The CustomCornea® Wavefront System allows us to offer our patients the most advanced laser vision correction available. Part of the LADARVision® system by Alcon, CustomCornea creates completely customized Laser Vision Correction procedures by gathering precise data so the laser can make the exact corrections your eyes need.
CustomCornea takes extremely detailed measurements of your corneas, producing a 3-D map that is as unique and personal as a fingerprint. If you qualify for the CustomCornea Wavefront procedure, your results will be fed into the LadarVision® 4000 on the day of your vision correction appointment, so you can enjoy an even more accurate treatment and better post-operative vision than is possible with traditional laser vision correction.

CustomCornea is the first technology able to detect and treat higher-order aberrations, the irregularities inside your eye that are responsible for visual disturbances such as halos, glare and shadows. (Lower-order aberrations include nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.) Neglecting higher-order aberrations during laser vision correction can leave you with blurry, poor-quality vision even if you technically see 20/20 or better. CustomCornea ensures that your vision after Laser Vision Correction will be crisp and clear.

The Wavefront exam complements corneal topography by measuring aberrations inside the cornea, rather than on its surface. The instruments work in similar ways: they compare the way light rays bend when they enter and leave your eye. For the CustomCornea exam, you'll rest your chin and forehead against the machine and look into the window. The technician will take photographs of both your eyes and Dr. Mang will examine the results with you on the computer screen.
On the day of your surgery, the LADARVision laser maps this data onto your cornea, reshaping it exactly the way you need for unparalleled vision improvement.
