Why Choose Custom LASIK/PRK?
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) are both types vision correction procedures designed to address issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. While the techniques and indications for LASIK and PRK differ, they share the goal of helping patients rely less on or completely forgo the need for, prescription glasses or contact lenses.
With the custom wavefront technology available at Rockford Eye & Laser Center, our eye care specialists are able to personalize these procedures. There are many factors that contribute to the emergence of vision problems, including genetic predisposition, medical conditions, and the aging process. Before making any treatment recommendation, our doctors consider these underlying sources and conduct a thorough eye examination.
Typically, only three aberrations are measured when evaluating for refractive errors, giving a broad impression of what is creating the issues a patient is having with their sight. Wavefront technology measures many different aspects of your eye health, giving our ophthalmologists the details necessary to customize treatment and consistently achieve positive outcomes.
Advantages of Wavefront-Guided Procedures
Custom wavefront technology enhances the precision of refractive procedures. This process involves completely mapping out imperfections in a patient’s optical system, which our doctors then use as guidance when they perform surgery. When compared to conventional approaches, some of the benefits of wavefront-guided LASIK and PRK include:
- Procedures suitable for patients with larger pupils
- Increased successful cases. A higher percentage of patients who receive custom wavefront surgery achieve vision that is 20/20 or better compared to those who undergo vision correction through alternative methods.
- Decreased incidence of glare or halos in vision following treatment
- Improved visual function, particularly with regard to enhanced contrast sensitivity, resulting in better night vision
We perform custom LASIK at our Rockford office; uncomplicated cases taking as little as an hour to complete. Patients often report improvement in their vision the day after the procedure. Individual circumstances determine the length and the facility where our specialists provide custom PRK.
