Wavefront LASIK

Wavefront LASIK is the latest advancement to the already outstanding LASIK program at Gabriele Eye Institute. Over 99% of LASIK patients at Gabriele Eye Institute see 20/30 or better unaided after their first procedure and 96% see 20/20 or better. Wavefront imaging will allow Dr. Philip Gabriele to treat those patients with more complex focusing problems who till this point have been unable to enjoy the benefits of refractive surgery.

Custom LASIK

Once the wavefront data has been documented for an individual patient, the next step is to use this information to utilize the excimer laser to correct the higher-order visual aberrations. The surgeon can then determine what adjustments must be made to the corneal surface to produce a clear, crisp image for the unique individual needs of each patient. The use of wavefront technology to provide a more precise laser vision correction is known as, "Custom LASIK" or "Wavefront-Driven LASIK". Early data suggests that the 5-10 percent of patients who demonstrate higher-order aberrations are the patients that will significantly benefit from Custom LASIK treatments. Other patients may benefit from Custom LASIK to a smaller degree.
