Many have achieved their personal best vision without the hassles of glasses or contact lenses. MALE VOICE 2: It seems like I get to do more now than before. When we run the quads, I don't have to worry about dust getting in my eyes and dislodging my contact lenses. FEMALE VOICE 1: I was a little worried about the risks that might come with the surgery. After speaking with the doctor, he made me a little bit more at ease, and he made me very, very confident that everything would turn out okay. MALE VOICE 1: If you've been considering laser vision correction, we have exciting news for you.

That means more than 94% of the eligible population may potentially benefit from the Advanced CustomVue procedure. Chances are you can achieve your personal best vision with Advanced CustomVue. FEMALE VOICE 2: Because I have astigmatism I didn't realize that I was a candidate for LASIK eye surgery. MALE VOICE 1: The Advanced CustomVue individualized laser vision correction procedure from AMO is on the forefront of precision vision correction. FDA approved, - - wavefront technology provides unprecedented resolution for extensive individualized treatment possibilities. The measurements from the WaveScan are used to design and individualized laser treatment for each person's unique visual needs. Clinical studies presented to the FDA show that the Advanced CustomVue procedure can potentially produce better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses. FEMALE VOICE 3: I would not be able to drive my car if something happened and I could not wear my contacts or my glasses. My vision was so bad. Swimming with my kids was a pain. I couldn't really see them as well. So now that I had it done I dive in the pool. I do cannonballs with my kids. They really, they love it. MALE VOICE 3: Yeah, I researched the CustomVue procedure. I talked to a lot of friends that have had the procedure and they were vey happy with it. It was effortless, painless. MALE VOICE 1: To understand how the Advanced CustomVue procedure can help you, let's take a look at how the human eye works. Everything you see around you reflects light into your eyes. Light enters the eyes through the clear, dome shaped cornea, passes through the pupil and through the lens of the eye. The lens projects it as a clear image onto the specialized nerve cells of the retina. These cells convert the light to electrical signals. The optic nerve sends these signals to the brain, which interprets them as vision. For people who are nearsighted or myopic, the cornea is too steeply curved. This causes the light rays to focus in front of the retina, resulting in blurred vision. The clinical studies submitted to the FDA showed that one year after their procedure, 98% of Advanced CustomVue myopia procedure patients could see 20/20 or better without using glasses or contact lenses. For people who are farsighted or hyperopic, the cornea is too flat. This causes the light rays to focus in back of the retina, also resulting in blurred vision. Astigmatism is a common vision problem. The normal cornea is round like a basketball. When there's astigmatism, the cornea is shaped more like a football, causing distortion in the eye's vision. Now, the good news, the Advanced CustomVue procedure is FDA approved to correct all these conditions. A clinical study submitted to the FDA showed that over four times as many participants were more satisfied with their night vision after the Advanced CustomVue hyperopia procedure than they were before with glasses and contact lenses. The Advanced CustomVue procedure for astigmatism is the first FDA approved wavefront guided treatment for astigmatism even when it's associated with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or mixed astigmatism. FEMALE VOICE 2: This procedure has completely changed my life. I teach dance in the evenings to children, and now I can look across the room in ballet and see that the kids are in their perfect position without having to adjust them or squint my eyes or have to pull my glasses out to make sure. It's just been amazing. FEMALE VOICE 4: Well, I play soccer, and one of the problems I had with wearing glasses was that my glasses would get foggy, and then they would get sweaty. And sometimes they would get knocked off. Now that I had the CustomVue procedure and I don't have to wear my glasses anymore, I don't have the fear that they're going to slide off or somebody's going to kick them off and I'm a lot freer. I can play better, and I'm a lot happier. MALE VOICE 1: Advanced CustomVue treatments use WaveScan technology to produce a detailed map of your eye, a map as unique as your fingerprint. The WaveScan system measures the imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods used for glasses or contact lenses. This information is transferred to the laser to provide a superior level of precision and accuracy. For more than 10 years VISX technology lasers have been the world standard for laser vision correction procedures. More doctors in the United States use VISX lasers to perform laser vision correction surgery than any other system. During the procedure the surgeon first created a flap on the eye. The doctor then directs the laser's cool ultraviolet beam onto the exposed cornea, treating the unique imperfections in the eye. Then the flap is placed back in position. The Advanced CustomVue procedure features the exclusive FDA approved VISX iris registration technology, the first fully automated method of aligning and registering wavefront guided corrections for Advanced CustomVue treatments. VISX technology follows the tiniest motion of the eye instantaneously and in all three dimensions providing the physician with a continuously accurate placement. MALE VOICE 3: You know, when I got up out of the chair, I saw the clock on the wall. I could read the time, and it was just great. I couldn't be more excited. FEMALE VOICE 2: Putting on my make-up now after the CustomVue procedure is completely different. I don't have to fumble, putting on glasses, trying to get my eye shadow just right. I can see so clearly. I can see every fine little, little hair, every eyelash. It's just unbelievable. MALE VOICE 1: What are you waiting for?
