Lasik Laser Surgery has emerged as a popular as it is quick, relatively painless and moreover recovery time is minimal moreover with incorporation of new and latest technology, patients often experience a better outcome with their Lasik vision correction surgery.

In the past, Lasik was performed by using a hand held blade to cut open the cornea which never always left a desired affect however many newly introduced Lasik techniques now offer more accuracy and better vision results.

Intralase

A new laser technique that is far safer and more exact than any other type of laser used in Lasik thus becoming the most preferred one. During this procedure, the computer-guided laser assists the surgeon to create the corneal flap with a beam of light. This ensures that the flap has the exact corneal centration, thickness and diameter, thus more exact results are achieved.

Custom Lasik Procedure

This is another well-liked and recommended form of Lasik technology which uses the wave front-guided method and is set to exactly match the needs of the patient. With the help of three-dimensional scans of the eye mapped out during this procedure, it shows all vision impairments so the exact amount of corneal tissue is removed, thus providing more accurate results. It not only helps correct and improves vision problems such as hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism but also does away with the possibility of needing a second “enhancement” surgery too.

Wavefront Guided Technology

It is one more very popular Lasik procedure that utilizes the latest technology and promises the most accurate results and is more useful for the patients with severe vision problems. This technology uses micro sensors and wave light allowing corneal irregularities to be measured and serves as a virtual blueprint to the patient’s eye. The irregularities can not only be three dimensionally mapped but can be recorded and transferred to the actual laser that is used to reshape the cornea during the Lasik procedure.
