LASIK Wavefront Measurement for the Excimer Laser

A targeted beam of light is sent through your eye and focused on the retina. As the wave of light rays are reflected back from the retina through the eyes vitreous, lens, pupil and cornea a sensor measures the irregularities in the wavefront pattern of light as it emerges from your eye. Using this measurement the wavefront computer is able to create an accurate three dimensional map of your eyes visual system, including specific imperfections in the cornea. This wavefront data is used to program the excimer laser allowing your Colorado Springs eye doctor to customize the reshaping of your cornea.
