A silent computer-guided laser is used during the first step of the LASIK procedure to create the corneal flap. In Bladeless LASIK, the laser accounts for the natural curvature of the cornea, creating a customized flap of uniform thickness. ~ Surgeons can treat a wider variety of patients, including patients with thin corneas. ~ Eliminates the hand-held microkeratome (blade), giving you an ‘all-laser’ procedure.

Custom Lasik
Your cornea is like your fingerprints; no two are alike. With Custom LASIK, a customized map is created for each eye. This data allows for treatment of tiny imperfections in the eye that can have a significant impact on your quality of vision.

• Digitally identifies and measures imperfections 25 times more precisely that Conventional LASIK.
• Offers the potential for better vision than with contacts or glasses.
• Provides improved night vision and less incidence of glare and halos.
• Is suitable for those requiring higher levels of precision and treatment accuracy that Conventional LASIK can provide.

Conventional Lasik
In Conventional LASIK, your prescription is manually entered into the laser. Conventional LASIK is the original LASIK procedure, and is still an excellent choice. However, your surgeon may determine that you could benefit more from the higher level of customization the Custom LASIK may provide.

Monovision
Generally, monovision is elected by people who have already elected monovision correction with their contacts or glasses. Monovision is helpful to reduce your dependence on glasses for near-tasks such as scanning a menu or article, but not for fine prints reading or for a prolonged period of time. For active individuals, such as sports enthusiasts, or those who drive a great deal at night, monovision may not be suitable.

PRK
Like LASIK, PRK utilizes the excimer laser. PRK differs from LASIK as it is performed on the surface of the eye and no flap is created during the procedure. Many patients benefit from Custom PRK, which provides your surgeon with an additional level of data about your vision requirements using customized wavefront technology. PRK is suitable for people with particular corneal issues.
