What is Wavefront™ technology?
An instrument called the WaveScan™ performs Wavefront™ analysis. The WaveScan™ assesses every ray of light that enters the eye. It determines what alterations in the visual system will produce the clearest image. Therefore, Wavefront™ analyzers precisely measure the overall refractive error of the entire eye, including any aberrations caused by the tear film, anterior and posterior cornea, lens, vitreous and retina. The Wavefront™ sensor measures your unique refraction and is 25 times more sensitive than a standard refraction. In some areas, Wavefront™ technology can more accurately assess the refractive error to be treated as well as assist in determining which patients would do better with customized ablations or custom LASIK eye surgery.
