1. Completely Bladeless Procedure
In traditional LASIK surgery, the corneal flap is created with a blade. This generally provides good results, but it can be difficult to ensure an accurate depth and consistent thickness of the flap. Your doctor should offer IntraLASIK - an all-laser, completely bladeless procedure that delivers unprecedented accuracy and consistent results.
The LASIK procedure is the right answer for most patients who are considering refractive surgery to improve their vision. However, in patients with higher degrees of nearsightedness or farsightedness, the cornea may be too thin to allow full refractive correction.
In these cases, surgical implants may be the best alternative. These special devices are placed in the eyes to improve their focusing ability.
