Wavefront vs. Standard LASIK

request appointment

Researchers reporting in the Journal of Refractive Surgery (Yu et. al., May 2008) conclude that high patient satisfaction can be obtained with both customized (wavefront-guided) LASIK and from standard LASIK for the treatment of nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism.

Dr. Jonathan Davidorf agrees: “It is important that each patient is treated in a customized manner, but the best treatment is not always a “custom” (wavefront) ablation. For a given patient, wavefront guided custom LASIK may be best, but, for another patient, a standard LASIK treatment may be optimal. With a detailed preoperative evaluation, we can determine the preferred approach for each individual.”
