LASIK: The Preferred Treatment
The latest, and most preferred, laser vision correction procedure for most patients is called “LASIK” (pronounced lay•sic).
The LASIK procedure restores visual acuity within a few days (rather than weeks as with older procedures such as RK and PRK). And LASIK patients report a high comfort level after the procedure — in most cases, patients return to their daily routines the very next day.
In earlier vision correction procedures, such as RK and PRK, the physician made corrections directly to the surface of the eye, which caused some discomfort and a longer healing time. LASIK has changed that...
Animation of LASIK Procedure
With LASIK, a flap is made and gently laid back before the laser is used. Then, once the cool beam has been applied, the flap is replaced. So the tissue is left intact and the eye is protected.Because very little of the eye's tissue is disturbed, patients report a high comfort level after the procedure, and visual acuity is rapidly improved.
Limberg Eye Surgery utilizes the most advanced laser vision correction technology: VISX Star S3, ActiveTrak™ is the only system that allows the doctor to track your eye movement in all three dimensions during the treatment, for greater control. VISX laser systems have been used to perform more than two million laser vision correction procedures in the U.S. alone. And, now, the WavePrint System is revolutionizing laser vision correction. Correcting your vision is safer and more accurate than ever before!
