Wavefront-guided LASIK

Wavefront-guided LASIK is a variation of LASIK surgery where, rather than apply a simple correction of focusing power to the cornea (as in traditional LASIK), an ophthalmologist applies a spatially varying correction, guiding the computer-controlled eximer laser with measurements from a wavefront sensor. The goal is to achieve a more optically perfect eye, though the final result still depends on the physician's success at predicting changes which occur during healing.

Patient Satisfaction

Various surveys have been performed to determine patient satisfaction with LASIK. These surveys have found most patients to be satisfied, with anywhere from 92�98% of respondents describing themselves as satisfied.Some patients with poor outcomes from LASIK procedures report that they have significantly reduced quality of life due to vision problems, and have expressed concerns over the way that LASIK is marketed to potential patients. Patients who have suffered LASIK complications have published websites in an effort to educate the public about the risks, and to provide forums where prospective and past patients can discuss the surgery.

New Lasik Surgery For Thin Corneas

Up to now, if your corneas were too thin, doctors just couldn't do Lasik on you, so you'd be stuck wearing glasses or contacts. Well now doctors are using advanced surface ablation to operate on patients who couldn't get treated before. Good news for patients with thin corneas.
