Incorporating laser cataract surgery into my practice was a very difficult—yet correct—decision. By A. James Khodabakhsh, MD; Michael C. Knorz, MD; and Vance Thompson, MD

Custom LASIK surgery, also known as wavefront LASIK or wavefront-guided LASIK, uses 3-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser in re-shaping the front part of the eye (cornea).

A cataract is a clouding of the normally-clear lens in your eye. Though painless, cataracts can blur your vision by restricting the amount of light that enters your eye. In addition to hazy vision, indications of cataracts include unusual glare, poor night vision, and a change in how your eyes perceive colors.
