TRSC International LASIK Center offers a variety of different technologies. Although newer advanced technologies offer increased opportunity for excellent vision, the necessity for using them varies with the individual qualities of each patient’s eyes (such as spectacle prescription, pupil size, corneal thickness, internal higher-order aberrations, and corneal curvature). TRSC’s LASIK Refractive Surgery Specialists will consult with each patient and help guide their decision in order to provide the best possible results. TRSC offers the following advanced technologies.
Ultimate…The most advanced technology in LASIK- Wavefront The best way to compare Wavefront technology is to imagine yourself finding the perfect tailored suit or dress…We all have been there- trying on a dozen suits or dresses in hoping to find not only the right color, but also the right length and one that contours perfectly to our body. People who appear the same size might end up finding the perfect suit or dress in a different size and brand. Everyone’s body is different in shape and form. Your eyes are the same way. Every set of eyes are different in shape, size, curvature, and optics. One type or pattern of laser would not be sufficient in fully correcting everyone’s refractive errors. Wavefront technology is a way to customize laser treatment for each individual based on unique visual characteristics of each eye.
Ultimate LASIK Ultimate LASIK is the most advanced procedure currently available. It combines both Wavefront Customization and Optimization to provide the best possible results. Wavefront Customization Near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism are referred to as “lower order aberration.” In addition to these, our eyes have complex “higher order aberrations” that are not correctable with glasses or contact lenses. These higher-order aberrations, are often linked to the visual glare and halos that cause night vision problems and can affect quality of vision. In Ultimate LASIK, higher order aberrations are first diagnosed and measured using a Wavefront map. This Wavefront map is created by bouncing harmless light rays off the patient’s retina. Results are then fed into a complex computation program, which calculates a superior ablation profile that not only attempts to retain the natural shape of the cornea but also targets any previous aberrations within a patient's eye. In addition, the higher speed of the laser shortens the surgery time to provide greater patient comfort and increased reliability. A specialized laser algorithm called Optimization is used to retain the natural shape of the patient’s cornea. By trying to keep the natural shape of the cornea, the surgeon personalizes the surgery to adjust for the natural shape, thickness, and prescription of each patient’s eye. Ultimate LASIK combines the benefits of both Optimization and Wavefront and often provides the best opportunity for superior vision through customized treatment to cater to each patient’s individual visual system. Benefits
Optimization The process of LASIK surgery has the potential of creating visual aberrations by flattening the shape of a patient’s central cornea. These aberrations can result in decreased quality of vision and night vision problems, such as glare and haloes. Optimization is the key to providing the best results as it uses a specialized wavefront-guided ablation pattern in order to maintain the natural bell-shaped curve of your eye Benefits
Wavefront Customization + Optimization = Best Results (Ultimate LASIK). |
