What are higher order aberrations and why will correcting these distortions help me see better?
Glasses and contacts correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism which typically accounts for 85% to 90% of the distortions in your eye. The remaining 10% to 15% that glasses and contacts can not correct are called higher order aberrations, and until recently could not be corrected by any means. Now The Laser Vision Institute can measure and correct these aberrations using a wavefront guided CustomCornea treatment. Not everyone is a candidate for CustomCornea treatments, some people with higher prescriptions may do better with conventional LASIK first. And not every center offers this advanced technology, in Lubbock it is available exclusively with at Texas Techs Laser Vision Institute. See CustomCornea for more.
