Advanced CustomVue LASIK. Personalized treatments for excellent results.

What is LASIK?

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis), commonly referred to as Laser Eye Surgery, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. During the LASIK procedure, a microscopic, protective flap is created to access the inner corneal tissue. Then, the laser light is used to gently reshape the surface of the cornea to alter its focusing power and improve your vision.

Understanding how the eye sees images

How we see is important to understanding how vision correction works. When we look at an image, light passes through the outer most part of the eye called the cornea. From there, the light passes through our lens. The lens is responsible for focusing on objects, either in the distance or up close. Finally, this image is projected onto the retina, which transmits the image to the brain via the optic nerve. Imperfections in vision can be caused by any three of these areas (cornea, lens, or retina).

Most laser vision correction aims to perfect the image entering the eye by gently reshaping the surface of the cornea. These types of imperfections in our vision are known as refractive errors categorized into three types: nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Laser vision correction is an effective treatment for all of these types of refractive errors.

Advanced CustomVue LASIK

CustomVue LASIK technology is the most precise type of LASIK available, offering patients excellent, predictable results that far exceed those of traditional LASIK (and few centers offer this LASIK technology).

The CustomVue procedure incorporates two key technologies; the Wavescan analyzer, and the VISX Star S4 Laser. The Wavescan analyzer maps your unique optical inperfections utilizing a shack-hartmann wavefront sensor. This data is used to calculate a personalized laser treatment plan for each individual eye. Last, the personalized treatment profile is transfered to the Start S4 Laser and applied to the patients eye to deliver a personalized LASIK treatment with superior results.

Step-By-Step

What to expect during LASIK treatment?

Freedom from glasses or contacts doesn't have to be hard. Check out our start-to-vision LASIK process.

Flap creation

Using the VisuMax laser, a microscopic flap is created and folded back like the page of a book, exposing the inner cornea for treatment.

Corneal sculpting

The excimer laser gently reshapes the corneal trissue within a few seconds correcting the visual defects.

Last, the flap is returned to its original position, protecting the eye much like a natural bandage.

The worlds most advanced all-laser LASIK

Originally the first step in the LASIK procedure, creating a flap, was completed with a blade. More recently, advanced laser technology (called femtosecond lasers) became available to create the flap using a laser (instead of a blade). This is commonly referred to as all-laser-lasik. Utilizing a laser to create a flap results in a safer, faster procedure with more accurate results.

Some centers only offer blade-LASIK, while others charge an additional fee for all-laser-lasik. Our philosophy has always been to offer the safest, most advanced technology to our patients as our gold standard. Keeping with this philosophy all of our LASIK procedures are all-laser as we include femtosecond LASIK (all-laser) with every procedure.
