of patients’ vision problems makes treatment of these more difficult eyesight problems much more feasible.
In fact, the results of CustomVue LASIK procedures on those with extreme farsightedness are so promising that many ophthalmologists now recommend this specific procedure for any candidate with farsightedness with or without astigmatism and those with hyperopia.
With recent FDA approval, CustomVue LASIK ahs become the only wavefront guided laser corrective approved for treating hyperopia in the United States.
"VISX's new CustomVue Hyperopia procedure is a significant step forward in the treatment of farsightedness. The overall quality of vision with this new procedure is so superior that I plan to treat all of my qualified patients with CustomVue Hyperopia", says Colman Fraff, M.D. and principal VISX investigator for multi-center clinical studies.
In a limited number of cases the CustomVue LASIK procedure may cause a loss of BSCVA or best spectacle corrected visual acuity. What this means is that a person who can be corrected to 20/20 vision with eyeglasses may have slightly less clear vision after CustomVue LASIK surgery that will not be treatable with corrective lenses.
