Lasik vs. Wavefront Lasik - What's the difference?

Wavefront technology is utilized to provide a mapping of one's unique characteristics of their eye, much like a fingerprint.

This technology was adapted from astronomy 25 years ago to look at distant stars traveling the atmosphere. Now, we utilize this technology to provide information about the prescription as well as the unique small irregularities of one's eye. This technology allows us to measure the prescription of one's eyes 25 times more accurately!

Utilizing this technology, we can personalize the laser vision correction treatment which is unique to your eyes. This enables almost everyone to achieve 20/20 or better vision. More people are also satisfied with their nighttime vision after the surgery than they were with glasses or contact lenses.
