Introduction to VISX CustomVue and Advantages over Alcon and Bausch & Lomb lasers:

This clip is an introduction to the VISX CustomVue WaveFront system. It explains one important advantage that VISX CustomVue has over the Alcon and Bausch & Lomb systems--the ability to capture WaveFront images from an undilated pupil.

Introduction To VISX CustomVue And Advantages

While this has time-saving advantages for both patient and doctor, there are additional, more important advantages.

"Part of the reason I chose the VISX CustomVue laser over the Alcon or Bausch & Lomb platforms is for efficiency--both my patients and my staff like the fact that we don't have to dilate people to capture the WaveFront on the VISX system," says Dr. Chynn.

"But more importantly, there are strong theoretical and practical reasons to prefer a system that captures the WaveFront image in its natural night-adapted state--without resorting to pharmacologic dilation with drugs. You see at night through a slightly dilated pupil, not a blown pupil due to phenylephrine. Therefore, many experts feel that this is a more accurate representation of how you actually see--which is what we want to capture and ultimately treat," Dr. Chynn explains.

"Take Joanna, who is my Laser Vision Coordinator. She is relatively young, and has large pupils. Her prescription going in was about a -4.00, with less than -1.00 of astigmatism. Amber, my Laser Technician, captured her WaveScan on the VISX platform, and adjusted her ablation diameter upwards to cover her entrance pupil. How is she seeing now? Let's ask her:

"Before my procedure, I was worried about my night vision, because I knew that I had large pupils," says Joanna. "I even went 'mystery-shopping' at other LASIK centers here in NYC, and was told at one place that I might not be a great candidate, because of my pupil size (almost 8mm). But Dr. Chynn explained to me that he would be performing a No-Flap LASEK on me, instead of a standard LASIK, and that this, along with maximizing the laser treatment area, would help reduce my chance of night glare."

"Now, 1 month after my surgery, my uncorrected vision with both eyes open is 20/10, or twice as good as 20/20, and much better than I ever saw in my contacts--without any night glare, whatsoever. In fact, my night vision now after my CustomVue LASEK is better than it was before, not worse!"

Understanding the difference between laser platforms, as well as LASIK vs. LASEK, is an important first step in your decision-making process. Please view this short video clip to help you learn more, so you can make the best choice for your eyes!
