LASIK Process
LASIK at Associated Eye Care: Personalized all-laser treatment with iLASIK™
Imagine waking up to see the world with crisp, brilliant clarity with less dependence on glasses or contact lenses. With life-changing LASIK, you'll be able to play sports, swim and enjoy social activities with greater confidence for years to come.
For the LASIK procedure, our physicians use the advanced iLASIK system.
iLASIK is an integrated system that combines three advanced technologies to provide you with the best possible results:
1. WaveScan™ eye-mapping
WaveScan captures a detailed 3-D image of the unique imperfections of your cornea, creating a map that guides your surgeon and the laser. Using this system, we are able to completely personalize your treatment, delivering better results for you.
2. IntraLase all-laser flap creation
All-laser flap creation brings a new level of safety and precision to the creation of the flap before your cornea is reshaped by the laser, leading to lower risk of side effects and complications.
3. Advanced CustomVue laser treatment with VISX Technology
Once the flap has been created, the advanced CustomVue laser precisely reshapes the cornea based on the WaveScan eye map, providing you with clearer vision and less dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
The entire process takes approximately 10 minutes per eye. Most people get back to their normal routine quickly; some even go back to work the day after surgery.
