Corneal wavefront sensing

Corneal wavefront sensing is a specialized measurement technique used to assess how the cornea, the eye’s clear front surface, affects incoming light. It determines the shape and smoothness of the cornea to identify irregularities or distortions. By analyzing how light waves bend as they pass through the cornea, this method helps eye care professionals understand visual imperfections better. The information is crucial for customizing treatments like LASIK surgery or fitting contact lenses, ultimately improving visual clarity by correcting specific corneal irregularities for sharper, more precise vision.
