WaveScan technology was originally
developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when
viewing distant objects in space. This technology has now been applied to
laser vision correction, measuring imperfections in the eye never measured
before using standard methods for glasses and contact lenses.
WaveScan-based digital technology
identifies and measures imperfections in your eyes 25 times more precisely
than standard methods. In addition, WaveScan provides information that is
transferred to the laser, driving a new level of precision and accuracy.
Until now, eye doctors were forced to
practice one-size-fits-all vision. An off-the-shelf lens can correct your
vision fairly well, but it does not correct it precisely. Now, with
WaveScan technology, your eye doctor can custom tailor a correction for
the unique characteristics of your vision.
