Abstract
Refractive surgery is still one of the most innovative and evolving fields in ophthalmology. With the advent of customized ablation, a change in paradigm has been established: the primary goal of refractive surgery is not only to eliminate spectacles but to improve or at least prevent deterioration of the optical performance of the eye. Wavefront-guided refractive surgery has, as a new goal, to correct or at least minimize all optical aberrations of the eye, and consequently to improve or preserve visual performance, especially under scotopic conditions.
