Wavefront CustomCornea®

CustomCornea®- With the chance to see beyond 20/20, this changes everything you thought you knew about LASIK.

   No two eyes are the same.  Every person has small distortions in their vision that even glasses and contacts can not correct.  It is these subtle differences that make your eyes completely unique to you.  Texas Tech’s Laser Vision Institute is pleased to be among the first centers in the United States to offer Wavefront CustomCornea® This advance in technology allows the surgeons at the Laser Vision Institute to perform a more accurate, more precise laser vision correction offering a level of vision never before possible.

    For years doctors have measure vision by having patients read letters on a standard Snellen Eye Chart.  Doctors consider your vision "normal" if you can identify the small letters on the 20/20 row from a distance of 20 feet.  Until now, laser vision correction, like glasses and contacts, could only correct the visual distortions caused by nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.  However, these three types of vision distortions only account for 85%-90% of the overall quality of your vision.  Now thanks to advanced Wavefront CustomCornea® technology, its possible to measure and address the other 10% to 15% of visual distortion.  With this advance in technology, the Laser Vision Institute’s patients now have the potential to not only see beyond 20/20, but to have clear, crisp vision never experienced before.

WHY IS THE LASER VISION INSTITUTE SO EXCITED ABOUT WAVEFRONT CUSTOMCORNEA®?

     Wavefront guided customized treatments allow doctors to offer you the possibility of better vision than you have had with glasses or contacts, and allow doctors to solve the problems of patients who have had problems in the past.  Doctors have been eagerly awaiting this FDA approval for several years.  This is the technology they will be using for the next decade or more.
