What is custom LASIK and is it better than traditional LASIK?

Okay, so we all know that eye corrective surgery is called LASIK surgery, which permits people who have eye problems to correct their vision, thereby eliminating the need to wear eyeglasses. But now we also have custom LASIK surgery and it may be hard to determine what the difference between custom and traditional LASIK is. Let’s answer the question many have: What is custom LASIK and why is it better than traditional LASIK? We know that LASIK surgery is now much more popular and this is because it is now much less costly, quicker, and much safer than it ever has been before. Traditional LASIK surgery involves using lasers in the re-shaping and reforming the damaged cornea. This reforming of the cornea repairs the vision and helps patients avoid using eyeglasses for many years, if not for the rest of their life. Another benefit is that depending on the type of LASIK surgery you have done, the recovery time can be minimal, taking even as little as a day for a patient to resume his every day activities. LASIK surgery works for people that have myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia, which is one of the conditions that affect most people who have eye problems. LASIK surgery has been around for about 10 years and because of that, some surgeons have specialized, and perform the procedure using more advanced specialized equipment. This process is known as custom LASIK, or Wavefront-guided LASIK. In this process three dimensional measurements are used which help the surgeon see the way the patients eyes view images, therefore he can guide the laser in a better way, in the reshaping of the cornea. This process is much more precise than traditional LASIK methods. It is also much more individualized. Some physicians find that the custom LASIK method can even be used on patients that would be ineligible for traditional LASIK methods. Custom LASIK surgery is not only effective, but it improves the depth and quality of the vision and in some cases corrects more than one visual problem. The best person to determine whether a person should undergo traditional LASIK or custom LASIK surgery is a LASIK surgeon. But as a patient, most people want to be sure that the method being suggested is correct, so it is always best to get more than one diagnosis, from reliable and reputable eye surgeons.
