Pursuing wavefront laser vision correction is a popular option for those who want to correct their myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The idea of vision correction has been around since the early 1500's. Leonardo da Vinci toyed with the concept, but never pursued it. In 1636, Rene Descartes actually followed through on an offshoot of da Vinci's brainstorm. He filled a glass tube with liquid and placed it directly on the cornea. The other end of the tube protruded from the eye. It was kind of cumbersome and impracticable. Then, both Thomas Young and John Herschel did some pretty phenomenal experiments that advanced vision correction using eye accessories. Though promising, eye surgery was taking a parallel track. Ignacio Barraquer of Bogota, Colombia refined the first proficient refractive surgery. This technique called keratomileusis was the forerunner to wavefront laser vision correction. This is what later developed into Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis or LASIK.
Refractive eye surgery is the foundational procedure used to remodel the cornea. This type of procedure includes a variety of surgical methods. Wavefront LASIK or wavefront-guided LASIK is a procedure that uses a set of 3-dimensional measurements to guide the laser. Wavefront technology is revolutionary in that the potential is far greater than that of regular Lasik procedures. Not only can a person improve how much they are able to see, but how well they are able to see it. Contrast is a real issue with sight; as is fine detail. The wavefront laser vision correction allows the complex vision issues (or higher order aberrations) to be treated along with the basic sight problems. This technology helps to reduce some of the common risks of LASIK complications. Glare, night vision complications, and halos around objects have been experienced by people who have had LASIK vision correction. Since as early as 1898, there has been a passionate pursuit of refractive surgery in order to decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. Lendeer Jans Lans, a Dutch professor of Ophthalmology, published an abstract that presented the basic principles of radial keratotomy. Excimer lasers, in specific, are used to execute the cornea reshaping process.
Though somewhat different from LASIK, wavefront laser vision correction surgery starts with a comprehensive diagram of the path that light takes as it moves through the person's eye. This complex procedure is so sensitive that even the most infinitesimal aberration is detected. Interesting to note is that, although this procedure is technically more accurate than LASIK, the skill of the technician in acquiring accurate data is actually more important than the wavefront laser vision correction procedure itself. When this procedure is properly executed, fewer retreatments are necessary and the visual quality of the patient is vastly improved. Constant advancements have been made in both technique and technology. Consequently, corrections of aberrations that cause myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism are more accurate than ever. "Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter : and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure." (Daniel 2:45)
Heredity plays a part in whether a person has myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Oftentimes these conditions develop in children; myopia or nearsightedness, in particular. As a child grows and develops, the condition usually becomes more prominent. Myopic creep, as it's called, plagues nearly 2% of the population. This condition, however, is not a disease. Hyperopia, the opposite of myopia, is also called farsightedness. Hyperopia affects nearly 25% of the population. This is also not a disease. Eyeballs are like every other body part. Although generally, they are supposed to be round like a ball, aberrations (or anomalies), even tiny one's, make a difference in how a person sees and perceives what they see. The whole idea of having wavefront laser vision correction surgery as an option is to "normalize" the sight of the person. The stationary world does not change. Therefore, it would make sense that each person be able to see and perceive it in the same way. When the visual quality that a person experiences is off kilter, vision correction is available to make the adjustments necessary to bring things into alignment.
The costs of obtaining wavefront laser vision correction is relatively inexpensive when the true value of sight is taken into consideration. The technology literally allows the eye surgeon to take extreme measurements of the corneal aberration, then operate with an exactness that changes the shape of the cornea. There is no price a person can really put on sight. An estimated 85% of what a person's brain processes comes from what they see. Therefore, if the bill for the procedure seems exhorbitant; one must take into consideration what is at stake. The use of wavefront laser vision correction surgery, has helped eye surgeons better measure and actually guide the laser so that the reshaping process is much more accurate. Visual quality is more greatly advanced. Improvements have been achieved in securing 20/20 vision which includes: 1) reducing the chance of glare and night vision issues, 2) improving the probability of keeping visual quality, 3) keeping contrast sensitivity stable, and 4) reducing the visual degradation that is often experienced post Lasik procedure. A person's decision to get this surgery should be taken very seriously in that the one pair of eyes allocated to each person cannot usually be replaced.
