lot written on the advantages of Wavefront guided treatment for the correction of a patient's focusing error (e.g., nearsightedness or astigmatism), but little on the qualitative advantages of Wavefront guided LASIK. This is partly because surgeons practicing Custom LASIK (also known as Wavefront LASIK) in San Jose are still learning about the power of Wavefront technology to describe errors that contribute to poor vision quality, such as night vision disturbances.

Do Wavefront LASIK Patients Really See Better at Night?

Some Wavefront LASIK surgeons say that a sub-set of their San Jose patients do see better at night after Wavefront Guided treatment. While it's true that this is a subjective assessment, and can't be quantified as easily as a patient's prescription, this patient feedback is an indication of the promise of Wavefront guided LASIK.

Let's face it: most San Jose LASIK patients are quite happy to simply get their distance vision fixed, as long as the surgery doesn't induce night vision problems, like halos and glare. Getting better night vision is just an extra benefit of Wavefront LASIK .


On the other hand, there are some prospective Custom LASIK patients who are visually disabled at night: they can't safely drive in the San Jose area, and in the worse cases, require assistance to function under dim illumination. For these patients, the potential qualitative advantages of Wavefront LASIK cannot be overstated. As Custom LASIK surgeons gain more experience with Wavefront treatment, there's likely to be a growing improvement in the quality component of the patient's vision, in addition to even better visual acuities.

Some San Jose LASIK Patients Can Expect to Pay More

Keep in mind that not everyone qualifies for Wavefront LASIK, and that the price of Wavefront guided LASIK in San Jose is $500 - $700 more expensive per eye than conventional LASIK.
