If you are researching LASIK, you’ve likely discovered that not all LASIK procedures are the same. While traditional LASIK has helped millions of people reduce their dependence on glasses and contact lenses, newer technology has dramatically improved precision, customization, and visual outcomes.

At Clear Vision Center, we are proud to offer WaveLight® PLUS LASIK, the most advanced form of laser vision correction available today. This next-generation technology represents a major leap forward in how LASIK is planned and performed—delivering exceptional clarity by treating each eye as truly unique.

This article will explain what makes WaveLight PLUS LASIK different, who it’s best for, what results you can realistically expect, and how pricing and financing work.

What Is WaveLight® PLUS LASIK?

WaveLight PLUS LASIK is an advanced form of customized LASIK that uses ray-tracing technology to map how light actually travels through your entire eye—not just the surface of the cornea.

Traditional LASIK primarily focuses on correcting lower-order vision errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. WaveLight PLUS goes further by analyzing higher-order optical imperfections that can affect contrast sensitivity, night vision, glare, and overall visual sharpness.

Using this detailed optical map, the laser treatment is personalized to your eye’s specific characteristics, creating a highly individualized correction.

In simple terms:
WaveLight PLUS doesn’t just reshape the cornea—it optimizes how your eye focuses light.

Why Ray-Tracing Technology Matters

Ray tracing is the same advanced optical technology used in aerospace engineering and high-end imaging systems. Instead of relying on averages or surface-level measurements, ray tracing evaluates thousands of light pathways as they pass through your eye.

This allows us to:

  • Identify subtle optical imperfections unique to you
  • Create a customized treatment plan with exceptional accuracy
  • Improve overall visual quality, not just visual acuity

For patients, this translates into clearer vision, better contrast, and fewer night-vision disturbances compared to older LASIK platforms.

Visual Outcomes With WaveLight® PLUS LASIK

In appropriately selected patients, clinical outcomes with WaveLight PLUS LASIK are outstanding:

  • Nearly 100% achieve 20/20 vision or better
  • 90% achieve better than 20/20
  • 50% achieve better than 20/15

Just as important, patients often report:

  • Sharper vision in low-light conditions
  • Improved contrast sensitivity
  • Reduced glare and halos at night

It’s important to note that results depend on proper candidacy and careful patient selection, which is why consultation and diagnostic testing are critical.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

WaveLight PLUS LASIK is ideal for patients who:

  • Are over age 18 with a stable prescription
  • Are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism
  • Want the most precise and customized LASIK available
  • Value visual quality, not just “passing” an eye chart

However, LASIK is not the best option for everyone.

At Clear Vision Center, we offer the full spectrum of modern vision correction, including:

  • PRK
  • SMILE
  • EVO ICL
  • Refractive lens exchange (RLE)

If LASIK is not the best choice for your eyes, we will guide you toward the option that offers the safest and best long-term outcome. This comprehensive approach is a key reason patients trust us for refractive surgery.

Our Practice Philosophy: Technology + Judgment

WaveLight PLUS LASIK is powerful technology—but technology alone is not enough.

Clear Vision Center is widely recognized as Metro Detroit’s leader in premium vision correction technology, and we integrate WaveLight PLUS into a practice model built on:

  • Advanced diagnostics
  • Rigorous patient selection
  • Surgeon experience
  • Long-term visual quality, not shortcuts

Our goal is not to perform LASIK on everyone. Our goal is to perform the right procedure on the right patient, using the best technology available.

Where Is Surgery Performed?

WaveLight PLUS LASIK procedures will be performed at our new Bloomfield office in early 2026, which serves as our dedicated laser vision correction center.

Consultations for LASIK and all vision correction procedures are available at both our Rochester Hills and Bloomfield locations, allowing you to choose the most convenient site for your evaluation.

Is WaveLight® PLUS LASIK Worth It?

For patients who value precision, clarity, and long-term visual quality, WaveLight PLUS LASIK represents the most advanced LASIK option available today.

Many patients choose this technology because:

  • Vision is critical to their profession or lifestyle
  • They want the best available correction, not the cheapest
  • They are investing in decades of clearer vision

When you consider the lifetime cost of glasses and contact lenses—not to mention convenience and quality of life—many patients find LASIK to be a worthwhile investment.
