CustomVue Technology

Design



Designing truly individualized treatment is the second step in the CustomVue procedure. The VISX Fourier Wavefront Upgrade enables you to calculate more precise ablation shapes than ever before, creating extensive individualized treatment possibilities. This proprietary algorithm utilizes all available Hartmann-Shack data points to achieve a new level of reconstruction accuracy, equivalent to 20th order Zernike.



The above images represent the wavefront shapes that are derived from the available data points. The Fourier algorithm offers greater fidelity and thus creates a shape that more closely matches the eye's actual wavefront error. Combining this unprecedented definition with the ability to adjust the optical and ablation zones, the powerful WaveScan software creates a custom tailored correction map for the unique characteristics of each individual eye.
