What is the difference between Conventional LASIK and CustomVue iLASIK?
Conventional LASIK treats the majority of common aberrations or imperfections called “lower order aberrations.” These aberrations are responsible for causing nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. CustomVue LASIK provides a more precise treatment for “higher order aberrations,” which we can now measure with the WaveScan aberrometer. This allows us to provide patients with a better quality of vision by measuring and addressing all of these aberrations as part of the treatment plan.
