Traditional LASIK corrects basic refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using a standard laser. In contrast, Wavefront-guided and Topo-guided LASIK are advanced methods that use detailed scans of the eye to guide the laser. These techniques correct higher-order aberrations and provide more precise, customized treatments, leading to better vision outcomes.

• These advanced techniques map the unique imperfections of your eye, including small aberrations that affect your vision in low light or cause glare and halos. By correcting these specific imperfections, Wavefront-guided and Topo-guided LASIK offer sharper and clearer vision, especially in situations like driving at night.

While all LASIK procedures are safe, Wavefront-guided and Topo-guided LASIK are considered more advanced because they provide a more customized treatment plan. This precision reduces the risk of under correction, overcorrection, and other complications. As a result, many patients experience fewer side effects, such as glare or halos, and quicker recovery times.

Ideal candidates typically have stable vision, no significant eye health problems (like cataracts or glaucoma), and a prescription within the treatable range. However, the best way to determine if you’re a good candidate is through a comprehensive eye exam by an experienced LASIK surgeon, who will evaluate your eye shape, prescription, and overall eye health.

Recovery times are generally faster compared to traditional LASIK. Most patients experience improved vision within a day or two, though it can take a few weeks for your vision to fully stabilize. Many patients return to work within 1-2 days, with minimal discomfort during recovery.

The results of LASIK are generally permanent, though your vision may change slightly over time due to age-related factors, such as presbyopia (difficulty focusing on close objects). Many patients experience stable vision for many years after surgery, but some might need a touch-up procedure in the future.
