On the day of your surgery, the LADARWave 3-D treatment map of your eye is obtained from the best three of five individual maps taken on your eye.  Because every wavefront measurement can only be based on light rays that pass through the pupil, the CustomCornea measurements are taken through a dilated pupil to give the most amount of information.

This information is then transferred to the LADARVision 4000 Excimer laser and using advanced algorithms, a custom treatment is designed for your eye.

Then, the LADARVision 4000 Excimer laser with its LAser raDAR eye tracker, tracks your eye 4000 times per second. Because it is the only closed loop tracking system used in vision correction the treatment containing the aberrations of your eye can be perfectly registered and aligned with the surface of your cornea.

Using the LADARVision's small spot laser with non-sequential delivery, your cornea is reshaped with treatment of both higher and lower order aberrations.
