CustomVue LASIK

CustomVue LASIK incorporates the advantages of the LASIK procedure with a new method of measuring your eyes. The CustomVue surgical procedure is the same as with LASIK; creating a flap, performing the laser treatment, and repositioning the flap. However, the improvement lies in a more detailed and precise way of measuring your eyes. Pre-operatively, an instrument called a WaveScan will not only measure your nearsightedness and astigmatism, but also other distortions or aberrations in your vision. This “personalized scan” of your vision can then be directly programmed to the laser, allowing for a much more individualized laser treatment of your eyes. The benefit of the CustomVue LASIK procedure is that it may help you to see clearly distant objects without glasses or contact lenses.

The goal of CustomVue LASIK is to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. However, some patients may still need glasses or contact lenses after CustomVue LASIK. CustomVue LASIK does not eliminate the need for reading glasses. NOTE: you may need reading glasses after CustomVue LASIK even if you did not wear them before.
