Wavefront Lasik with Alcon LadarVision

Wavefront Lasik is a new way of performing Lasik that produces dramatically improved vision, particularly better night vision. The information below shows how patients compare their night vision without glasses after Wavefront Lasik to their vision beforehand with glasses or contact lenses:

Daytime vision is also, on average, better after Wavefront Lasik than with glasses or contact lenses:

How does Wavefront Lasik do this? The eye has many minor imperfections that are not corrected by glasses or contact lenses. Wavefront technology allows us to measure and correct these imperfections, by treating each of 200 separate locations on the eye with its own specific prescription. Because glasses and contact lenses cannot do this, vision after Wavefront Lasik is often better than it was with glasses or contact lenses.

Not every person is a candidate for Wavefront Lasik, and we cannot guarantee in any particular situation that the vision will be better than with glasses or contact lenses. Non-Wavefront Lasik is of course also capable of producing excellent vision. We will use the best technology available and appropriate for your particular situation.

Only one laser – LadarVision by Alcon – has been approved by the FDA for Wavefront treatments.
