About VISX and CUSTOM VUE
The VISX Laser has been the most widely used laser in the country since the beginning of LASIK surgery. Dr Rashid has been using this progressive technology for many years. It offers his patients a high level of safety and accuracy and also is helpful in that it takes the least amount of corneal tissue per diopter of treatment. This can be very helpful with patients with slightly thin corneas and other difficult prescriptions. It can also be used in conjunction the WaveScan technology to customize procedures by identifying the unique imperfections in an individual’s vision then using this information to treat the eye with the Custom Vue procedure. Dr Rashid will be able to clarify to you, which laser system he recommends for the best results and safety profile based on your exam.
The WavePrint Map

Dr Rashid analyzes a WavePrint Map of every single eye before surgery. WaveScan technology identifies and measures the unique imperfections in an individual’s vision 25 times more precisely than standard methods used for glasses and contact lenses. Dr Rashid performs this test on every eye before surgery to obtain the most accurate information possible.
