Using advanced wave-front technology, IntraLASIK HD Custom LASIK makes it possible to measure and cure both lower and higher order aberrations. Lower order aberrations include complications such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, while higher order aberrations involve other imperfections in the optical system such as low light visibility, glares, shadows, halos, and other distracting visual effects. By addressing both higher and lower order aberrations, IntraLASIK HD allows for ideal vision to be restored.
The process uses a computerized wave- front measuring instrument that generates a map of the eye’s visual distortions. This map serves as a guide for the laser to reshape the cornea as best as possible. Based on individual characteristics of each eye, the most commonly selected patients are those who have mild to moderately high levels of visual defects such as astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia.
IntraLASIK HD has numerous advantages over other procedures and produces better results, including:
