 Wavefront Lasik Eye Surgery, otherwise known as Custom Wavefront Lasik, is a procedure which can correct common vision problems like nearsightedness.
Lasik in general is a rather popular vision repair technique for quite a few reasons. Lasik Surgery is known for being a very quick and relatively painless medical procedure. Each eye tends to take around ten minutes. Healing from wavefront lasik is also very fast, generally taking no longer than a couple of days.
The wavefront procedure is known for being more precise than the normal or standard technique and is utilized to cure "higher-order" aberrations in the eye.
During the procedure, a beam of light is sent into the eye, and with the use of various data points, a map is created with the information sent back to the wavefront sensor. The way this works is when the light returns to the sensor, it reads distortions which indicate areas in the eye that have deficiencies.
The map that is created is used to pinpoint problem areas, which are the aberrations mentioned before. |

 If you look at statistics from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery you'll find that just 5% of all people that have lasik eye surgery are dissatisfied with the results. This seems pretty darn good to me, especially after wearing glasses and contacts for the past 35 years.
I've often considered lasik eye surgery and as I get older and the technology improves, lasik looks more and more appealing. The idea of no more contact lenses or glasses is extremely appealing, especially since there are some situations like sports and swimming where they are a hindrance. I can just imagine waking in the morning, opening my eye and actually being able to see more than three feet in front of me. In the past lasik eye surgery was less reliable and more expensive, but now it seems like the time may be right.
What needs to be considered are the pros and cons of lasik as well as the cost of the eye surgery.
The obvious pro is that you'll have perfect vision, perhaps for the first time in your life. |
