Custom LASIK, also known as wavefront-guided LASIK, is an advanced form of laser vision correction tailored to your unique visual fingerprint. Unlike traditional LASIK, which corrects basic refractive errors, Custom LASIK addresses subtle imperfections in the eye’s optical system—called higher-order aberrations—that can impact clarity, especially in low light.
At TLC Laser Eye Centers, we take a personalized approach to determine if this technology is the best fit for your eyes and your lifestyle.
What Makes Custom LASIK Different?
Wavefront-guided Custom LASIK uses highly sensitive aberrometers to map thousands of data points on your eye. This data informs a laser treatment plan that is unique to each patient.
Key Features of Custom LASIK:
Advanced diagnostics using wavefront technology
Personalized treatment based on your eye’s unique optical signature
Reduced risk of glare, halos, and night vision disturbances
Greater precision for people with complex vision profiles
