What is customized ablation?
Customized ablation or Custom LASIK is a procedure that exceeds the results achieved through standard laser vision correction. With standard laser treatment, your glasses correction is removed. Every eye has other imperfections that cannot be corrected with spectacles, contact lenses, or standard laser procedures. These are called higher order aberrations. They are caused by minute misalignments of the eye’s optical components. Using Wavefront™ analysis (see question above), the excimer laser can be programmed to correct these subtle abnormalities, thereby improving visual contrast and the spatial detail of images seen by the eye. In other words patients often see better after custom LASIK eye surgery than they saw through their glasses or contact lenses because we’re correcting for so much more. Custom LASIK may improve vision to better than 20/20! If you have additional questions or would like more information about LASIK eye surgery offered by our Washington, DC, and Maryland area s
