Wavefront technology

The excellent results of LASIK surgery is improved by research adding new methods, such as Wavefront technology. This technology gives doctors the ability to view and LASIK accurate mapping of the smallest variations in the surface of the eye. It will give physicians the ability to better tailored to individual vision LASIK surgery, and lead to more clear.

The concept originally developed by astronomers Wavefront technology recognition and mirror or lens is a little offense in. It is very important to astronomy in the perfect strategy looks to clearly see the small source of light millions of miles in the universe. The 1970 sensor is designed to search the electronic surface, and the type of sensor is now used in LASIK procedures guided by wavefront. Wavefront technology

The idea of ​​applying this technique, or use of this sensor, the field of ophthalmology and later to a specific area of ​​vision correction LASIK, began in Germany. Dr. Josef Miller began to use a sensor in his practice, and has started others to refine the sensor and the use and application of technology LASIK. In 1997 the improved sensor, with more accuracy and speed, has announced LASIK laser manufacturers. This allows companies to equipment used to develop the concept of wavefront LASIK tools for each of its laser systems themselves.

The FDA approved the first set of Wavefront guided LASIK vision correction for general use. First, the Wavefront sensor makes a map of defects of the eye, and this card is sent to the laser used in LASIK surgery vision correction phase. This changes the look accurately so the correction of vision with LASIK in the best possible care.

The Wavefront technology used in LASIK can easily be described on an informal level. A leaflet, the plane of light (known as wavefront) through the eyes reflected in the retina, and after passing through the eye and was captured by the Wavefront machine. If eyes are perfect, the light comes back as a flat sheet and follow the path along the machine LASIK. However, shortcomings are changing the way the light again, and saw the Wavefront LASIK procedure.

Many of the young leaves are flat light is sent to each eye from different directions and the resulting three-dimensional map of the eye to be used in the process of LASIK vision correction. Besides the commonly known problems of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, more than 60 models of other known and can be corrected.

All information provided by the sensor is converted by LASIK in a series of software instructions for the excimer laser to perform LASIK. Ask your doctor about the exciting advances in LASIK vision correction, and see if the procedure is for you!
