LASIK is the most common form of laser vision correction where the middle portion of the cornea is treated by a laser light introduced to reshape the front surface of the eye. A machine called microkeratome is used to create a corneal flap where a laser is then used to reshape the corneal surface. This procedure offers the advantages of quicker healing, less pain less regression of effects (more stable results) and low incidence of corneal scarring. Re-treatments are generally easier with LASIK and the procedure is more preferable for moderate to high levels of correction
Wavefront
LASIK, so called 4th generation Lasik is the latest and the most
advanced refractive treatment available today and where conventional
LASIK treatment cannot correct. This technique offers a new way of
analyzing a person’s whole refractive deviation from the perfect
eye. The procedure is done by a special kind of light wave
introduced to the back of the eye and as light reflects back to a
special detector camera, a perfect eye reference shape is measured.
This deviation (also called wavefront aberrations) is measured by
WASCA ( WAvefront Supported
Customized Ablation ) machine to calculate the
laser profile of the individual patient.
