Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center

CustomVue™ LASIK Laser Treatment is the trade name for vision correction done by the Wavefront-guided LASIK system manufactured by VISX. This is the system we use to do our LASIK procedures. We use it for the diagnosis of your eyes’ exact contours, and to guide the laser during your treatment.

For the diagnosis phase, it has the WaveScan WaveFront System and for treatment, it has the STAR S4 Excimer Laser System. It's physically a complete system for LASIK, with all the components we need to give you the world's best vision correction.

• Laser – to precisely do your vision correction and give you 20/20 vision, or close to it;
• Computer – to store the information gathered about your eyes and display it on the monitor as graphs and 3-D colored maps;
• Patient bed – for your comfort during the procedure, and for ease of access to your eyes for Dr. Feldman;
• Microscope – so that Dr. Feldman can see your eyes at five different magnifications;
• Iris Registration – technology which tracks eye movements during treatment so as to keep the laser exactly focused on the pre-determined treatment area;
• ActiveTrak – an eye tracking technology which monitors your eyes in three dimensions so that no dilation is required
• ActiveTrak Automatic Centering – which locates and sets the treatment center to the center of your eye’s pupil.
• Variable Spot Scanning – technology which uses beam sizes from 0.65 mm to 6.5 mm, scanning the treatment area and using the beams which will best conserve your eye tissue.

There are two other companies which manufacture similar vision correction systems, but we chose the VISX CustomVue system as being the most powerful, flexible, and precise system for your vision correction. With only one pair of eyes each, we all need to be careful who we trust for treating them, and LASIK surgeons need to be careful to use only the best and most reliable technology.
