Custom Vue

The Fingerprint of Your Vision.

Your vision is unique - as personal as your fingerprint or your DNA. WaveScan® technology provides Dr. Gordon with a map of your vision.

WaveScan Technology

Initially you will meet with Dr. Gordon for a complete medical evaluation and eye history to determine whether you are a good candidate for the CustomVue procedure. Dr. Gordon will discuss the benefits and risks of the procedure with you. A WaveScan measurement will be taken to map the unique characteristics of your vision. With this map, Dr. Gordon will be able to accurately assess whether you're a good candidate for laser vision correction. Anyone who is considering laser vision correction should obtain a WaveScan measurement as the first step. Along with the other diagnostic tests that Dr. Gordon performs, an individualized treatment plan can then be developed to address your unique vision needs. Once it is confirmed that you are a good candidate, Dr. Gordon will schedule you for a CustomVue procedure. Dr. Gordon will provide details to you on how to prepare for the day of the procedure.

PreVue® Lens

If Dr. Gordon feels it is beneficial, he may choose to provide you with a PreVue Lens during the consultation. The PreVue Lens enables you to "preview" your potential vision before the CustomVue procedure. Dr. Gordon will place a plastic lens under the laser. Using the information from the WaveScan, your unique correction will be placed on the lens. The lens is then fitted in a trial frame so that you can see your potential visual results. If a PreVue Lens is used in this evaluation, your vision through the PreVue lens is not meant to be predictive of the end result that you might achieve.

The CustomVue Procedure

On procedure day, you will be seated in a reclined position. Anesthetic drops will be placed in your eyes and a flap will be created on your cornea. Your individualized treatment information is transferred from the WaveScan to the laser in order to drive the CustomVue procedure. The actual laser procedure typically takes several seconds. The majority of individuals feel no pain during the procedure.

After CustomVue, you will notice results immediately, and your vision will continue to improve over the next few days. You will be scheduled for a follow-up visit the next day, and again several weeks after the initial procedure.

Advanced CustomVue Procedure

Registration + Resolution

AMO offers the first treatment with FDA-approved automated Iris Registration (IR), a non-contact method for aligning and registering the Advanced CustomVueTM procedure. IR correctly centers and aligns the treatment, independently of pupil center migration, as well as compensates for cyclotorsional movement, providing a more precise ablation placement. With IR, you can instantly re-register treatment when necessary. By enabling much more accurate alignment, IR gives you the confidence that the treatment you deliver will be safe, effective and accurate.

Additional Benefits

  • Reduces the impact of pupil centroid shift.
  • Compensates for cyclotorsional movement.
  • Eliminates the time needed for manual marking.
  • Accommodates all wavefront guided laser vision correction procedures.
  • Leverages multiple matching reference points for each iris.
