Our eyes are a unique part of our body. Each eye has a specific structure and is very different from the other. According to Dr. William Boothe, because our eyes are so unique, it is very important to get laser eye correction treatment customized specifically to each. In this way, you can be confident that you obtain the best possible result.
Lasik surgery is a procedure that corrects refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The Wavefront Mapping system was developed as an advanced guiding system for Lasik surgery. It uses 3D images that allow a more accurate depiction of the contours of your eyes. The system first identifies the type of error, and then determines precisely where on the eye the laser should cut depending on high or low order abberations. Finally, the system determines the present shape condition and what shape it should be after the procedure. With all this information, the eye surgery will be performed under the guidance of a computer.
The Wavefront Mapping system reduces the possibility of future side effects, including blurry vision, halos, difficulty driving, or poor night vision. If you are looking for safe and effective laser eye correction procedure, you should consider Wavefront technology.
Advantages of the Wavefront Mapping system include:
• Ability to achieve 20/20 or better vision for the patient
• Reduced capability to lose visual quality and contrast sensitivity
• Reduced capability of night eyesight disturbances and glare
Boothe Eye Care Center uses two Wavefront systems:
• The VISX Wavescan
• Alcon’s LadarWave
We all know that our eyes are important to us in our every day lives. If you would like more information about this and other laser correction technologies, please call our offices and schedule your individual consultation with Dr. William Boothe.
