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.
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.
Custom LASIK isn’t for everyone, but it can be highly beneficial for individuals with specific visual needs. Based on clinical experience and FDA data, here’s who may benefit most:
| Candidate Type | Why Custom LASIK Helps |
|---|---|
| Patients with higher-order aberrations | Improves night vision, reduces glare and halos |
| Patients with large pupils | Customized profiles may lower visual side effects |
| Individuals with myopic astigmatism | FDA-approved up to -6.5D sphere and -3D cylinder |
| Patients seeking precision outcomes | Advanced mapping delivers sharper visual results |
While some LASIK providers may apply Custom LASIK to all patients, we believe in individualized care. At TLC Laser Eye Centers, our approach is guided by:
