Download PDF Abstract Customized wavefront laser vision correction, whether customized wavefront LASIK or customized wavefront PRK, is able to measure and treat aberrations in the cornea that previously could not be adequately measured by conventional methods. Previous corneal surgery can produce complex irregularities in the cornea that, in the past, have been difficult to treat. […]

In this straightforward article, Dr. Shapiro puts forth a simple and effective strategy for refining clinical results of wavefront-assisted laser in situ kerato-mileusis (LASIK). Download PDF Abstract This paper is a thought proposal put forward to the medical community by Dr. Shapiro during the initial development of Customized Wavefront LASIK. It introduced techniques which could […]

Abstract Highly irregular corneas pose a particular challenge to even the most experienced LASIK and PRK surgeon. This irregularity is typically encountered when treating eyes with previous corneal refractive and laser surgery and visually problematic outcomes. This paper discusses techniques for optimizing surgical outcomes in this challenging setting. The role of high resolution Fourier Wavefront […]

Download PDF Abstract Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was the first laser vision correction technique approved by the FDA. It differs from LASIK in that the excimer laser is applied directly to the corneal surface, instead of beneath a corneal flap. Earlier generations of PRK were performed using conventional laser technology (non-wavefront). This paper discusses the technique […]

Abstract Achieving optimal surgical outcomes with CustomVue Customized Wavefront laser vision correction is not the point and shoot exercise that many patients – and even some physicians — sometimes think it is. This paper gives expert tips to surgeons regarding techniques of wavefront imaging, clinical decision making, and wavefront surgical techniques. Issues including the role […]
