The primary difference between Custom LASIK and Traditional LASIK, is the use of a WaveFront analyzer - originally invented by NASA for use in high-powered telescopes. WaveFront technology at Dr David Kleiman is now available for medical use. The WaveFront analyzer produces a sophisticated treatment map of your corneas, like a fingerprint, and it is 25 times more precise than standard measurements.
An excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision. When this part of the procedure is finished, the corneal flap is folded back into position to act as a delicate bandage over the treated area enabling rapid recovery.
