CustomVue™ Procedure Provides
Individualized Laser Vision Correction

Laser vision correction can now be tailored to the unique characteristics of your eyes thanks to advanced technology developed by VISX, Incorporated, the worldwide leader in laser vision correction, and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Like a fingerprint, the vision of every eye is unique. The VISX CustomVue™ procedure uses state-of-the-art technology to measure the unique characteristics of your eyes. Based on a sophisticated map of the eye, we can customize a unique correction that is tailor-made to your vision.
By specifically addressing the unique imperfections of your vision, the VISX CustomVue procedure can help you achieve your "personal best vision," without contact lenses or glasses. Results from a clinical study have confirmed the safety and effectiveness of the CustomVue procedure, and demonstrated that it can potentially produce better vision than previously possible with contact lenses or glasses.
At the heart of the CustomVue procedure is the VISX WaveScan® system. The WaveScan is 25 times more precise for measuring visual imperfections than thetechnology commonly used to prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses.
The WaveScan system produces a detailed map of the eye. The digital information is transferred to the STAR S4™ Excimer Laser System. This provides a new level of precision and accuracy for optimizing each patient's vision based on their specific needs.

Optimizing "Your Personal Best Vision"
Using the measurement and correction technologies of the CustomVue procedure, Eye Health Northwest can develop an individualized laser vision correction plan that addresses your individual needs.
The VISX CustomVue procedure utilizes the WaveScan measurement device to map the entire optical path of your eye. The resulting WavePrint® map produces a "fingerprint of your vision," providing your doctor with a precise and detailed guide for how to best improve your vision. This enables us to correct your eyesight so that you get the best possible vision. In many cases, patients see better than 20/20 following a CustomVue treatment.


CustomVue: An FDA-Approved Procedure

The safety and effectiveness of the CustomVue procedure is underscored by the results of a clinical study conducted by VISX, Incorporated for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
According to results from the FDA study, at one year after the procedure, 100 percent of the people whose vision was corrected with the CustomVue procedure could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses. Ninety-eight percent of the people treated with CustomVue had 20/20 or better vision at one year after the procedure, and 70 percent of those people could actually see better than 20/20 - without glasses or contact lenses.
