 VISX's Advanced CustomVue with Iris Registration is a very complex and highly intricate system for laser vision correction. As detailed below, there are many components that work together, along with Dr. Skouras, to give you the best vision results possible.
VISX™ Iris Registration
VISX™ Iris Registration technology is the latest improvement in CustomVue LASIK treatments. Iris Registration is a fully automated way to accurately align your eye to the laser and register custom treatment information for your specific LASIK procedure. This sophisticated technology replaces the time-sensitive manual ink marks surgeons used to make on the whites of the eyes, and also allows for flexible, highly accurate re-registration if treatment is paused or the eye moves.
WaveScan™ Technology
WaveScan™ Technology provides Dr. Skouras with a unique map of your eye and allows him to tailor your LASIK procedure to your special vision characteristics. The groundbreaking technology, which can measure imperfections in the eye 25 times more precisely than traditional methods, has the potential to not only improve how much you see, but also how well you can see, in terms of contrast sensitivity and fine details.
WaveScan™ Map
The WaveScan™ Map provides a precise analysis of how your entire optical system operates. With the WaveScan™ Map, Dr. Skouras can gain a complete understanding of your vision correction needs and then develop your personalized laser vision plan. The result is a LASIK treatment plan as unique as your DNA or fingerprint.
3D ActiveTrak™
The exclusive 3D ActiveTrak™ system allows Dr. Skouras to track eye movement in all three dimensions during your procedure. The 3D ActiveTrak™ feature automatically tracks the tiny motions of your eye in all three directions during the laser procedure, adding a new level of precision, comfort and safety to your vision-enhancement treatment.

Taking the Mystery Out of LASIK
The Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK process begins with a consultation to inform you about the procedure and answer any questions you may have about the amazing technologies that comprise Advanced CustomVue LASIK. An evaluation follows to assess your overall eye health and to measure and create a detailed and unique map of your eyes. On the day of the procedure, your unique correction information is transferred directly to the laser.
Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK works by gently reshaping the cornea with the cool beam from the laser to remove microscopic amounts of tissue—less than the thickness of a human hair in most cases—to create a new curvature. The procedure typically takes several seconds and the majority of patients feel no discomfort. Many notice immediate results after their Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedure and vision continues to improve over several days. Routine follow-up visits complete the process.
Clinical Trial Results
Clinical trial participants achieved the following after undergoing the Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedure:
- More than 95% could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses one year after treatment. (100% of the high myopia, or nearsighted, patients could pass a driver's test.)
- Almost three quarters of all study participants could see 20/20 or better without glasses or contact lenses one year after treatment.
- Studies showed high participant satisfaction with night vision after Advanced CustomVue compared to night vision before with glasses or contact lenses.
