Wavefront Technology

Wavefront-guided LASIK uses detailed, 3D maps of your eyes to guide the laser during surgery. This technology measures how light travels through your eye, allowing for a highly customized treatment plan. The result is improved precision and better visual outcomes, including reduced chances of glare, halos, and other visual disturbances.

Femtosecond Lasers

Traditional LASIK involves creating a corneal flap with a surgical blade. However, the advent of femtosecond lasers has changed this step. These lasers create the corneal flap with exceptional accuracy, reducing the risk of complications and enhancing overall safety. Patients benefit from a faster healing process and better vision quality post-surgery.

Topography-Guided LASIK

Topography-guided LASIK, also called Contoura Vision, uses corneal maps to customize the procedure for each eye’s specific traits. This method improves vision by correcting common and subtle visual issues, making vision clearer and sharper. It may also help with night vision.

Increased Safety Protocols for LASIK

Modern LASIK procedures incorporate enhanced safety protocols and diagnostic tools. Pre-operative evaluations are more comprehensive, ensuring that only suitable candidates undergo the surgery. Better screening helps find patients with thin corneas or other risks, leading to safer outcomes.

Faster Recovery Times for LASIK

Advances in LASIK technology have also contributed to faster recovery times. Patients often experience improved vision within 24 hours of the procedure and can typically resume normal activities shortly after. The minimized invasiveness of modern techniques means less discomfort and quicker healing.

Enhanced Patient Comfort

The latest LASIK techniques prioritize patient comfort as a key consideration. New laser systems are made to work quietly and efficiently. This makes treatments faster and improves the overall experience for patients.

New numbing methods and care after surgery help reduce pain during and after eye surgery. This makes the process easier and more comfortable for patients getting vision correction.

Broader LASIK Candidacy

With the refinement of LASIK technology, more individuals are now considered suitable candidates for the procedure. LASIK surgery can now be an option for people with higher prescriptions or previous ineligibilities. This is because advancements in customizing eye treatments take into account individual eye shape and condition. These advancements have expanded the pool of potential LASIK candidates.
