Abstract

Background: The evolution of refractive surgery techniques in ophthalmology led to the introduction of wavefront technology to address higher-order aberrations induced by laser refractive procedures. This technology, borrowed from astronomy, has revolutionized vision correction by providing customized treatment profiles through wavefront-guided procedures. Aberrometers, such as the Shack–Hartmann sensor, pyramid sensor, and diffuser wavefront sensor, have been instrumental in measuring ocular aberrations for precise treatments. Objective: This review aims to explore the latest advancements in optics technology for enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of vision correction procedures. It evaluates the potential benefits of these innovations in improving visual acuity, reducing complications, integrating new technologies into existing practices, and enhancing patient outcomes and satisfaction levels. Conclusion: Optics technology, particularly wavefront-guided procedures like topography-integrated wavefront-guided LASIK, has significantly improved the predictability and outcomes of refractive surgeries. The utilization of diverse wavefront sensors, such as the Shack–Hartmann sensor and diffuser wavefront sensor, has enabled more accurate measurements of ocular aberrations, leading to enhanced vision correction. The integration of these technologies into ophthalmic practices has the potential to further advance the field of vision correction and improve the quality of life for individuals with visual impairments.
