A New Standard for Laser Vision Correction

CustomVue has been approved by the United States Food & Drug Administration as a safe and effective method for correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism. As shown in the FDA clinical study, CustomVue offers the potential to enable better vision than contacts or glasses.

WaveScan Technology & The Fingerprint of Your Vision™

Your vision is unique - as personal as your fingerprint or your DNA. WaveScan® technology provides your eye doctor with a map of your vision. This exciting innovation in laser vision correction sets a new standard for visual quality and results to correct the unique imperfections in your vision.

Initially you will meet with your eye doctor for an evaluation to determine whether you are a good candidate for CustomVue. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks of the procedure with you.

A WaveScan measurement will be taken to map the unique characteristics of your vision. With this map, your doctor will be able to accurately assess whether you're a good candidate for laser vision correction. Anyone who is considering laser vision correction should obtain a WaveScan measurement as the first step. Along with the other diagnostic tests that your doctor performs, an individualized treatment plan can then be developed to address your unique vision needs.

Clinical Study Results

In the clinical study, four times as many participants were very satisfied with their night vision after CustomVue, compared to their night vision with their glasses or contact lenses before the procedure. Quality of vision refers to not only what you see, but also how well you see under a variety of conditions, such as driving at night.

PreVue® Lens

If your doctor feels it is beneficial, he or she may provide you with a PreVue Lens during the consultation. The PreVue Lens enables you to "preview" your potential vision before the CustomVue procedure. Your doctor will place a plastic lens under the laser. Using the information from the WaveScan, your unique correction will be placed on the lens. The lens is then fitted in a trial frame so that you can see your potential visual results. If a PreVue Lens is used in this evaluation, your vision through the PreVue lens is not meant to be predictive of the end result that you might achieve.

The CustomVue Procedure

On procedure day, your individualized treatment information is transferred from the WaveScan to the laser in order to drive the CustomVue procedure. The actual laser procedure typically takes several seconds. The majority of individuals feel no pain during the procedure. After CustomVue, you will notice results immediately, and your vision will continue to improve over the next few days. You will be scheduled for a follow-up visit the next day, and again several weeks after the initial procedure.
