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.
