People undergoing wavefront-optimized laser eye surgery are more likely to see better at night than to experience a worsening of their night vision after the procedure, according to new research conducted at Emory University. Wavefront-optimized LASIK and PRK use a semi-customized excimer laser treatment designed to control a specific type of higher-order aberration called spherical aberration (SA).

Outcomes of LASIK using different laser platforms compared
June 3, 2009Several excimer lasers and ablation (laser treatment) programs are available for refractive surgeons to use to perform LASIK surgery. Recently, Perry S. Binder, MD, a prominent refractive surgeon in San Diego, California, retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of LASIK procedures he performed using several different excimer lasers and ablation algorithms (computerized treatment programs).
