In the United States, there are four wavefront responsive laser manufacturers. The trade names are CustomCornea using the Alcon LADARVision laser, CustomVue using the Visx S4 laser, and Zyoptix using the Bausch & Lomb Technolas 217z laser. These three have the ability to create an ablation customized from an individual patient's wavefront evaluation.

The Wave Light Allegretto laser used wavefront derived data in the laboratory to optimize its laser ablation pattern but does not use an individual patient's wavefront diagnosis to create a customized ablation pattern. CustomVue, CustomCornea, and Zyoptix are all customized to the individual's eye. Visx, Alcon, and B&L refer to their systems as "custom wavefront.” Allegretto is referred to as "wavefront optimized.”
