All-Laser LASIK Technology

LASIK is an acronym for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis – a procedure to reshape the cornea, reducing refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. By reshaping the cornea, light is allowed to properly focus on the retina, helping you see better. This can thereby decrease or even eliminate people’s dependence on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK surgery involves two basic steps: creating a corneal flap, and then reshaping the cornea.

All-laser LASIK refers to procedures where the IntraLase laser is used for the first step of the procedure. Traditionally, doctors have performed this first step using a hand-held device with an oscillating metal blade, called a microkeratome. But now, we are able to create the corneal flap more precisely and accurately utilizing the IntraLase laser. This computer-controlled laser is less invasive and dramatically reduces the risk of complications during the LASIK procedure.

VISX CustomVue

CustomVue is an individualized laser vision correction procedure in which WaveScan data is used to treat visual imperfections. Using WaveScan digital technology, we can now identify, measure, and correct imperfections in an individual’s eyes 25 times more precisely than with standard methods used for glasses and contact lenses. Data gathered from the WaveScan device is transferred to the VISX Star S4 excimer laser for treatment. This provides a new level of precision and accuracy to laser vision correction.

The most advanced version of LASIK available today is the combination of CustomVue enriched with IntraLase technology.
