CustomVue¢â laser vision correction is now FDA approved
to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration
has approved CustomVue treatments, establishing a new standard
for the correction of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness
(hyperopia) and astigmatism.
You may have heard CustomVue treatments
referred to as "custom
LASIK" or "wavefront LASIK." CustomVue treatments use WaveScan¢ç
technology, originally developed to reduce distortions in high-powered
telescopes, to:
- Measure imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely
than standard methods.
- Produce a detailed map of your eye
as unique as your fingerprint.
- Generate digital information which is transferred directly
to the laser used in your procedure,
to provide a new level
of precision and accuracy.
In addition, the CustomVue procedure uses Iris
Registration Technology the first fully automated method of aligning
and registering wavefront corrections for CustomVue treatments.
This non-contact method of aligning the treatment to the cornea
provides greater alignment accuracy.
With CustomVue treatments, your doctor can measure and correct
the unique imperfections in your vision. As shown in FDA clinical
studies for treatment of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, the
CustomVue procedure can produce better vision than is possible
with glasses or contact lenses. |
