(Q) What is the Wavefront 400Hz, technology?
(A) This is the world's most advanced technology for customised laser corrections and is equipped with a completely computer-controlled laser. This provides the patients the highest level of safety, accuracy and reliability available in laser technology. It is also fully customised to the individual patient's eye. Moreover, it has the most sensitive eye tracker in the world to ensure accurate treatment with absolutely no side effects or possibilities of errors. As of now, we have it in Mumbai, but we have many patients from Pune accessing it.

(Q) What is LASIK Method?
(A) LASIK is a method of reshaping the external surface of the eye (the cornea) to correct low, moderate and high degrees of near-sightedness, astigmatism and far-sightedness. This complete eye assessment is required to check the patient's suitability for LASIK. Tests include refraction, contrast sensitivity, pupil size, pupil reaction, retinal examination, tonometry and pachymetry. Other specialised treatments under the Wavefront technology include the aberrometry, topolyzer measurements, topography and tests for dry eye among others.

(Q) How does the technology function?
(A) The Wavefront 400Hz technology maps a pupil-sized part of the cornea at 168 individual points through a unique aberrometer. This mapping helps identify the corrections required to compensate for the refractive problems at each of the 168 points of the eye. The cornea is than treated at each of these points by small area laser beams to compensate for the correction making treatment completely error free.
