Wavefront technology was originally developed in the field of astronomy as an aid in reducing the distortions and imperfections (aberrations) in the multiple lenses of telescopes. In much the same way, Drs Soloway and Starr use the Tracey Visual function analyzer and the Alcon LADARWave to provide an accurate assessment of the optical imperfections found in the entire eye's optical system..

Dr Soloway, through Vista Alliance and The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary was the first surgeon in the Northeast to offer CustomCornea utilizing LADARWaveTM wavefront technology to measure and treat both lower and higher order aberrations (visual imperfections in the eye's optical system). Unless both lower and higher order aberrations are treated during laser vision correction, the quality of your vision may not be ideal, even if you have post-operative vision of 20/20

Here is how this exciting technology works:

Flat light wave enters the eye

Distorted light wave exits the eye

First, flat waves of light are passed through your eye using a computerized wavefront measuring device (WMD) such as the diagnostic Tracey Visual Function Analyzer with Wavemap technology or Alcon's  therapeutic LADARWaveTM.  As light waves travel through your eye's optical system, the imperfections in the eye distort the flat light waves.    These distorted waves of light are then analyzed as they exit your eye and compared to a perfectly flat light wave that would have been reflected if your eye's optical system had no distortions.

Higher order aberration

Ideal wavefront map

Next a 3D map is generated representing your unique visual distortions, including both lower and higher order aberrations. This map is then transferred to the LADARVision 4000 Excimer laser, and it guides the laser as it reshapes your cornea to provide you with a truly customized laser vision correction surgery called CustomCornea.
