How Wavefront Diagnosis Works
Wavefront-guided LASIK diagnoses the eye’s refractive error using a system that gathers extensive information about your eyes. Your treatment is based on the detailed information the system collects, giving you much more precise vision correction.
How it Works
While you focus on a target through the eyepiece, a straight laser beam is directed into your eye. When that light reflects back from your eye to the system’s sensor, it is no longer parallel or straight; it has changed at the front. The change expresses the eye’s refractive error. The deviations from the straight light are caused by tiny irregularities in the eye. The light has reflected back through the lens and cornea to the Wavefront system’s sensor, and by the time it arrives, it has been distorted by the eye’s irregularities.
