LASIK surgery may be elective, but good vision is not. We understand how valuable your sight is to you, and we keep our sights set on providing safe and advanced technologies for our patients. That is why Bladeless LASIK using the IntraLase® laser is a technology chosen for our patients.
Bladeless LASIK- What is it?
In the LASIK and Custom LASIK laser vision correction procedures, a flap of corneal tissue must be created and then folded back. The cornea is the transparent dome-like structure that covers the iris and pupil of your eye. By creating a flap in the cornea, our surgeons are able to perform the laser vision correction treatment on the inner layer of the cornea and allows for a rapid visual recovery.
With Bladeless LASIK, our LASIK surgeon uses a laser to create the corneal flap. This technology enables our LASIK surgeon the ability to customize the corneal flap for every individual LASIK patient. In recent studies done by IntraLase, this technology may now make it possible to treat those who were previously dismissed as non candidates due to thin corneas.
Bladeless LASIK- The Procedure
Our LASIK surgeons can now offer customization for you in all parts of the LASIK procedure: custom diagnosis (before the procedure), custom flap (Bladeless LASIK), and custom treatment (to complete the procedure).
A FREE Bladeless LASIK consultation will determine what is the best treatment for you.
Studies have shown the incidence of dry eye symptoms may be reduced with Bladeless LASIK.
With Bladeless LASIK and its customization components, LASIK surgeons can treat a wider variety of LASIK patients, including patients with thin corneas.
Bladeless LASIK has been used in more than one million LASIK procedures worldwide
