• Unlike conventional LASIK surgery, Custom LASIK eye surgery treats lower and higher-order aberrations from nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, to glare and halos.
• With Custom LASIK, a 3-D map of your eye is created that supplies critical information to your TLC surgeon, so that your vision correction can be customized to your specific needs.
• Most people who have had the Custom LASIK procedure notice they are seeing more clearly than before.
• Not everyone is a good candidate for Custom LASIK; for specific details about this laser vision correction procedure, .

HOW Custom LASIK WORKS

• Using wavefront technology, an analyzer projects waves of light into the eye.
• A customized map is created for each individual eye.
• Digital technology identifies and measures imperfections 25 times more precise than Conventional LASIK to offer higher levels of precision and treatment accuracy.

Clinical Studies Support Custom LASIK Benefits

• Custom LASIK provides a greater chance of achieving 20/20 vision.
• Potential for better vision exceeds that of contact lenses or glasses.
• Many patients report clearer, sharper vision after having Custom LASIK.
• Incidence of glare and halos is reduced with Custom LASIK laser vision procedures.
• With Custom LASIK laser vision correction there is a better potential for improved overall vision, day and night.

Higher Order Aberrations Are Treated With Custom LASIK

• Aberrations are visual imperfections that may affect your vision, vary from one person to the next, and are "lower" or "higher" in nature.
• Nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism are lower-order aberrations previously treated with Conventional LASIK.
• Higher-order aberrations that link to glare and halos and could not be adequately corrected with glasses, contacts, or conventional LASIK, can be treated with Custom LASIK.
• Your doctor will recommend the procedure best suited for your eyes.

The Technology Behind Custom LASIK

• Unlike conventional LASIK, Custom LASIK uses a tool called a wavefront analyzer to measure the way light travels through your eye.
• A customized 3-D map of your eye is created from these measurements and shows your entire optical system, providing information about the unique visual characteristics of your eye.
• Each and every eye has its own unique characteristics and your TLC surgeon uses this data to further customize your vision correction.
