California Lasik Surgery and Laser Eye Surgery Prices

O Wavefront Lasik? Is it worth the extra cost?

traditional eye exams used in Lasik operations can only identify two abnormalities of the cornea, and these cylindrical and spherical. A failure occurs in the cylindrical astigmatism, while a spherical abnormality of myopia and farsightedness (myopia and hyperopia). Wavefront technology, by contrast, can detect an infinite number of aberrations. This is achieved by a fixation target with a laser beam input. The laser beam generates a light source, a wavefront sensor used to measure the slope of wavefront as it exits. Then, the program determines the characteristics of excimer ablation. Therefore, if you suspect you have other eye problems that astigmatism, nearsightedness or farsightedness, Wavefron worth the extra cost.
