Who is a candidate for Wavefront Guided LASIK?
There are two general groups of patients who may benefit from this technology. First, any patient looking for LASIK who is in the proper range of correction, who wants to benefit from the correction of these optical aberrations, may be a candidate. There is evidence that shows Wavefront Guided LASIK treatments deliver sharper postop vision and fewer nighttime side effects than traditional LASIK. Amount of correction, corneal thickness, and general eye health are factors taken into consideration when planning treatment. A second group of patients who may benefit tremendously from this technology are those who have already had LASIK, PRK, LASEK, or other refractive surgeries and are having some troubles. Problems such as nighttime glare, halos, quality of vision issues, and even simply residual refractive error may be eliminated with Wavefront Guided LASIK. Factors like corneal thickness and general eye health are important in determining candidacy. Click here to email Dr.
