What Are The Goals Of Lasik Surgery?

The goal of LASIK is to reduce or eliminate your dependence on
corrective lenses. By improving the uncorrected vision in patients,
LASIK allows patients to go about their daily routine and enjoy life
without the need for corrective lenses.

How Does Lasik Treat Nearsightedness and Farsightedness?

Your eye is anesthetized with eye drops (injections are not
necessary). We then use a precise motorized instrument called a
microkeratome to create a hinged flap of tissue on the center of the
cornea. This flap of tissue is lifted back and the excimer laser is
used to sculpt a new flatter surface under this flap. For
farsightedness, the laser sculpts a new steeper surface. The flap is
then replaced and adheres without requiring any stitches. People sit
up from their procedure and can see better immediately.

What is No-Cut Lasik?

At Custom Laser Center, we're happy to also offer Epi-LASIK, the
no-cut LASIK eye surgery procedure. The difference between LASIK and
Epi-LASIK is that Epi-LASIK involves no blades or alcohol in the
procedure. Epi-LASIK is a less abrasive procedure that many find
preferable to traditional LASIK eye surgery.

With Epi-LASIK eye surgery, available at our Los Angeles and San Diego
offices, a doctor can significantly reduce recovery time. Epi-LASIK is
especially recommended for those who have extremely sensitive eyes and
are concerned with the effects of putting alcohol on their eyes, or
having an incision made.

Another benefit of Epi-LASIK is that it's an outpatient procedure.
Since we numb your eyes with anesthetic drops, there will be no pain,
no needles, and no injections. Epi-LASIK takes only seconds, and
you'll be able to see right away.

What is Wavefront, or Custom Lasik?

Corneas are like fingerprints, just as unique and intricate. They have
lumps, bumps, ridges and grooves. These shapes create distortions that
can't be treated with glasses or contacts. Even some standard LASIK
treatments can only correct so much. That's why Custom Laser Center
employs a device called a Wavefront Analyzer, which sends multiple
parallel beams of light into the eye. These beams get distorted as
they bounce through the cornea, off the retina, and back again. These
distortions are registered by the analyzer and used to direct the
laser specifically to those areas causing them. These distortions are
then targeted and corrected, frequently resulting in better than 20/20
vision.
