Wavefront
The Wavefront technology is intended for patients with optical aberrations – visual disturbances and distortions such as auras and glares, which are difficult to measure. Using the Wavefront technology, it is possible to track down aberrations within the eye – send light rays into the eyes, detect their reflections, and draw conclusions regarding the visual distortions the patient has.

כל המידע על Wavefront
What is the Wavefront technology?
Wavefront is an advanced technology for laser vision correction surgery, aiding in corneal remodeling for patients with visual distortions
How does the Wavefront system work?
The Wavefront system enables a kind of optical “fingerprint” of the patient. The technology creates an image of the aberrations within the eye, sending light rays into the eye and receiving their return. This allows for determining the vision distortions that the patient has.
The computerized data in the Wavefront system is received in coordination with the scan performed during the suitability test, and is then transferred to the laser system during the surgical procedure.
Wavefront technology is integrated into the second stage of laser vision correction surgeries, including IntraLASIK and LASEK – PRK. In this stage, the laser beam reshapes the cornea with personalized precision to the patient’s eye.
Using data received from the Wavefront system, vision distortions can be corrected during the surgery in addition to correcting the prescription, ensuring that the patient will have more precise and better results.
What are the advantages of combining the Wavefront system in laser surgery?
People with optical aberrations will benefit from more precise corneal correction, optimal visual acuity, and improved vision quality.
