Open the door to a bright, clear future
The Advanced CustomVueTM procedure is ushering in a new era in laser vision correction. The doorway to freedom form glasses and contact lenses is now open to millions of people, including many who were once told they were not candidates. The reason is simple until now, there has never been a laser vision correction procedure that offers the precision and accuracy of the Advanced CustomVue procedure.
Since 2003, the Advanced CustomVue procedure has earned FDA approval to treat the broadest range of vision imperfections possible, including mild to severe nearsightedness (up to 11 diopters of correction), farsightedness, and all types of astigmatism.
Your wait is over
No more lost, torn, dirty contact lenses. No more hassles. No more time spent putting in and taking out contacts. No more glasses. Nothing between you and your world.
It is possible
Clinical studies presented to the FDA show that the Advanced CustomVue procedure can potentially produce better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses. In fact, clinical studies have shown that more patients were satisfied or very satisfied with their vision after the Advanced CustomVue treatment than they were before treatment with glasses or contact lenses.
The difference is clear
The results patients experience are made possible by remarkable technology advances and exclusive mathematical formulas that combine to create the Advanced CustomVue procedure. Technologies include the WaveScan WaveFrontTM system that identifies and measures imperfections in a patient’s eyes 25 time more precisely than standard measurements for glasses or contact lenses. The WaveScanTM System transfers the digital data to the STAR S4IRTM Excimer Laser, which is used to perform the treatment.
In addition, the Advanced CustomVue procedure uses FDA-approved VISXTM Iris Registration Technology, a non-contact method of aligning the treatment to the cornea, providing greater laser alignment accuracy.
First and foremost
The Advanced CustomVue procedure was developed by VISX, the company that invented laser vision correction. VISX Technology remains the industry’s leader in the U.S., used by more doctors than all others combined. In 2005, VISX was acquired by Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., forming a global leader in vision care.
The path to freedom
Your journey begins by scheduling a personal consultation with your doctor. During your visit, you’ll learn about the procedure and undergo testing that ensures you are a good candidate to receive Advanced CustomVue treatment.
One of the tests you will undergo is a WaveScan test which creates a map of the unique imperfections of your eyes. The Advanced CustomVue procedure uses the digital information from that map to design a custom treatment for each of your eyes. VISX Iris Registration technology, available only with the Advanced CustomVue procedure, centers treatment correctly, independent of the normal pupil shifts that occur after measurement and before treatment, regardless of the amount of time between. The one-of-a-kind approach and technical safeguards allow the Advanced CustomVue procedure to achieve exceptional accuracy and precision.
Full speed ahead
On the day of treatment, your doctor will place anesthetic drops in your eyes. The WaveScan map data is transferred to the STAT S4IR Excimer Laser, which uses a cool laser beam to remove microscopic layers of cells, reshaping your corner to create a new Curvature.
Bringing your world into focus
Many patients experience immediate results, which continue to improve over the next several days. The morning following surgery, patients often wake up to a crisp, clear view of the world that surprises and delights them.
Looking ahead
During clinical trials for FDA approvals of all indications nearsightedness, extreme nearsightedness, farsightedness, mixed astigmatism- participants treated were tested over many months.
