Your Life. Your Vision.
Your Time for Laser Vision Correction Is Now!CustomVue Houston
The Wait for Better Vision Is Over
The Advanced CustomVue Procedure is ushering in a new era in laser vision correction by giving millions of people — including many who were once told they were not candidates — the opportunity to free themselves from glasses and contact lenses. 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 continued to earn FDA approvals to treat the broadest range of vision imperfections possible, including mild to severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and all types of astigmatism.
An Individualized Treatment
During your personal consultation with your doctor,you’ll learn about the procedure and undergo testing that ensures you are a good candidate to receive the Advanced CustomVue Procedure.
One of the tests you will undergo is a WaveScan System examination, which creates a map of your eyes’ unique imperfections.
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 for a more precise treatment. The one-of-a-kind approach and technical safeguards were designed to allow the Advanced CustomVue Procedure to achieve exceptional visual outcomes.
Your Procedure Day
On the day of the procedure, your doctor will place numbing drops in your eyes. The WaveScan map information that was taken during your previous appointment is then transferred to the STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser.
The laser uses this information to apply a cool laser beam that reshapes your cornea to create a new curvature and correct your vision.
Patients usually experience immediate results, which continue to improve over the next several days. The morning following surgery, patients often wake up with a clearer view of life.
By scheduling your consultation today, you can experience better vision without the hassles of glasses and contact lenses tomorrow.
Outstanding Results
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.
Other notable outcomes for specific indications show:*
• 98 percent of mild to moderate nearsighted patients could see 20/20 or better one year after treatment
• 100 percent of mild to moderate nearsighted patients could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses one year after treatment.
