Your Wait Is Over – Treatment For All Forms of Astigmatism Can
Be Treated At Brems Eye Center
Now, people with all forms of astigmatism are potentially eligible to
have laser vision correction. The CustomVue™ procedure, provides a revolutionary
method of treating all forms of astigmatism. “The technology allows
me to treat patients with a variety of astigmatic conditions, whether
the astigmatism is associated with nearsightedness, farsightedness,
or mixed astigmatism.” says Dr. Brems. Now, more than 94 percent of
the eligible population are potential candidates for the CustomVue procedure.
Astigmatism is a common vision problem. Usually, it is caused by an
irregularly shaped cornea. Sometimes it’s the result of an irregularly
shaped lens.
Normal eyes are spherical, or shaped like a baseball, and
astigmatic eyes are more oblong, like a football. When the eye is shaped
like a football, the cornea has a steeper and a flatter curve and causes
light rays to focus on two points in the back of the eye instead of just
one. The CustomVue procedure treats all forms of astigmatism by changing
the shape of the cornea with a laser. Patients with astigmatism can now
experience potentially better vision than they can achieve with either
glasses or contacts lenses.
“This is an exciting advancement in the CustomVue procedure,” says Dr. Brems. “Significantly
more clinical study patients reported a high level of satisfaction with their
night vision after this treatment for correcting all forms of astigmatism than
before with glasses or contact lenses.”
Find Out How CustomVue Can Treat all Forms of Astigmatism
At Brems Eye Center, we pride ourselves in the quality of our patient
education. At your initial consultation, you’ll have opportunities
to meet the staff and to ask them questions. You’ll also learn
about the various forms of astigmatism and how the CustomVue procedure
can be used by our doctor to tailor an individualized treatment just
for you. During the consultation, Dr. Brems will determine if you are
a good candidate for the CustomVue procedure. The WaveScan™ test
is a part of the evaluation that is done. It captures unique imperfections
in each individual’s vision and provides 25-times more precision
than standard measurements for glasses or contact lenses.
WaveScan technology
produces a detailed map of the eye—much like a fingerprint. No
two maps are alike—in fact, each treatment is tailored to the
unique imperfections of the individual’s eye.
“If the patient
is found to be a good candidate,” says Dr. Brems, “the WaveScan
information is used to design an individualized treatment that is then
transferred to the laser. This provides a new level of precision and
accuracy, and potentially better results.” If you have astigmatism
in any form, there’s never been a better time to receive laser
vision correction.
