James required Wavefront guided LASIK with Alcon Wavelight Laser

By Staff in Categories: LASIK


James has large night time pupils of 8.0mm and testing showed higher order aberration scores that put him at an increased risk for night time halos and glare if he had conventional LASIK surgery. This video shows how his eyes were carefully measured with the Allegro Wavefront analyzer and these measurements were used to design a cusomized surgical plan for his eyes to improve his chances of achieving 20/20 vision or better while reducing the risk of increased night vision problmes common with conventional LASIK surgery.

    Hey James…I am about to have surgery next week using the Wavelight as well. Are you still happy with yours? Should I go through with it?

    I had wavefront IntraLASIK 2 yrs. ago and ended up with decentered ablations, undercorrection, lots of pain, and large degrees of high-order aberrations. I know for certain that my surgeon began ablating tissue with the VISX laser immediately after creating the flap. Both the Intralase and excimer were right next to each other and he just swiveled my head from one to the other without waiting, as in your case, for bubbles to dissipate. I wonder if this could have contributed to my poor result.
