Custom Vision Correction is a new and advanced form of laser vision correction that uses technology to measure your vision 25 times more precisely than other conventional techniques. Custom Vision Correction is becoming the most widely performed laser vision correction procedure today.
Custom Vision Correction produces astounding results.
According to FDA data:
- Over 98% of participants obtained 20/20 vision or better;
- 70% obtained even better than 20/20 vision;
- ALL participants had vision good enough to pass a driving test
About Custom Vision Correction Technology
Your vision is unique. It is as individual as your fingerprint or your DNA.
VISX WaveScan® is a form of technology that historically has been used in space telescopes. VISX WaveScan® provides your NEI ophthalmologist with a map of the unique characteristics and patterns of your eye. This pattern tells your NEI eye doctor whether or not you are a good candidate for laser vision correction and enables him or her to determine a customized treatment pattern that is unique to the individual.
VISX WaveScan® technology measures your vision up to 25 times more precisely than traditional methods used to measure vision for conventional eyewear.
If your NEI eye doctor feels it is beneficial, he/she may choose to provide you with a PreVue® Lens during the consultation. The PreVue® Lens enables you to view an approximation of your potential corrected vision prior to treatment; however, it is not meant to be predictive of your actual result.
VISX® CustomVue™ technology is an FDA-approved technology that enables your NEI ophthalmologist to correct your vision even more precisely than ever before.
