In the world of LASIK, more terms seem to emerge all the time. One that gets bandied about often is Wavefront Guided LASIK. Wavefront is a type of LASIK surgery that allows for "custom" shaping of the cornea, as opposed to the standard symmetrical shaping done with traditional LASIK. For this reason, it also goes by other names such as "PERSONALASIK," "custom LASIK," and "custom cornea." Is Wavefront Guided LASIK better than traditional LASIK? Yes and no. For those people with so-called higher-order aberrations, Wavefront Guided LASIK can be the difference between slightly better vision and exceptional vision. It was created in particular for certain cases of nearsightedness with some astigmatism. For many other people, traditional LASIK is perfectly suited to their form of nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The First with Wavefront Guided LASIK
The surgeon who was first to use the Wavefront Guided LASIK procedure was Dr. Gary Kawesch of the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley. Dr. Kawesch is a leader in the field of refractive surgery, holding patents on visual acuity measurement technology, teaching other surgeons how to perform new procedures, and consulting for the FDA on LASIK-related clinical studies. Dr. Kawesch alone has performed more than 40,000 refractive surgeries since 1992. In the Bay Area, there is simply no better place to come for Wavefront Guided LASIK surgery and other forms of refractive surgery. The surgical team is outstanding in their expertise as well as their care. They listen, they answer questions, and they work hard to make each patient completely informed regarding their choices.
