The LASIK Procedure
Before discussing the technology that powers our outstanding LASIK outcomes, it is important to understand the LASIK procedure and how it’s performed.
LASIK is a 3-step, roughly 15-minute outpatient procedure:
- Step 1– A thin flap of the cornea is created and gently moved out of the way to expose a lower layer of the cornea for treatment in the next step.
- Step 2– Using an excimer laser, cool pulses of light are applied to the exposed lower layer of the cornea, reshaping its curvature. This step is how the patient’s prescription is treated, and therefore, it’s likely the most impactful step on a patient’s visual outcome.
- Step 3– When corneal reshaping is complete, the surgeon lays the corneal flap back down into its original position. It self-adheres without stitches.
After the procedure, patients go home to relax—a long nap is usually recommended. The eyes will heal on their own with the help of prescription eye drops; most patients achieve 90% of their vision correction overnight! Patients can typically return to work the very next day. Further healing and vision correction takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks.
Advanced LASIK Technology
While there have been many advancements in LASIK technology over the years, the two most important are the advent of bladeless LASIK and the availability of Wavefront Optimized® Custom LASIK.
In the early days of LASIK, the first step of the procedure, creating the flap, was done with a surgical device called a Microkeratome. This device contained a surgical blade.
Modern LASIK uses a specialized laser to create the flap on the surface of the cornea, which is advantageous for one, big obvious reason: there’s no blade!
Let’s dig deeper into the details of Step 2 of the LASIK procedure, re-shaping the cornea with a laser…
Wavefront LASIK treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism (low-order aberrations) while simultaneously accounting for some of the unique imperfections (or attributes) of each patient’s visual system (high-order aberrations).
Most experts agree that, in general, Wavefront LASIK provides a better visual result and better quality vision than conventional (i.e., standard or traditional) LASIK. Night vision, in particular, benefits the most from Wavefront Optimized® Custom LASIK.
At 20/20 Institute, we want you to feel confident in the decision-making process.
