Wavefront
Technology/Custom Ablation
Until now vision has been measured with lenses and categorized as nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism. Technology has progressed to the point
where fine distortions, called higher order aberrations can be measured
and treated. Higher order aberrations are often the cause of night vision
problems. Wavefront technology, using the advanced VISX Waveprint System,
was approved in May 2003. Dr. Kornmehl has had the Waveprint System
since October 2002. All patients examined for LASIK at Kornmehl Laser
Eye Associates are evaluated for higher order aberrations whether or
not they elect to have the data used in their treatment. With the data
obtained using the Waveprint System, Dr. Kornmehl is better able to
determine the appropriate course of treatment.
Recently
completed FDA Trials have demonstrated that 70% of patients treated
with wavefront technology by VISX had a reduction of glare and halos
at night. 98% of patients treated were 20/20 or better at one year.
