LASIK

Virginia Beach Eye Center is a comprehensive, respected eye care center of excellence serving Southeastern Virginia. We are dedicated to preserving and improving our most precious sense… vision.

Our Laser Vision Correction Procedure

• • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved VISX CustomVue™, establishing a new standard in laser vision correction
• • As demonstrated in the FDA study, this procedure can produce better vision than is possible with glasses and contact lenses
• • Virginia Beach Eye Center’s laser vision correction is WaveScan®-driven, which enables the doctor to measure and correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision
• • With the CustomVue™ procedure, nearsighted, farsighted and astigmatic individuals can potentially achieve a new level of vision.

WaveScan Technology

• • WaveScan® technology was originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space
• • This technology has now been applied to laser vision correction, measuring imperfections in the eye never measured before by standard methods used for glasses and contact lenses
• • This new level of measurement provides 25 times more precision than standard measurements used for glasses and contact lenses
• • WaveScan® technology produces a detailed map of the eye—much like a fingerprint, no two are alike
• • The CustomVue™ procedure tailors a distinct correction for each individual—in fact each treatment is designed by the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes

Beyond and Better Than Glasses and Contact Lenses

• • Glasses and contact lenses are limited in their ability to correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision. In fact, thousands of individuals have the same prescription. With the CustomVue™ procedure, no two prescriptions are identical.
• • This precise level of measurement and correction can enable individuals to achieve the full potential of their vision—a new level of excellence impossible with glasses or contact lenses.

Safety and Visual Quality Results

• • Four times as many people were very satisfied with their night vision after the CustomVue™ procedure, compared to their night vision before with glasses or contact lenses
• • One year after the VISX CustomVue™ procedure:
  • — 100 percent of people could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses
  • — 98 percent of people could see 20/20 or better without glasses or contact lenses
  • — 70 percent of people could see better than 20/20 without glasses or contact lenses
