However, with wavefront guidance, the profile of the cornea is maintained as an aspheric shape that is steeper centrally than peripherally. This type of “prolate” shape is optimal for high definition clarity because it reduces unwanted optical distortions such as spherical aberration. The result is sharper vision and superior night vision without unwelcome optical side effects.
When it comes to vision, and perhaps a few other attributes as well, most people would rather be like an eagle than a frog. That’s why wavefront guided treatments seek to emulate eagle vision. Compared to older traditional techniques, today’s wavefront guided treatments are kind of like comparing high definition television to standard television broadcasts. The difference can be astounding.
