Custom LASIK surgery, also called wavefront or wavefront-guided LASIK, is revolutionary technology in the LASIK industry. Originally used in astronomy and physics to reduce imperfections in the multiple lenses of telescopes, Wavefront technology is now used in WaveFront LASIK surgery procedures, guiding the laser to reshape the cornea, using 3-dimensional measurements that accurately show how your eye processes images. The wavefront measurement system allows for extremely precise, custom vision correction that cannot be achieved with traditional LASIK surgery, contact lenses, or eyeglasses.
WaveFront LASIK measures how your eye focuses light rays, comparing your eye to the way in which a ‘perfect' eye would perform. A 3-Dimensional map, called a ‘WavePrint', is then created from those measurements, demonstrating your eye's specific irregularities in processing images. The map also serves as a guide for your surgeon during your LASIK procedure, when your specific wavefront signature is used to guide the excimer laser in its precision movements.
Am I a Candidate for WaveFront LASIK?
The best candidates for WaveFront LASIK are individuals with mild to moderately high common vision flaws such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Wavefront technology can improve how much you see and how well you see. Many common post-LASIK complaints, like glare, halos, and difficulty seeing at night, are greatly reduced. Until the development of WaveFront technology, LASIK eye surgery only improved how much you could see, but the finer details related to how well you could see were not addressed. Therefore, the quality of your vision is improved with:
Are you considering WaveFront LASIK? Then consider Dr. Rajesh Khanna, serving Bakersfield, Corona, Riverside and Ontario.
Dr. Khanna wants you to know that, "…your LASIK surgery can be more personalized than ever before! Wavefront technology allows me to extract corneal information that traditional LASIK is not able to achieve. The WaveFront measurement system gives me intimate knowledge of your unique eye characteristics, so I can provide you with the ultimate LASIK results. In many cases, I can help you achieve 20/20 vision or better!"

Until the development of WaveFront technology, LASIK eye surgery only improved how much you could see, but the finer details related to how well you could see were not addressed. Therefore, the quality of your vision is improved with:
- A greater opportunity to achieve 20/20 vision or better
- Less chance of losing the best vision you can achieve with correction
- Less loss of vision quality or sensitivity to contrasts
- Less glare, halos and insufficient night vision
