Wavefront LASIK surgery is a type of laser eye surgery that uses a special wavefront machine to map the surface of your eye. This information is then used to create a custom treatment plan for your surgery. Wavefront LASIK is often referred to as “custom” or “bladeless” LASIK because it offers a more individualized approach to treatment than traditional LASIK. It eliminates imperfections beyond hyperopia, myopia, and astigmatism. The unit used to measure visual correction is called the Diopter. With wavefront LASIK, your doctor can measure visual correction to 0.01 Diopters, whereas with the traditional LASIK, they can only measure 0.25 Diopters.
