LADARWave™
| Wavefront
technology was originally pioneered in the field of astronomy
and physics to aid in reducing 'aberrations' or imperfections
in the multiple lenses of telescopes. In much the same way,
we use LADARWave™ CUSTOMCORNEA® to provide us with
an accurate assessment of the optical imperfections found
in the entire eye's optical system.
Our
practice is one of the first in this area to offer CUSTOMCORNEA®
utilizing LADARWave™ wavefront technology to measure
and address both lower and higher order aberrations (visual
imperfections in the eye's optical system). Unless both lower
and higher order aberrations are addressed during laser vision
correction, the quality of your vision may not be ideal, even
if you have post-operative vision of 20/20.
Here
is how this exciting technology works:

 |
First, flat waves of light are passed through your eye using a computerized
wavefront measuring instrument called LADARWave™. As the light
waves travel through your eye's optical system, the imperfections
in the eye distort the flat light waves. LADARWave™ captures
the distorted waves as they exit your eye and compares them to the
perfectly flat light waves that would have been reflected if your
optical system had no distortions.
Next, a 3D map is generated representing your unique visual distortions,
including both lower and higher order aberrations. This map is then
transferred to the LADARVision®4000 Excimer laser, and guides
the laser as it reshapes your cornea, providing you with a truly
customized laser vision procedure called CUSTOMCORNEA®.
