I have had a corneal graft to fix irregular astigmatism. While my results have been pretty good I still have some residual astigmatism which gives me some ghosted images. Would wavefront and custom lasik fix the ghosting and who are the experts in the US with this type of experience. i realize that my situation is very unusual, and it is very difficult for me to get a second opinion.

We will be a wavefront study center for your type of problem later this year at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. You can send us a brief history and most recent corneal maps and we can see if it is worth it for you to visit to try to get on the list. Check my web site at www.drsalz.com for contact information.
