Custom Cornea LASIK by LADARVision
LASIK is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses. Traditional LASIK surgery can provide good results in correcting a wide range of common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. These vision problems are known as lower order aberrations.
Custom Cornea by LADARVision is a new kind of LASIK procedure which takes a similar approach and can help with many of the same visual problems. There are two reasons Custom Cornea is different. Custom Cornea is the first laser vision correction procedure to go beyond reshaping your cornea based on your prescription for eyeglasses or contacts. The procedure is completely customized to your eyes and your eyes alone. Secondly, Custom Cornea can help with other vision problems that could not be detected previously, known as higher order aberrations. Experts believe these aberrations can be responsible for vision problems like glare and halos in low-light conditions and at night.
Higher order aberrations cannot be treated by traditional laser vision correction procedures, or even by wearing glasses or contacts. In October 2002, Custom Cornea became the first laser vision correction procedure FDA approved to address higher order aberrations.
Using laser and radar technology developed by NASA, LADARVision was the first approved system with active eye tracking, which compensates for involuntary eye movements. LADARVision has the only system utilizing laser radar tracking technology, a system that measures eye movement 4,000 times each second. Furthermore, LADARVision's unique small-spot laser beam (less than one millimeter in diameter) offers micron size reshaping of the cornea, resulting in an extremely smooth surface.
