What is Wavefront Optimized Lasik?
Wavefront Lasik is a more in-depth version of the Lasik treatment. The technology involves sending light into the eye in a specific pattern and then measuring it as it passes through the visual system. Changes in the pattern are a result of aberrations in the eye. Your doctor can best tell you if the Wavefront Lasik treatment is right for your eyes.
What’s the difference between regular Lasik and All-Laser Lasik?
The only difference is in the way the cornea flap is created. All-Laser Lasik is bladeless, and uses a laser to create the flap whereas regular Lasik uses a microkeratome. The benefit of All-Laser Lasik is more precise cornea flaps and a reduced risk of experiencing dry eyes after the operation.

Activities such as swimming in pools or hot tubs, playing racquet sports and going to tanning beds should be avoided for one week as well.
