Laser Vision Correction
and LASIK
Experience the vision correction revolution
that has helped thousands reduce or eliminate
their need for glasses or contact lenses.
Whether you are nearsighted, farsighted
or have astigmatism, if you are in good medical condition, you MAY
BE a candidate for Laser Assisted
in-Situ-Keratomileusis (LASIK).
Lasik reshapes the
cornea so that light is focused more precisely on the retina of
the eye. The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes and most
people return to work in one day. |

How LASIK
Works
In a Lasik procedure, the eye is anesthetized
and a surface layer of the cornea is gently lifted. The underlying
surface is treated with pulses of laser for approximately 30
- 60 seconds resulting in the reshaping of the cornea. The protective
flap is replaced and this thin layer reseals itself without stitches. Healing is rapid and comfortable.
Custom Ablation
is
an exciting enhancement to laser vision correction. This LADARvision
wavefront-guided technology makes exact measurements of the eye,
including the size of the pupil, then uses the data to return
an ideal optical correction grid for that patient. Lastly, it uses
advanced eye-tracking technology to synchronize the correction
grid with the image of the patient’s eye during the vision
correction procedure.
