LASIK Update:
CustomVue WaveScan Technology
The "Fingerprint" of Your Vision

Your vision is unique - as personal as your fingerprint or your DNA. WaveScan technology provides Dr. Breaux with a map of your vision that is utilized during the LASIK procedure and produces superior results.

WaveScan Technology

After scheduling your complimentary LASIK consultation you will meet with Dr. Breaux at his Pinole or Oakland office for a complete medical evaluation and eye history to determine whether you are a good candidate for the CustomVue procedure. He 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. Breaux 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. Breaux and his staff perform, an individualized treatment plan can then be developed to address your unique vision needs. Once it is confirmed that you are a good candidate, we will schedule you for a CustomVue procedure.

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. Most of our Berkeley and Oakland LASIK patients 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. Typically, you will be scheduled for a follow-up visit the next day, again in about a week, and again around a month after the initial procedure.
