We’ve got some technologies
for you -- technology news that is. If you’re thinking about tossing
aside your glasses, tearing up your contacts, but you’re worried about
subjecting your vision to Lasik eye surgery, wavefront technology might
be the motivation you need to get the job done. Wavefront is the next
generation of laser vision correction.
Dr. Andrew Caster,
the medical director of Caster Eye Center in Beverly Hills, California,
told Hotwire the new surgery uses software that measures about 200 places
on the eye and applies a separate correction to each spot, where as
traditional Lasik eye surgery applies a single overall average correction.
Patients should
be aware that no surgery is without risk.
