What is Custom LASIK Surgery?

Custom LASIK eye surgery in a LASIK surgery technique that utilizes advanced technology to improve the results of your vision correction procedure. The Custom LASIK eye surgery is also able to treat higher-order visual distortions that cannot be addressed with traditional LASIK.

Improved Diagnostic Capabilities

Custom LASIK surgery allows your eye surgeon to diagnose your vision correction needs more precisely, so your treatment can be planned according to your specific needs. Detailed 3-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images are developed to guide the laser in reshaping your cornea. Because of the improved diagnostic capabilities, Custom LASIK surgery can be used to treat higher-order visual distortions such as glare, halos, and other imperfections that may affect the overall quality of your vision.

Enhanced Surgical Outcomes

Although the Custom LASIK procedure is performed much like the traditional LASIK surgery, patients are more likely to achieve 20/20 vision and improved vision quality with the Custom LASIK treatment. Additionally, the risk of experiencing post-LASIK complications such as difficulty with night vision is decreased with the Custom LASIK procedure. These enhanced surgical results are due to the personalized treatment planning that can be achieved with the Custom LASIK technology, which allow the surgeon to precisely alter the shape of the cornea to achieve optimal results.

Custom LASIK is quickly becoming the standard LASIK technique because of the many benefits it provides. Learn more about this and other vision correction options by visiting our St. Louis LASIK laser vision correction office.
