All the Facts
What is CustomVue™ laser vision correction?
VISX CustomVue™ is an individualized laser vision correction
treatment that is WaveScan-guided. This enables a doctor to measure
and correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision
that could never be measured before with standard methods used for
glasses and contact lenses. With the CustomVue procedure, nearsighted
and astigmatic individuals have the potential to achieve a new level
of vision that we call Personal Best Vision.
What do you mean by Personal Best Vision?
Personal Best Vision refers to the new level of laser vision correction
that can be achieved with the CustomVue procedure. Since WaveScan
technology can measure and correct imperfections that are unique
to each individual’s vision with 25 times more precision than
standard measurements for glasses and contact lenses, individuals
can potentially achieve the best possible vision for their eyes.
How does the CustomVue procedure work?
First, the WaveScan technology measures the imperfections in the
eyes and produces a WavePrint® Map. Much like a fingerprint,
no two WavePrint maps are alike. Then, the treatment information
is transferred to the VISX STAR S4™ laser. The doctor then
uses that information to fine-tune the procedure thereby providing
a new level of precision and accuracy.
What can the CustomVue procedure do for
me?
As shown in the clinical study, CustomVue has the potential to produce
better vision than is possible with glasses and contact lenses.
It tailors a distinct correction for each individual–in fact
each treatment is “designed” by the unique characteristics
of your individual eye.
Results
Is the CustomVue procedure FDA approved?
Based on the clinical study, the U.S. FDA has approved the CustomVue
procedure as safe and effective for treating nearsightedness and
astigmatism.
What are some of the results of CustomVue™
to date?
In the FDA study, one
year after the VISX CustomVue™ procedure:
- 100% of participants
could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses
- 98% of participants
could see 20/20 or better without glasses or contact lenses
- 70% of participants
could see better than 20/20 without glasses or contact lenses
In addition, many participants reported that they had clearer, better vision both during the day and at night, compared to their vision with glasses or contact lenses before the procedure.
What does better than 20/20 mean?
20/20 is the current standard for excellence in vision. But, as
shown in a clinical study, individuals with the CustomVue procedure
have the potential to see even better than 20/20. In fact, one year
after the CustomVue procedure nearly 70 percent of clinical study
participants saw 20/16 or better.
Can the CustomVue procedure improve my night vision?
Yes, potentially. In the clinical study, four times as many people were very satisfied with their vision
at night after the procedure as compared to their night vision before the procedure with glasses and contact lenses.
