LASIK

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, is a safe and effective procedure performed in an eye laser center that is suitable not only for treating higher prescriptions but also for patients with moderate to low amounts of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. LASIK has a remarkable success rate, with 96% of patients achieving 20/20 vision or better, according to the American Society of Cataracts and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS)

Here's how LASIK works:

Normally, your eye "sees" by the cornea (front part of the eye) focusing light onto the retina (back part of the eye) to create an image. If the cornea is imperfectly shaped, or the eyeball is longer or shorter than normal, a distorted image is projected onto the retina, resulting in blurry vision. For many years, the only solution to this problem was corrective eyewear. Since the FDA's approval in 1995, LASIK has been the solution for over four million people.

LASIK uses an excimer laser (a cool beam of light) to reshape the cornea in order to decrease or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses, so that you can see your best AND look your best!

What the LASIK procedure does is remove tiny amounts of tissue from the cornea, changing its shape - and, by so doing, changing the angle at which light enters through it and is projected onto the retina. This involves a two-step process: first, the surgeon exposes the cornea to the laser. This is done by creating a tiny "flap" in the surface layer of the cornea (called the epithelium). Once this is done, the laser gently reshapes the exposed cornea. Each pulse of the laser removes 39-millionths of an inch of tissue, enabling surgeons to achieve remarkable accuracy while maintaining excellent control throughout the procedure. The flap is then replaced, adhering naturally and securely to the eye, and you are on your way to better vision.

Because the surface layer of the cornea is preserved, discomfort following LASIK is minimal and recovery time is quick. Most people are able to resume their normal schedule and even drive home from the eye laser center THE VERY NEXT DAY after the procedure.


Custom LASIK

Custom LASIK, sometimes referred to as Wavefront LASIK, makes use of the latest laser vision technology at the lowest LASIK eye surgery price. This allows for individualized vision correction outcomes that may not be possible with Traditional LASIK, or glasses and contacts lenses. By mapping up to 2,000 data points on the eye, Custom LASIK can address additional vision irregularities (called higher abberations) that may affect sight. The same laser is used in both Traditional and Custom LASIK, however it is the measurement data that is programmed into the laser that makes a procedure Custom LASIK.

Custom LASIK can only treat a certain prescription range, so not everyone will qualify for, or need, Custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is most beneficial for people with hard-to-correct or unusual vision problems. Other benefits of Custom LASIK may include clearer night vision, decreased risk of glare and halos, and a greater chance of achieving 20/20 vision.

It is important to discuss your options with a health care provider to determine which type of LASIK procedure you qualify for and, therefore, receive the best results from the eye laser center.


PRK and LASEK

LASEK and PRK are primarily used for patients who have thin corneas, are at risk of occupational damage to the eye, or are reluctant to have a LASIK flap. PRK and LASEK differ from LASIK due to the way in which the surface of the cornea is treated.


PRK

PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy) is a procedure much like LASIK and can be used to correct most vision disorders such as hyperopia, myopia, or astigmatism. PRK also uses a laser to change the shape of the cornea, allowing light to focus more clearly in the eye and bring vision closer to normal. Unlike LASIK, with PRK, a flap is not created on the surface layer of the cornea. Instead, the surgeon wipes off a very thin layer of the surface layer of the cornea (epithelium). A laser is then used to reshape the curve of the cornea, the same laser that is used for LASIK.

After the procedure a transparent "bandage", similar to a contact lens, is placed over the cornea to promote healing.

The procedure is painless and visual recovery occurs over several days and can often be accompanied by mild discomfort.

LASEK

LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis) is a variation on the techniques for both LASIK and PRK. Like LASIK, a flap is made in the cornea, but LASEK differs because a much thinner flap is cut affecting only about as much of the surface layer of the cornea as in PRK. The surgeon would then apply the laser to reshape the cornea. Again, the laser is used in the same way to correct vision as is in LASIK and PRK.

After the procedure a surgeon would replace the thin flap and cover the cornea with a transparent "bandage" contact lens to promote healing, much like PRK. Recovery time for LASEK is quicker than PRK, but longer than LASIK.
