The VISX CustomVue™ Laser Vision Correction Procedure

§       The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved VISX CustomVue, establishing a new standard in laser vision correction .  As demonstrated in the FDA study, the CustomVue procedure can produce better vision than is possible with glasses and contact lenses!

§       CustomVue laser vision correction is WaveScan®-driven, which enables the doctor to measure and correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision . Nearsighted and astigmatic individuals can potentially achieve a new level of vision—Personal Best Vision

WaveScan Technology

§       WaveScan technology was originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space.  This technology has now been applied to laser vision correction, measuring imperfections in the eye never measured before by standard methods used for glasses and contact lenses.   This new level of measurement provides 25 times more precision than standard measurements used for glasses and contact lenses.

§        WaveScan technology produces a detailed map of the eye—much like a fingerprint - no two are alike.   Doctors use this information to treat individuals with the CustomVue procedure.

§       WaveScan’s digital information is transferred to the laser, providing a new level of precision and accuracy

§       The CustomVue procedure tailors a distinct correction for each individual—in fact each treatment is “designed” by the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes

Beyond and Better Than Glasses and Contact Lenses

§       Glasses and contact lenses are limited in their ability to correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision.  In fact, thousands of individuals have the same prescription.  With the CustomVue™ procedure, no two “prescriptions” are identical

§       This precise level of measurement and correction can enable individuals to achieve the full potential of their vision—a new level of excellence impossible with glasses or contact lenses.

Safety and Visual Quality Results

§       Four times as many people were very satisfied with their night vision after the CustomVue procedure, compared to their night vision before with glasses or contact lenses.
