CustomVue™ laser vision correction is now FDA approved to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has approved CustomVue treatments, establishing a new standard for the correction of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.

You may have heard CustomVue treatments referred to as "custom LASIK" or "wavefront LASIK." CustomVue treatments use WaveScan® technology, originally developed to reduce distortions in high-powered telescopes, to:

  • Measure imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods.
  • Produce a detailed map of your eye — as unique as your fingerprint.
  • Generate digital information which is transferred directly to the laser used in your procedure, to provide a new level of precision and accuracy.

In addition, the CustomVue procedure uses Iris Registration Technology — the first fully automated method of aligning and registering wavefront corrections for CustomVue treatments. This non-contact method of aligning the treatment to the cornea provides greater alignment accuracy.

With CustomVue treatments, your doctor can measure and correct the unique imperfections in your vision. As shown in FDA clinical studies for treatment of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, the CustomVue procedure can produce better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses.

Is the CustomVue™ Procedure for You?

Treatments are available for a variety of patients, including those with astigmatism, whether the astigmatism is associated with nearsightedness, farsightedness or mixed astigmatism. As a result, more than 92 percent of the U.S. population that requires vision correction, 21 years of age or older, are eligible for this life-altering procedure.

Treatments are now available for people with:

  • myopia (nearsightedness)
  • myopia with astigmatism
  • hyperopia (farsightedness)
  • hyperopia with astigmatism
  • mixed astigmatism

People with "mixed" or "irregular" astigmatism have vision that is often difficult to correct with eyeglasses or contact lenses. As shown in an FDA clinical study, with CustomVue treatment these individuals now have the potential to achieve better vision than is possible with glasses or contacts. CustomVue treatment offers the broadest range of wavefront-guided treatments available.
