Since wavefront LASIK and PRK is the latest and greatest, shouldn everyone having LASIK or PRK elect the custom procedure?
. While wavefront LASIK or PRK may be very appropriate for some, it may be over-doing it for others. The differentiation comes in the degree of one’s pre-operative higher-order aberrations. The truth is that conventional LASIK will continue to work well for a large subset of LASIK and PRK patients. If for example you elect to have monovision (blended vision), the near eye is done by conventional laser treatments, because it makes no sense to treat higher order eye imperfections if you purposely leave one eye &endash;1.75 so that eye can read.
