Before the recent advancements in technology, doctors used standard measurements to correct vision, meaning that prescriptions could only provide a certain level of correction, regardless of an individual's needs. At the Herzig Eye Institute, we consider the VISX Wavefront-guided CustomVue™ system to be the single most important instrument in our commitment to provide you with Customized Vision Correction™. Using WaveScan technology, originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space, doctors can now identify, measure, and correct imperfections in an individual’s 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.
With the VISX Wavefront-guided CustomVue™ system, our surgeons are able to measure and correct the unique imperfections of each individual’s vision with the goal of helping our patients achieve a far better visual quality than what they are currently experiencing with glasses or contacts. The Herzig Eye Institute was the first eye care facility in North America to offer this state-of-the-art, customized service. We call it High Definition Vision®
