Blade-Free Wavefront Laser Vision Correction

Expect the Best at LaserVue Eye Center

Drs. Bansal, Singh, and Boghossian at LaserVue strive to offer the most advanced laser eye surgery technology to our patients in the San Francisco, South Bay, San Jose, Oakland East Bay, and Santa Rosa offices.

Our LASIK eye surgery specialists have performed over 20,000 LASIK procedures. Hundreds of doctors, surgeons, and other health care workers have trusted their eyes to our laser vision correction team based around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Drs. Singh and Boghossian have each had laser vision correction themselves.  Both now enjoy 20/20 vision without glasses or contacts. Many of our staff at LaserVue have also had laser vision correction. Come see why so many health care professionals, lawyers, pilots, athletes, business professionals, and others just like you choose LaserVue Eye Center!

Our doctors have helped train many local LASIK surgeons, and co-managing doctors through proctoring, lectures, and articles. These doctors have chosen our laser vision correction team for their own LASIK as well as that of their families and staff.

The Multiple LASER Advantage at LaserVue

Be aware of the new laser technology available to you. Most of the lasers do a fine job and the biggest factor in the surgical outcome is the surgical team's actual surgical skill. But there are significant differences in the lasers that one should not overlook. Some lasers give a smoother corneal surface and have an eye-tracking device that better guarantees that the laser treatment is properly centered and focused, and some lasers do not. The Wavefront LASIK specialists at LaserVue have chosen the Visx Star S4 & Allegretto Wave excimer lasers exclusively with which to perform laser vision correction. The Visx Star S4 & Allegretto Wave lasers feature eye tracking and auto-centering. These are among the few FDA-approved lasers with auto-centering, in which the laser treatment is centered upon the eye’s pupil via computer-guided infrared cameras—versus manually in many other laser systems.

At LaserVue Eye Center, we are proud to have received the first Visx S4 laser in United States, the first Allegretto Wave & Intralase FS 60 in the San Francisco Bay Area. LaserVue Eye Center is among a very few facilities in the Bay area where multiple lasers are available, so our LASIK specialists can truly customize the right laser for your individual vision correction.

When you put something as important as your eyesight in someone else's hands, do you want your doctor to use good equipment or the best equipment?

Advanced CustomVue Laser Vision Correction: The Most Advanced Custom Wavefront-Guided Treatment Available

The Advanced CustomVue procedure represents the next generation of laser vision correction. Combining the technologies of the WaveScan WaveFront System and the VISX STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser, the Advanced CustomVue procedure is now a potentially superior vision correction alternative to glasses and contact lenses. Clinical studies have shown that 91 percent of all patients treated were as satisfied or more satisfied with their vision after the Advanced CustomVue procedure than they were before the procedure with glasses or contact lenses. Clinical studies also showed high participant satisfaction with night vision after the Advanced CustomVue procedure.

Wavefront-guided Advanced CustomVue™ treatment tailors a distinct correction for each individual eye and its unique imperfections. As demonstrated in clinical trials, the Advanced CustomVue procedure can potentially produce better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses. Notable Outcomes:During clinical trials for FDA approval, participants undergoing Advanced CustomVue treatment for all indications achieved the following outcomes:

• More than 95 percent of all clinical study participants could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses one year after treatment.
• Almost three quarters of all clinical study participants could see 20/20 or better without glasses or contact lenses one year after treatment.
• Clinical study results showed high participant satisfaction with night vision after the VISX™ Advanced CustomVue procedure compared to night vision before with glasses or contact lenses.

WaveFront technology

The Fingerprint Of Your Vision™

Your vision is unique—as personal as your fingerprint or your DNA. Wavefront mapping of your eyes provides LaserVue doctors information on more than just the corneal surface of your eye. It reveals the way your entire optical system processes light. The Wavefront  Map provides a new level of diagnostic information previously unavailable to the doctor.

Using this information, the doctors at LaserVue can:

• Accurately assess whether you're a good candidate for laser vision correction. Anyone who is considering laser vision correction should obtain a Wavefront Map as the first step.
• Along with the other diagnostic tests that LaserVue doctors perform, a personalized treatment plan can then be developed to address your unique vision needs.

The Wavefront Map: from the cosmos to LaserVue Eye Center office's

The Wavefront Map is derived from technology first developed to correct distortions of light waves from space. This allowed researchers to accurately view images of stars and planets. The Wavefront Map uses the same technology to measure light waves as they travel through your eye. This technology provides a precise and more detailed analysis of your vision.

VISX Excimer Laser System features:

VISX laser systems produce smoother ablations on the surface of the cornea after the procedure; promoting faster healing and result in better vision.

VISX laser systems allow the doctor to track your eye movement in all three dimensions during the treatment, for greater control.

VISX laser systems achieve an optical zone that may result in reduced problems with night vision.

VISX ActiveTrak™ laser systems produce seven variable-sized beams, giving the doctor greater flexibility and allowing for a faster, smoother treatment with precise corneal shaping.

VISX laser systems require a shorter procedure time, which enhances comfort and may reduce the risk of postoperative complications.

These features aren't the only reasons why the surgeons at LaserVue have chosen VISX laser systems. Their exclusive focus on laser vision correction technology, combined with a history of excellence in design and rigorous FDA approvals, result in a clinical experience and knowledge that is unmatched in the industry. And if that isn't enough, ask one of our over-two million patients, including eye care professionals and their staff, who have undergone successful procedures with VISX laser systems.

Safety and Precision

ALLEGRETTO WAVE ^® laser systems apply PerfectPulse Technology^® to help ensure safe and precise work at a high speed.PerfectPulse Technology^® simply means that every laser pulse is completely controlled from its generation to the point when it contacts the cornea.Each ultra-thin laser pulse is used to sculpt the corneal surface with the utmost precision.In order to further enhance the precision of the treatment, PerfectPulse Technology^® uses advanced high-speed eye-tracking to follow the eye’s fastest movements and to help ensure an accurate placement of each laser pulse on the cornea.During the treatment, the energy stability of every pulse is controlled to ensure that each laser pulse creates the same accurate result.

In the ALLEGRETTO WAVE^® Excimer Laser clinical trials conducted in the U.S., for instance, some patients reported that their night-driving glare had improved after the treatment.*

*Refer to product labeling

The ALLEGRETTO WAVE^® Excimer Laser works with a pulse frequency of 200 Hz. This results in a correction time of only 4 seconds per diopter (considering a fully corrected optical zone of 6.5 mm).The rapid repetition rate may result in more comfort for our patients and a minimization of external influences.

Wavefront Optimized^® Ablation Profiles > Excellent Visual Acuity

WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE^® lasers customize every treatment to the patient’s individual prescription and cornea while aiming to improve what nature originally designed.  The proprietary Wavefront Optimized^® treatment considers the unique curvature of the eye, preserving quality of vision and addressing the spherical distortions that may induce glare and affect night vision.

The Principle Behind Wavefront Optimized^® Treatments The natural shape of the human cornea is aspheric. This means that all light rays meet in one sharp focus point. Therefore, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE^® laser system performs an ablation with the objective to maintain a natural postoperative corneal shape and thus to preserve the cornea's aspheric shape.LaserVue Eye Center is proud to introduce the most advanced options in laser vision correction today. Our premium, no compromise approach has led us to choose the these laser technologies. Every treatment is customized to the patient's individual refraction and corneal curvature by LaserVue Eye Center doctors.

*Not all patients are candidates for LASIK. Candidacy must be determined by a medical professional. Risks, side-effects, and realistic expectations will be discussed during your exam prior to LASIK.
