Wavefront Lasik Surgery

Wavefront is a new technique in which multiple optical errors that cause blurry vision are precisely measured. This technology is an offshoot of the same technology used to fix the Hubble telescope. This information is then used to create a custom, individualized treatment plan based on your eye errors. This FDA approved treatment demonstrated superior results when compared to conventional lasik. Some 96% of patients achieved uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better, 74% 20/16 or better, and 19% 20/12.5 or better.

Waveprint is the trademarked name of the VISX WaveScan Wavefront system used by Northwest Eye Clinic. The Waveprint system also incorporates the 3D ActiveTrac Eyetracker and Variable Spot Scanning. The Eyetracker automatically tracks any eye movements and directs the laser spots to the desired area in the eye. Variable Spot Scanning varies the size of the laser beam to correct any eye errors that are present regardless of their size or shape. Feel free to contact us for additional information.
