Wavefront-Optimized LASIK
Wavelight's claims that its Wavefront-optimized ablations could preserve the natural aspheric shape of the cornea much better compared to standard LASIK. This procedure is currently approved by FDA for treating the following refractive errors:
Wavefront-Guided LASIK (Custom LASIK) vs. Wavefront-Optimized LASIK While Wavefront-Guided LASIK may benefit some patients, results from new study done by FDA show that there are no significant difference between the outcomes of treatment performed using Wavefront-Guided LASIK and Wavefront-Optimized LASIK. The study was designed to directly compare the two approaches using the Allegretto laser. Results show that Wavefront-Optimized LASIK gives excellent result in correcting spherical aberration, without affecting the higher order aberrations.

Wavefront-optimized LASIK is
a standard LASIK procedure performed using Wavelight's
Allegretto Wave Eye-Q laser, which is four times faster than
conventional excimer lasers. It is also based on phoropter
refraction. This new Eye-Q laser has been found to
reduce the complications such as glare,
halos, and other night vision problems which can
happen with conventional LASIK treatments.
