Millions of people are expected to have laser eye surgery in the next few years and although the technology has stabilized, it is still being improved upon. Can you improve on the vision correction that people are fairly satisfied with? Technology is always improving and helping to treat a wider range of patients with different eye conditions and eliminate potential errors.
Laser Eye Surgery technology and procedures are being called many names today, yet one name that you should know about is VISX CustomVue. This is complete laser assisted suite of technologies that give eye surgeons impressive capabilities and accuracy.
VISX CustomVue incorporates laser eye surface scanning called WaveScan. WaveScan technology captures the unique imperfections in each person’s vision that could not have been measured before. The digital mapping information is used to create a customized set of CustomVue treatment instructions for the laser thus providing a new level of precision and accuracy in laser eye surgeries.
When patients are lying down to have their laser eye procedure, even though procedure only lasts for a few minutes, their eyes may move. In the past, that movement represented the possibility of serious errors in vision correction and other dangers. VISX CustomVue uses Iris Registration (IR) which makes an immediate adjustment of the laser beam to compensate for eye rotation. Iris Registration (IR) is the first FDA-approved, fully automated, non-contact method of alignment of the correct CustomVue treatment to the corneal site. The method uses sophisticated algorithms and multiple reference points on each iris, to ensure accuracy of the treatment to the correct area of the cornea. The VISX CustomVue provides the broadest range of U.S. FDA approved wavefront-guided laser vision correction treatments for patients suffering from: Myopia with and without Astigmatism Hyperopia with and without Astigmatism Mixed astigmatism
An FDA clinical study revealed VISX’s remarkable success:
One year after the VISX CustomVue procedure;
100% of the clinical study participants could pass a driving test without glasses or contacts 98% of the clinical study participants could see 20/20 or better without glasses or contacts 70% of the clinical study participants could see 20/16 or better without glasses or contacts 4 times as many clinical study participants were very satisfied with their night vision after the VISX CustomVue procedure, compared to their night vision before with glasses or contacts.
For those suffering with infections from contact lenses or those who have unique visual problems, the VISX CustomVue laser eye surgery procedure is perfect. Never before, has such accuracy in laser surgery been customized to the unique characteristics of the eye of the patient.
