...correct problems in high-powered telescopes. Wavefront Lasik uses 200 little lenses to map the cornea, taking into account all its bumps and abnormalities to produce a highly accurate, individualized prescription. Conventional Lasik, by contrast, applies one standard formula to each eye. If the old Lasik is off the rack, wavefront is a custom-fit procedure.
