What Is the Difference Between Conventional LASIK and Our LASIK?

Both procedures are performed with the VISX Star IR excimer laser. The main difference in the two is the utilization of the WaveFront analyzer in our LASIK Utah procedures. This CustomVue WaveFront system identifies and measures specific imperfections called high order aberrations in a patient’s eyes, making it 25 times more precise than standard measurements. The WaveScan system transfers the digital data to the Star S4 Excimer laser which is used to perform the treatment on the patients eye. In addition, the advanced CustomVue procedure uses an FDA-approved VISX Iris registration technology, a non-contact method of aligning the treatment to the cornea, providing precise laser alignment accuracy, even with patient movement during the procedure.

The advanced CustomVue procedure has earned approval to treat the broadest range of vision imperfections possible, including mild to severe nearsightedness (up to 11 diopters of correction) farsightedness, and all types of astigmatism. Conventional LASIK is still an excellent choice for many patients but is not as effective with high order aberrations. For his Salt Lake City, Provo, and Orem patients, Dr. Davis carefully analyzes the option that is right for each patient. He will recommend a treatment based on the level of aberrations on the front surface of the eyes.

Overview of Refractive Laser Eye Surgery

Refractive laser eye surgery, is a procedure where a laser is used to correct vision problems. In recent years, tremendous advancements have been made in this field. After refractive laser eye surgery, many patients report seeing better than they have ever seen before.

Short for PhotoRefractive Keratectomy, this laser eye surgery is used to correct mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. During PRK laser eye surgery, the surface epithelium is removed and the eye surgeon uses a laser to reshape the cornea. This excimer laser, which delivers a cool pulsing beam of ultraviolet light, is used on the surface of the cornea, rather than beneath a flap of corneal tissue as is done is LASIK.
