Now that LASIK vision correction surgery is a relatively common practice, the advanced technology has allowed for even more narrowly focused results. Wavefront LASIK is one such type of LASIK surgery. It offers hope for those with particularly "high-order" aberrations to the cornea. Until Wavefront-guided LASIK was invented, traditional LASIK was not as successful in these cases. Wavefront LASIK is often considered a "custom" LASIK procedure in that there are many more measurements taken and the reshaping of the cornea is done based on these precise measurements. Traditional LASIK does a symmetrical type of corneal sculpting, which is great for many types of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Wavefront LASIK is best for nearsightedness, with a low-to-medium level of astigmatism. Discover More about Wavefront LASIK
