Custom LASIK uses three dimensional images of your eyes and how they accept light to determine the best route for your surgery. This procedure called custom LASIK using wave-front technology is more precise than any pair of glasses, contacts, or even other LASIK procedures.
By using a few simple computer-generated tests to analyze the way your eye refracts light, the computer determines the best course of action.
