If the surface of the eye were completely smooth, standard Lasik measurements would yield the best possible result. However, the surface of each eye is unique, containing minute topographic variations that affect vision in very subtle ways. Standard of Lasik measurements do not detect these variations. The custom Lasik surgery uses 3-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser in re-shaping the front part of the cornea. Rather than simply being programmed to correct nearsightedness as in conventional Lasik, the excimer laser is programmed to deliver a much more complex ablation pattern in custom Lasik surgery to reduce or eliminate higher-order aberrations as well as traditional refractive errors.
