Customized LASIK: Corneal Topography and Wavefront Analysis
Professor Thomas Neuhann and Dr. Markus Bauer have been continually active
in the development and improvement of the LASIK procedure since its introduction
in 1991.
The term LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) has become a common name
for a variety of ablation systems, based on different diagnostic procedures
and used to correct different vision problems.
| Standard
LASIK |
|
In the standard LASIK procedure, the targeted change in the refractive
power of the cornea is based on subjective refraction - a determination
of the refractive error by the patient’s choice of corrective
lenses during the pre-operative eye examination. More...

| Topolink-LASIK
or Customized Ablation |
|
This LASIK procedure the targeted change is based on a combination
of subjective refraction and a topographic image of the corneal
surface. The goal is to optimize visual correction by eliminating
corneal irregularities. More...

| Wavefront
LASIK |
A Wavefront or Aberrometer-guided LASIK procedure aims to correct
the combined refractive error resulting from the optical system
of the eye as a whole: the cornea, the lens and the vitreous body.

Whether you are having the Standard, Topolink or Wavefront LASIK for
vision correction (second step), you still can choose how the corneal
flap is prepared (first step): with a computer-guided infrared laser (femtosecond
laser) or a hand-held microkeratome. More...
We will always suggest the method which best suites your needs.
