Customized corneal ablation : the quest for super vision

An introduction to treating refractive errors with a sophisticated technology - the use of computerized corneal topography and wave front sensing. Using these techniques, many scientists believe that vision can be improved to even the 20/8 level, which is three to four lines better than 20/20 on the visual acuity chart. This type of super or hyper vision is possible with newer laser techniques using wavefront aberration testing coupled with customized spot excimer laser treatments.
