 Custom LASIK – also know as CustomVue - has established a new standard in laser vision correction by providing a precise level of measurement and correction never before possible.
Using WaveScan-based digital technology, originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space, Dr. Moore can now identify, measure and correct imperfections in your eyes 25 times more precisely than with standard methods used for glasses and contact lenses. This information is transferred to the laser, providing a new level of precision and accuracy.
Light travels in a procession of flat sheets known as wavefronts. Gentle wavefront lights enter the eye, pass through the entire optical system (cornea, lens and retina) and are then reflected back into the wavefront analyzer.
The wavefront analyzer compares the reflected wavefront with the original unaltered wavefronts. This produces a fingerprint of your vision. This information is then transferred to the excimer laser and is used as a guide to reshape the cornea during the laser vision treatment.
Reach the Full Potential of Your Vision & Your Personal Best Vision
 Just like a fingerprint, each person’s vision is 100 percent unique to their eyes. Before the recent advancements in technology, Dr. Moore was only able to use standard measurements to correct vision, meaning that prescriptions could only provide a certain level of correction regardless of an individual’s needs.
Now, CustomVue can measure and correct the unique imperfections of each individual’s vision and provide them with the potential to experience better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses.
Great Results by Day and by Night
One year after the CustomVue procedure, patients in a clinical study reported these great results without glasses and contact lenses:
100 percent could pass a driving test
98 percent could see 20/20 or better
70 percent could see better than 20/20
In the clinical study, four times as many people were very satisfied with their night vision after the procedure as compared to their night vision before with glasses or contact lenses.
Taking the Mystery out of Laser Vision Correction
 The Custom LASIK process begins with a consultation in our office where you will learn about the technology and the procedure. Various tests will be performed to assess the overall health of your eyes and to measure and create a detailed and unique map of their eyes. Once it’s confirmed that you are a good candidate for laser vision correction, the procedure can be scheduled.
On the day of your surgery, anesthetic drops are placed into your eyes. The unique correction information of your eyes is transferred from the WaveScan to the laser. Laser vision correction works by gently reshaping the cornea with the cool beam from the laser to remove microscopic amounts of tissue, less than the thickness of a human hair in most cases.
The Custom LASIK surgery typically takes 30 minutes for both eyes. The majority of individuals feel no discomfort. Many patients notice immediate results after CustomVue and vision continues to improve over several days. Routine follow-up visits complete the process.
