What does a WavePrint map look like?

The WavePrint Map is a brightly colored diagram of your vision. The different colors show your doctor how light is moving through your eye -- for example, red shows areas in which light moves quickly, blue shows areas in which light is moving slowly.
 
How is the WavePrint different than other mapping systems?

The WavePrint Map provides information on more than just the surface of your eye. It reveals the way your entire eye processes light. This allows for a more personalized treatment.

Why should I request a WavePrint Map?

The WavePrint Map allows your doctor to accurately assess whether you’re a good candidate for laser vision correction. Anyone who is considering laser vision correction should obtain a WavePrint Map as the first step.

What does this process involve?

The WavePrint System features the VISX S4 laser. This laser includes two exclusive features: Variable Spot Scanning and 3D ActiveTrak technologies, giving the doctor more options to further personalize your treatment.

What is Variable Spot Scanning?

Variable Spot Scanning is an exclusive VISX laser technology that allows a larger treatment area to best accommodate your visual needs.

What is 3D ActiveTrak?

The unique 3D ActiveTrak element means that you no longer have to hold your eye perfectly still, which is a challenge for many patients. Instead, it automatically and instantaneously tracks the minute movements of your eye during the laser treatment.

I have concerns about "night vision". What if my pupil size is very large or very small?
