For the patient, how does the wavefront LASIK or PRK experience differ from the conventional one?

. The actual surgical experience for the patient is exactly the same as conventional LASIK or PRK. The difference comes in the pre-operative measurement of the patient’s lower- and higher-order aberrations. Instead of the subjective and confusing process of “which is better 1 or 2” (the better one better two test, refraction), the entire aberration profile of the eye is performed objectively, without relying on your answers, using sophisticated wavefront sensors or aberrometers.
