What is Wavefront LASIK?
Wavefront LASIK is a procedure which enables the surgeon to tailor LASIK for the unique characteristics of your eyes. Two people with the same prescription do not undergo the same procedure with Wavefront or CustomVue TM LASIK. The procedure is customized to your eyes and allows for better vision after the procedure!

What is LASIK Plus?
LASIK Plus is chain of corporate laser centers around the country. As LASIK is a medical, elective procedure and not a commodity, we feel it is important to have the examination and meet the surgeon before your procedure!
