Highlights of the 1st International Congress of Wavefront Sensing and Aberration-free Refractive Correction.

As we review the many new and evolving techniques for treating patients with customized ablation, it is obvious that there is a rapid evolution of technology and thought. Newly refined diagnostic technology, such as wavefront sensing, and more sophisticated spot laser delivery systems with eye tracking gives the refractive surgical team greater flexibility in tackling challenging optical abnormalities. These highlights of the 2000 Congress now set the stage for further development, outlined in the following selected papers from the 2001 Congress.
