CustomVue Technology

At the Center for Advanced Eye Surgery we use the VISX Star S4 Tracking Laser to perform all refractive procedures. To create the flap on the cornea, we use the Amadeus Microkeratome. All of the equipment used has the newest and most up-to-date software available.

The procedure begins with testing done with the WaveScan technology. This test allows us to measure the imperfections that are unique to your eyes and produce a WavePrint™ Map, so detailed that it is often referred to as the "fingerprint" of your eye. This information allows the physician to "customize" your treatment.

Once we have created the WavePrint™ Map, the treatment information is transferred to the VISX Star S4 laser system and your procedure is performed. The treatment plan is created for your eye only and just like a fingerprint, no two are identical.

This VISX Star S4 excimer laser system has a faster chair, automatic alignment ™ for both eyes, horizontal alignment capability, multiple treatments, offline programming, and the following exciting features:

• Variable Spot Beam Technology: Variable-shaped beams ranging in size from 0.65 to 6.5 millimeters are scanned and offset to allow personalized refractive treatments. Exclusive SmartBeam™ technology adjusts beam size according to treatment, minimizing corneal tissue removal.
• ActiveTrak™ 3-D Active Eye Tracking: The only laser system that can capture all three dimensions of intraoperative eye movements without the requirement of pupillary dilation.
• Larger Ablation Zones: VSS™ (Variable Spot Scanning) technology adds a blend zone that increases the ablation zone by 51%, increasing the overall diameter of the ablation to 8 millimeters.
  

At the end of this section, you will be able to view the results of the FDA clinical study. As you will see from the figures shown, the CustomVue treatment has the potential to produce better vision than is often possible with glasses or contacts. Just as a tailored suit is sure to fit you better than one that you select off the rack, the tailored CustomVue procedure provides you with the distinct correction that is needed for your own individual eyes.

FDA Clinical Study Results:

Here are the significant results one year after the VISX CustomVue procedure:

• 100% of participants could pass a driving test without glasses or contacts.
• 98% of participants could see 20/20 without glasses or contacts.
• 70% of participants could see better than 20/20 without glasses or contacts.
  

The current standard measurement for excellence in vision is 20/20. But with the CustomVue procedure, individuals have the potential to see even better than 20/20. In fact, one year after the CustomVue procedure more than 70% of clinical study participants saw 20/16 or better!
