PreVue® Lens

 PreVue® Your Vision

If you are interested in CustomVue™, you will meet with your eye doctor for a complete medical evaluation and eye history to determine whether you are a good candidate for the CustomVue procedure. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks of the procedure with you, and a WaveScan® measurement will be taken to map the unique characteristics of your vision. With this map, your doctor will be able to:

• Accurately assess whether you're a good candidate for laser vision correction. Anyone who is considering laser vision correction should obtain a WaveScan measurement as the first step.
• Along with the other diagnostic tests that your doctor performs, an individualized treatment plan can then be developed to address your unique vision needs.

If your doctor feels it is beneficial, he or she may choose to provide you with a PreVue Lens during your CustomVue consultation. The PreVue Lens enables you to "preview" your potential vision before the CustomVue procedure. Your doctor will place a plastic lens under the VISX® laser. Using the information from the WaveScan, your unique correction will be placed on the lens. The lens is then fitted in a trial frame so that you can see your potential visual results. If a PreVue Lens is used in your evaluation, your vision through the PreVue lens is not meant to be predictive of the end result that you might achieve.
