LASIK eye surgery
What is LASIK eye surgery?
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) eye surgery, also referred to as laser eye surgery, is one of the most frequently performed elective surgeries in North America. It’s a type of refractive surgery in which a laser or microkeratome is used to create a flap and a laser reshapes the eye’s cornea in order to correct common vision problems.
By improving the quality of your vision, LASIK eye surgery can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.
Custom LASIK
Every eye has its imperfections, but Custom LASIK is designed to address and treat these flaws. By utilizing Wavefront technology, our surgeons are able to create a laser treatment that is customized to your individual eyes, allowing for the best post-operative results possible.
Benefits of Custom LASIK
There are a variety of benefits associated with Custom LASIK. Using topography-guided technology, this allows us to collect an elevated level of data from your eyes. This provides the surgeon with more precise measurements of your individual eyes, allowing them to create a laser treatment customized especially for you.
- Higher likelihood of candidacy
- Better post-operative visual outcomes
- It’s proven to be more accurate and safer
