| LASIK
(Laser in-Situ Keratomileusis) combines the precision of the excimer
laser delivery system with the benefits of Lamellar Keratoplasty
(LK), proven to treat a wide range of refractive errors.
Now, in it's second decade of use, the technically advanced Excimer
laser has added a tremendous amount of precision, control and safety
to the surgical correction of vision errors. The
Alcon LadarVision® is the most advanced
form of Excimer laser. It has the ability to track eye movement
4000 times per second. It is a very refined process. How successful
is the procedure?
The vast majority of people who undergo LASIK are able to pass a
drivers license test without their glasses or contacts.
Since LASIK can be used to treat very high levels of refractive
error, it is sometimes necessary to fine-tune the initial procedure
with additional refractive procedures to obtain the best final result.
