Topography-guided and wavefront-optimized LASIK are not interchangeable

Topography-guided and wavefront-optimized LASIK are not interchangeable, and the right choice depends on the patient. Wavefront-optimized treatments use the refractive error to help limit induced higher-order aberrations. Topography-guided treatments also incorporate the corneal surface and can be useful when measurable irregularities are present. Dr. John Hovanesian explains how corneal shape, image quality, and treatment range factor into surgical planning.
