Vision Correction

in Denver, Colorado

You will not find a more technologically advanced vision correction environment anywhere else. The 20/20 Institute uses only the best and latest FDA-approved technology because we understand nothing is more precious than your vision.

Pentacam

In order to provide the best custom treatment to achieve visual freedom for each patient, the 20/20 Institute first takes measurements with the Pentacam, a 3-D rotating camera that can measure all surfaces of the cornea. It can map the cornea with great accuracy and help us diagnose vision problems and design a custom treatment plan just for you.

CustomVue Technology

AMO-VISX, the company which manufactures the CustomVue System, has done years of excellent research and development in laser vision correction. Their CustomVue procedure consists of the Star S4-IR Excimer Laser System and the WaveScan Wavefront System. It's a complete technology that diagnoses the eye's refractive condition, creates a 3-D map of it, and guides the laser in correcting it.

The CustomVue system creates a detailed map of the eye, like a unique fingerprint, that is 25 times more precise than was possible by previous methods. This allows treatments to be so customized for each patient that no two treatments are the same. The WaveScan part of the system that gathers this information transfers it digitally to the laser, which then uses it to treat the eye. This is why the system is also known as Wavefront Guided LASIK.

More than ten million procedures have been performed using VISX lasers.

Bladeless LASIK

As we are continually striving to implement the current highest level of LASIK technology, we have added a new, bladeless LASIK procedure.  This procedure, known as IntraLase LASIK, uses lasers at all stages of the LASIK process.  It has been used on over one million patients, with no serious complications, proving it has an even better level of safety than the already-superb standard we maintain here at the 20/20 institute.  The procedure also has greater flexibility, allowing it to be practiced on even more patients than could receive normal LASIK.  Patients report less discomfort and quicker healing from IntraLase LASIK than from other LASIK procedures.

Beyond Glasses and Contact Lenses

Prescriptions for glasses or contacts lack the fine precision of the Wavefront map of an eye. Any given glasses or contact prescription is used by thousands, perhaps millions of people, who thus wear identical glasses or contacts.

But nobody but you will have the exact LASIK treatment using CustomVue. That's because the CustomVue diagnosis of your eye's refractive nature, and your treatment, based on that diagnosis, are both so mind-bogglingly precise, that they give a one-of-a-kind surgery. This will allow you to achieve the complete potential of your vision.

Clinical Study Results

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stringent requirements as to clinical studies before it will approve a technology or medical device. VISX completed all the studies and research required by the FDA, with astounding results.

For example:

One year after the CustomVue procedure:

• 100% of the study participants could pass a driving test without glasses or contacts
• 98% had 20/20 vision or better without glasses or contacts
• 70% could see at 20/16 or better without glasses or contacts. That's vision even better than what is considered "normal".

Night vision impairment is one of the possible side effects of LASIK surgery, although it occurs rarely. The VISX studies found that four times as many participants were very satisfied with their night vision after having a CustomVue procedure, compared with their previous night vision, with glasses or contacts.
