LASIK Surgery Options – Dr. Paul Cutarelli Explains

Dr. Paul Cutarelli feels it is of vital interest to his patients to be well informed about LASIK before making the commitment. Today’s refractive surgery options for vision correction range from corneal reshaping with lasers to surgical insertion of artificial lenses. Dr. Cutarelli offers information here on some of the alternative refractive surgery procedures to LASIK.

Advantages of Wavefront-Guided LASIK

Before surgery, Dr. Paul Cutarelli programs the excimer laser with each patient’s wavefront data to prepare it to perform a very precise “sculpting” of each uniquely individual cornea. In conventional LASIK, this programming is based on the the same prescription as used for the patient’s glasses or contacts.

In wavefront-guided LASIK, Dr. Paul Cutarelli utilizes computer imaging technology to create a very detailed three-dimensional “map” of the patient’s cornea that looks a bit like a miniature mountain range. Dr. Cutarelli uses this “map” to program the excimer laser for LASIK surgery. He uses wavefront technology ton measure very subtle abnormalities in the surface of the patient’s cornea, enabling him to achieve vision correction beyond what is possible with glasses or conventional LASIK.

Dr. Paul Cutarelli explains further that wavefront LASIK has been shown in several studies to reduce side effects, such as problems with night vision and contrast sensitivity – the ability to clearly see objects against a background, such as black letters on a white page. Dr. Cutarelli mentions the percentage increase of patients who achieve 20/20 vision.
