Customized Ablation: Tomorrow's Technology, Here Today

As a pioneer in refractive surgery, Dr. Scott MacRae continues to lead the field in the development and use of wavefront sensing.

Along with a team of scientists from the University of Rochester’s Center for Visual Science and Bausch & Lomb, Dr. MacRae has been conducting refractive research to develop ways to detect and treat the most minute optical errors. As part of routine patient care, Dr. MacRae’s team uses the Orbscan corneal analysis system and Zywave wavefront sensor to ensure safety and optimum vision correction.

Seeing is believing: Review the FDA clinical trial results and find out why the Bausch and Lomb system is the safest and most effective.
