VISX CustomVue™ Improves the View of Laser Vision
Correction
Advanced CustomVue™ Individualized
Laser Vision Correction was developed by VISX, the company
recognized worldwide for bringing innovation and breakthrough
technology to laser vision correction. With CustomVue™,
a new standard in laser vision correction is established,
providing a precise level of measurement and correction
never before possible.
Using WaveScan®-based digital technology,
originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes
to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in
space, doctors can now identify, measure, and correct
imperfections in an individual's eyes 25 times more
precisely than with standard methods used for glasses
and contact lenses. This information is transferred
to the laser, providing a new level of precision and
accuracy.
Just like a fingerprint, each person's
vision is 100 percent unique to their eyes. Before the
recent advancements in technology, doctors were only
able to use standard measurements to correct vision,
meaning that prescriptions could only provide a certain
level of correction regardless of an individual's needs.
Now, VISX Advanced CustomVue™ can
measure and correct the unique imperfections of each
individual's vision and provide them with the potential
to experience better vision than is possible with glasses
or contact lenses—Personal Best Vision.
Taking the Mystery out of Laser Vision
Correction
The laser vision correction process begins
with a consultation with your doctor where a patient
can learn about the technology and the procedure.
An evaluation follows to assess a patient's
overall health and to measure and create a detailed
and unique map of their eyes. Once it's confirmed that
an individual is a good candidate for laser vision correction,
the procedure can be scheduled.
On the day of the procedure, anesthetic
drops are placed into the patient's eyes. The patient's
unique correction information is transferred from the
WaveScan to the laser. Laser vision correction works
by gently reshaping the cornea with the cool beam from
the laser to remove microscopic amounts of tissue—less
than the thickness of a human hair in most cases—to
create a new curvature. The procedure typically takes
several seconds and the majority of individuals feel
no discomfort. Many patients notice immediate results
after CustomVue™ and vision continues to improve
over several days. Routine follow-up visits complete
the process.
Great Results by Day and by Night
One year after the CustomVue™ procedure,
patients in a clinical study reported these great results
without glasses and contact lenses:
100 percent could pass a driving test
98 percent could see 20/20 or better
70 percent could see better than 20/20
In
the clinical study, four times as many people were very
satisfied with their night vision after the procedure
as compared to their night vision before with glasses
or contact lenses.
Clear Vision—Anytime, Anywhere!
VISX® lasers have been used
to perform millions of laser vision correction procedures
in the U.S. and around the world. If you're over the
age of 21, and are nearsighted and/or astigmatic, you
may be a candidate for the CustomVue™ procedure.
