Feature - Lasik Surgery
 


What are some of the benefits of LASIK over other refractive procedures?

LASIK offers a number of benefits over other forms of Laser Vision Correction because it is performed under a protective layer of corneal tissue. As a result, there is less surface area to heal, less risk of scarring, less risk of corneal haze, less postoperative discomfort, less postoperative need for medications, and vision returns more rapidly, often within several hours. Although postoperative results vary, most patients are able to pass a drivers license test without their glasses or CL's

What is Wavefront Corneal Mapping?
Wavefront allows for a much more accurate and precise LASIK procedure. By mapping the subtle nuances of the cornea, Wavefront produces a more dependable result. The LASIK outcomes today are radically improved over just a few years ago thanks to this groundbreaking technique!

Is Laser Vision Correction safe?
Millions of people are enjoying the benefits of improved vision by Laser Vision Correction. The outcome data shows extremely predictable results. The FDA has recognized Laser Vision Correction for nearsightedness and farsightedness with or without astigmatism, and found the treatment safe and effective for eligible patients. Clinical trials have demonstrated more than 80% of patients could see 20/20 after one year, and 98% of patients could see 20/40 or better and were able to function normally and even drive without glasses or CL's.
