LASIK in Fredericksburg - New iLASIK Procedure

Now that the iLASIK procedure is available, there’s really no reason to put off having laser vision correction. Doctors have been doing LASIK for a decade. Nearly 32 million LASIK procedures have been performed to date, making it the most common elective vision procedure in the U.S. In fact, all branches of the U.S. military and NASA recently approved LASIK for their servicemen and women thanks to studies using iLASIK technology. The introduction of the iLASIK procedure (the combination of today’s most innovative laser vision correction technologies) means the wait is over and it’s simple:

1. Most people are candidates — make an appointment and have an exam.
2. iLASIK technology is safe and proven.
3. The iLASIK procedure is fast and simple.

There’s a new standard for laser vision correction technology, making things easy for physicians and patients. The iLASIK platform is the integrated blending of IntraLase technology with the Advanced CustomVue treatment using VISX technology.

WaveScan™ technology captures unique imperfections in each individual’s eye that could not have been measured before, using standard methods for glasses and contact lenses.

IntraLase technology gives you the capability to precision-design your patient’s intracorneal architecture in terms of diameter, depth, edge angle and morphology — creating the optimal stromal bed for the refractive procedure. IntraLase technology delivers many of the essential components of the ideal LASIK flap. Click Here for more about IntraLase.

The Advanced CustomVue treatment using VISX technology can deliver “personal best vision”.

With the iLASIK procedure, you’re wait is over because:

• Laser Vision Correction correction Has Never Been Better … The iLASIK procedure is the result of a decade’s worth of technical refinement — it combines all of the latest all-laser LASIK technology in one efficient LASIK procedure. It simply doesn't get any better, so now’s the time.
  
  
• There’s No Mystery … You’ve heard thousands of LASIK ads touting thousands of different things, but the iLASIK procedure delivers outstanding results, one integrated technology solution and one easy way to better vision.
  
  
• It’s Truly Personalized … The iLASIK procedure is truly customized just for you. Everything is based on your individual vision dynamics, so it’s all about you.

Exceptional Vision Correction Technology At Every Step

When you have the iLASIK procedure, you’ll get a completely integrated, completely personalized procedure based on advanced vision correction technology at every step.

• Step 1 — Creating Your Personal Vision Profile
  
  The first step in the iLASIK procedure is to perform a series of tests to determine the individual characteristics of your vision, including the use of our WaveScan™ technology. The WaveScan system creates a 3-D map of the unique imperfections of your eyes. Then our Advanced CustomVue™ process uses the digital information from that map to design a custom treatment for each of your eyes.
  
  
• Step 2 — Making The iLASIK Flap
  
  The iLASIK procedure exclusively uses an advanced technology called the IntraLase™ Method. The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free approach to creating your corneal flap, the thin flap of tissue that the doctor folds back in order to perform your iLASIK procedure. The IntraLase Method also delivers outstanding visual results more patients achieve vision that is 20/20 or better when the IntraLase Method is used.1 And in a clinical survey of LASIK patients who had their corneal flaps created using a blade in one eye and the IntraLase Method in the other, the vision in the IntraLase-treated eye was preferred 3-to-1 (among those who stated a preference).
  
  
• Step 3 — Your Laser Vision Correction
  
  Now that you’ve had your personal vision profile using WaveScan technology and your blade-free corneal flap using the exclusive IntraLase Method, your vision can be corrected using the Advanced CustomVue treatment within the iLASIK procedure. The Advanced CustomVue process has earned FDA approval to treat the broadest range of vision imperfections possible, including mild-to-severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and all
  types of astigmatism.
