First 100 CustomCornea commercial eyes

With the advent of wavefront-guided custom abalation we not only try to reach a target of 20/20 vision, but strive for improvement in what has always been most important--the quality of this vision.

Insights are presented, based on clinical experience at Durrie Vision with our first 100 commercial CustomCornea eyes. We highlight key points for preparing a clinical practice for this new technology, such as staff training, marketing, and pricing. We discuss technical aspects such as patient selection and target adjustment as they relate to the Alcon LADARWave system.

In our practice we have thus far had clinical success with CustomCornea; patient acceptance has been high, and by closely monitoring our first few patients we were able to reduce the number of future enhancements.
