Wavefront Optimized

Wavefront optimized does not depend on a patient’s personal aberration profile when it determines a patient’s needs. Instead, it uses the patients glasses prescription and using a complex nomogram determines the most accurate profile that can incorporate many of the elements that can provide variability in custom LASIK. It does not depend on measurements at any one time but uses the results of past patients to determine an ideal laser profile.

Wavefront optimized LASIK can be preferred in cases where a patient’s aberration profile is very variable or when a patient has very low levels of aberrations. Wavefront customized LASIK would be preferred in cases where a patient has very unique aberrations or when a patient has had prior LASIK surgery.


Before having LASIK surgery ask your surgeon whether he/she will use waverfront LASIK. Generally the answer should be yes. Next ask your surgeon if he/she will use customized or optimized LASIK. The surgeon should explain which one and why.
