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.
