LASIK Technology

Advances in LASIK technology, including Custom Wavefront LASIK afford patients options with a higher degree of certainty and accuracy than was possible in the past. With the debut of Intralase ® laser, patients can be a form of bladeless LASIK. Custom LASIK technology offers patients a more personalized form of vision correction. With the custom LASIK systems, both lower and higher-order aberrations can be corrected so that the patients in order to better visual results than they would with traditional LASIK surgery. Learn more about Intra LASIK, Wavefront-guided technology, and custom LASIK systems, the FDA-approved and available for use with LASIK surgeons across the country.

Intra LASIK with Intralase ®

For many patients, creating the corneal flap is the most dreaded part of the LASIK procedure. The introduction of the Intralase ® laser has allayed these fears, provides unprecedented security with the latest advances in LASIK technology. The Intralase ® uses a computer-guided lasers, will help in creating the hinged flap with a beam of light. This will ensure the corneal flap is accurate within, thickness and diameter, the patients with the most precise results possible. Learn more about Intralase ®, including the question of how the device works and what results can be achieved with this innovative technology.

Many patients prefer to undergo LASIK with the bladeless Intralase ® laser LASIK, in contrast to the traditional hand-held microkeratome blade. Although both methods are safe and effective, some surgeons have found that intra LASIK reduce the risk of complications after LASIK surgery. The reduced risk of complications, the use of a computer-guided laser, and accurate results, the form of bladeless LASIK is the preferred choice for many patients. The Intralase ® laser can be used during both the traditional LASIK and custom LASIK procedures.

What is Custom Wavefront LASIK?

Also known as Wavefront or Wavefront-guided LASIK, Custom LASIK surgery involves the use of micro-sensors and Wavelight Directed by a laser beam through the eye of the retina. This light is reflected back from the eye so that irregularities of the cornea to be measured on a 3-D card, which serves as a blueprint for your eyes. The recorded variations of your visual system will then be up to laser treatment that is used to reshape the cornea during the LASIK surgery, which is the precise and accurate results through a laser vision correction system.
