iLASIK – The Next Generation LASIK Procedure

 

iLASIK: The Ultimate Vision Correction Procedure
The new iLASIK procedure combines the world’s most advanced vision correcting technologies into one safe, proven procedure. The iLASIK system provides precise, safe, and effective vision correction. This new procedure has now been used to treat more eyes than any other laser vision treatment available today, which is a testament to its reliability. This advanced computer-guided laser optical procedure corrects the broadest range of vision imperfections including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and all types of astigmatism. This exciting new iLASIK vision-correction procedure is currently being used for NASA astronauts and U.S. Air Force pilots who demand the clearest, most precise vision possible.

Advanced “Bladeless” LASIK System Uses Two Precision Computer-Guided Lasers
iLASIK is an advanced “bladeless” laser-assisted vision correction procedure which has revolutionized the field by integrating TWO computer-guided lasers instead of one as in earlier generations of LASIK. The first is an ultra-fast laser which eliminates the need for the earlier LASIK hand-held surgical blade. iLASIK surgeons now have precise tools to painlessly measure and map the uniqueness of both eyes – down to the most minuscule characteristics. The high-precision 3D mapping technology literally creates a “blueprint” for each of your eyes, allowing the surgeon to precisely custom-fit the procedure for each eye.

Improved Vision for You and Your Family
The iLASIK procedure takes only 15-20 minutes. Patients experience a virtually painless procedure with the potential of 20/20 or better vision and outstanding safety due to the high-precision laser technology. The fast and painless iLASIK procedure is truly customized and based on precise measurements of your vision profile. Only the iLASIK Procedure has earned FDA approval to treat the broadest range of vision imperfections, including mild to severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and all types of astigmatism. Following are some of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical study results. These patients were tested one year after their corrective procedure, without wearing any corrective lenses:
– 100% could pass a driving test
– 98% could see 20/20 or better

The iLASIK Procedure vs. Contact Lenses
If you wear contact lenses or eyeglasses here are a few important things to consider:
– The amount of money you spend annually on contacts and glasses
– The lifetime costs of contact lenses
– Comfort issues you may have with contacts
– Complications of forgetting contact lens supplies when traveling
– Potential of contact-related eye infections

You Are Probably a Candidate
The reality is that the majority of people who meet the age and general health requirements are in fact good candidates. If you meet the basic criteria below, you are probably a good candidate for iLASIK:
– You are at least 18 years old
– You are in good general health
– You have had a stable vision prescription for at least one year
– You have no existing eye disease
