The Advantages of Wavefront LASIK in San Jose
It took 25 years, but the adaptive optics first used in military applications now power Wavefront LASIK. Surgeons can now objectively, and comprehensively, measure your vision error. From those precise measurements, which are uniquely yours, surgeons generate the laser "roadmap" to treat your eyes. For many patients, Wavefront guided LASIK means post-operative uncorrected vision of 20/20 or better, with enhanced night vision.
Information Technology Commands the Laser
Wavefront LASIK, also known as Custom LASIK or Custom Ablation, is an information technology. The laser itself is essentially just a piece of hardware. It needs to be told what to do: where to move over your cornea and for how long to fire. The "Wavefront" part of Wavefront guided LASIK, represents the diagnostic data and related software programs that enable your San Jose surgeon to generate the commands to control the laser.
Wavefront is the Most Advanced Information Technology
Wavefront is the latest technology, and surpasses the previous generation technology — often called conventional, standard, or Classic LASIK — in terms of data precision. The more precise the data that's captured during your pre-op diagnostic stage, the better your post-op outcome is likely to be. Patients who undergo Custom LASIK in San Jose, are likely to experience better distance vision and vision quality, including night vision, than patients who have conventional LASIK treatment.
