“At ViewPoint, CustomVue™ has become the cornerstone of our practice. It’s taking laser vision correction to a new level,” says Donald N. Serafano, MD.

“The FDA has approved VISX CustomVue as safe and effective, establishing a new standard in laser vision correction.  As shown in the FDA clinical study, with the CustomVue procedure we can potentially produce better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses.

How? CustomVue uses WaveScan® technology, originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes, to measure the unique imperfections in your vision; imperfections that couldn’t be measured before.  In fact, WaveScan measurements are 25 times more precise than standard measurements used for glasses and contact lenses.

WaveScan produces a sophisticated map of your vision.  Life your fingerprint, it’s one of a kind.

Once you eyes are measured and mapped, your treatment information is transferred to the laser. The CustomVue procedure tailors a distinct correction for each individual. In fact, each treatment is “designed” by the unique characteristics of the individual’s eye.

“This provides us with a precise and detailed guide for customizing your laser procedure based on your personal needs,” says Dr. Serafano.

With CustomVue, nearsighted and farsighted people, even those with astigmatism, can potentially achieve a new level of vision Personal Best Vision.

Glasses and contact lenses are limited in their ability to personalize their correction.  In fact, thousands of individuals have the same glasses prescription.  With CustomVue, Dr. Serafano is able to develop a treatment plan tailored especially for that person’s visual needs.
