Custom vs. non-custom lasik....what patients need to know...the lasik experts at North Shore eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long island
With lasik, Dr. Martin, Dr. Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro feel that you must have custom lasik. In a non-custom laser eye surgery procedure, the eye doctor simply takes the numbers from the eye glass measurement and programs them into the laser so that there is no wavemap or waveprint. Every patient that is a -1.00 will be seen as the same. As we know, every person has a unique fingerprint and every person has a unique visual system. Because of that, Visx Customvue designed a system in that the laser vision correction laser takes a custom snap shot of your entire visual system taking into account finer irregularities like Coma, Trefoil, and Spherical Aberration for a more customized and unique correction of vision. No two wavescans are the same and no two corrections are the same. By doing this, our board certified eye surgeons get more patients to 20/20 and beyond. Dr. Jeff Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro also feel that every patient should have a blade-free flap as the first step in lasik. Intralase, a bladeless laser makes the most precise and safest flap possible and this works well with custom lasik for the very best results. To make this lasik procedure affordable, we offer zero percent financing for two years through care credit.
