The WaveScan Wavefront System and LASIK
The ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center team will run several tests to determine if a patient is a candidate for LASIK or laser vision correction. One of these tests utilizes WaveScan wavefront system to create a 3-D map of the eye.
During a WaveScan test, the patient’s eyes are scanned with a specially designed light, which creates a digital map of the eye’s imperfections. This map is unique to each patient, much like a fingerprint.
The map of the eye is used during LASIK to guide the laser as it reshapes the cornea -- the result, a personalized, precise, laser vision correction procedure. To see if you are a candidate for laser vision correction, contact us for complimentary consultation
