Wavefront Lasik Eye Surgery
Wavefront results in better vision than with standard, non-WaveFront treatment, which puts a uniform correction across your entire cornea, even though we know that nobody's visual pathway is perfectly uniform. |

WORRIED ABOUT GETTING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY? DR. CHYNN AND parkavenuelaser.com VISX IS BY FAR THE #1 LASER IN THE US MORE EYES HAVE BEEN TREATED ON THE VISX LASER THAN ON ALL OTHER BRANDS---COMBINED! What is WaveFront and How Does it Work?"WaveFront was developed by NASA to treat the imperfections in the Hubble Space Telescope," Dr. Chynn explains. Basically, many points of light are shone into your eye, pass through your entire optical pathway, and are reflected back, captured, and the deviations from perfection mapped out. People say the result is like a fingerprint of your eye, since no two people have identical WaveFront maps--even the two eyes are always different!
"This results in better vision than with standard, non-WaveFront treatment, which puts a uniform correction across your entire cornea, even though we know that nobody's visual pathway is perfectly uniform." "I was the 1st surgeon in NYC to routinely combine WaveFront with No-Flap LASEK. This makes sense, as the WaveFront map is captured and saved on the computer before any flap is made, and making a flap causes higher-order aberrations, so capturing the treatment flap before inducing additional aberrations by making a flap is nonsensical!" Dr. Chynn exclaims. "In my hands, over 50% of my patients who elect to have WaveFront + LASEK are seeing better than 20/20 afterwards--remarkable!" "This video clip you are about to watch explains how VISX has pioneered the use of Fourier analysis to reproduce the WaveFront map. Many studies have shown that the Fourier wave transformation can more accurately reproduce visual aberrations more accurately than Zernicke polynomials, at least at the order of polynomial commonly used. This is why VISX switched from Zernicke to Fourier in 2005--and parkavenuelaser.com did, too! "We at parkavenuelaser.com are spending over $100,000 per year to constantly update all of our equipment to provide our patients with the best available technology. For example, we spent $50,000 in 2003 to upgrade to S3 ActiveTrak eye tracker, $75,000 in 2004 to upgrade to WaveScan, $50,000 in 2005 to upgrade to Iris Registration--and this is just on the laser platform. "This is in contrast to a low-budget center in the 40s, that still uses an old Nidek EC-5000 laser that cannot track, cannot treat hyperopia or mixed astigmatism, cannot do WaveFront, or Iris Registration. No wonder that center pays Nidek $0 per case in royalty fees, while I am paying VISX $500 per patient! I am happy to pay this, and more, because that money is used by VISX to continuously update their technology--which we then buy as soon as it comes out. "Please view this clip if you are interested in learning the nuances of CustomVue and the Fourier transformation--or just take my word for it--that I promise to treat all of my patients with state-of-the-art equipment--as I was treated for my own LASIK!"
