Advanced Custom Ablation: New Technology for Better Quality of Vision
LASIK is the most widely used technology for the correction of most spherocylindrical ametropias because of its safety and its predictability that leads to excellent outcomes for both the patient and the surgeon. Over the years there has been a progressive refinement of the technique. Customised correction of refractive errors using wavefront technology has revolutionised the way we plan and execute the treatment of refractive errors there are two specific reasons why customised treatment is transforming the entire LASIK arena. The first is that wavefront technology allows us to treat or not the only second order aberrations such as sphere and cylinder but also a higher order aberrations such as coma and spherical aberrations which exist in normal individuals as well as post refractive surgery patients. A major shift in the thought process of refractive surgery is that the LASIK surgeon now seeks to enhance vision beyond what nature itself and designed. With the advent of adaptive opti
