Ride the Wave to Better Vision with CustomVue™ Advanced LASIK!

Castleman Eye Center is excited to offer patients the opportunity to see better than ever before. That’s right. With CustomVue™ Advanced LASIK, using WaveScan technology, individuals have the potential to see even better than 20/20. In fact, one (1) year after the CustomVue™ procedure, 70% of the participants saw 20/16 or better! (20/16 is higher quality vision than 20/20)

Computer Driven Laser Vision Correction

CustomVue™ Advanced LASIK uses WaveScan technology that was originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes that reduced distortions when viewing distant objects in space. This technology has now been applied to laser vision correction. It captures unique imperfections in each individual’s vision that could not have been measured before, using standard methods. This new level of measurement provides 25 times more precision than standard measurements for glasses or contacts.

WaveScan technology drives the CustomVue™ procedure using advanced technology to measure and correct unique imperfections in an individual’s eyes. Best of all, patients will notice results immediately and vision will continue to improve over the next few days.

Personal Best Vision

With CustomVue™ Advanced LASIK, individuals that are nearsighted or have astigmatism can achieve a new level of vision never before obtainable by previous technology; this is what we call your Personal Best Vision.

Glasses and contacts are limited in their ability to correct subtle distorting imperfections in each individual’s vision. In fact, thousands of people have the same prescription but with CustomVue™, no two “prescriptions” are identical. This advancement in laser technology enables us to achieve the full potential of each individual’s vision; hence the name Personal Best Vision.

A New Level of Excellence Impossible with Glasses or Contacts

At 1 year after the CustomVue™ Advanced LASIK procedure:

  • 100% of the participants could pass a driving test without glasses or
    contacts.
  • 98% of the participants could see 20/20 or better without glasses or contacts.
  • 70% of the participants could see 20/16 or better without glasses or
    contacts.
  • Four times as many participants were very satisfied with their night
    vision compared to their night vision with glasses or contacts.

By offering CustomVue™ Advanced LASIK, we can provide better vision than is possible with glasses or contacts.

Flex Plans

A Flex Plan (FP) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a benefit package option developed to provide you with flexibility and choice for healthcare including vision correction. Unlike your traditional medical benefits package, these plans are set up by your employer and they are tax sheltered. Each pay period, your FP or FSA dollars are withdrawn from your paycheck before taxes, which allows you and your dependents to use your health expense money without being taxed on it.
