LASIK
LASIK
stands for Laser Assisted in-Situ Keratomileusis. It is a painless,
outpatient procedure that reshapes the cornea utilizing
ultraviolet light energy from the Excimer laser. Most people
who require vision correction are candidates for LASIK, and
nearly all levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
can be corrected with this ten minute procedure.
The
surgeons of Ophthalmology Consultants recognize the decision
to have LASIK
is a big one. Along with the experience of having
performed more than 16,000 LASIK procedures to date, that
is precisely why we offer the safest and most technologically
advanced
treatment
available today. By combining the all laser Intralase(www.intalase.com)
method of flap creation with Custom-Vue(www.personalbestvision.com)
technology our patients receive a personalized, blade-free
LASIK experience. Clinical studies have shown that the combination
of
these two cutting edge technologies takes more patients to
20/20 vision and beyond with the highest level of safety!
Your
vision is unique; as personal as your fingerprint or your DNA.
The CustomVue
System allows us to measure and treat
these unique focusing imperfections of your eyes. With Intralase,
a special
laser is used instead of a blade to create the hinged flap
in the cornea. This technique greatly increases the safety
of LASIK by
eliminating some of the most feared complications of LASIK
which are associated with the oscillating blade used with
traditional corneal flap makers. These FDA approved technologies
offer
the
safest and most precise form of vision correction now available.
