Vision Correction with iLASIK The new standard of treatment correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism uses an all laser technology throughout the treatment. Instead of using a blade or “microkeratome”, which cuts across the cornea to create a flap, the laser will create a uniform layer of bubbles beneath the corneal surface then the flap is created by gently separating the tissue where these bubbles are formed thus creating a smooth even corneal surface. As a result, there is a more faster visual recovery and less eye irritation.
Vision Correction with LASIK (Laser In-situ Keratomileusis) A procedure that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This technology involves the use of a microkeratome for creating corneal flaps. The excimer laser then reshapes the cornea by removing precise amount of corneal tissue. LASIK is a preferred choice for many patients because of its good results, however the use of microkeratome may cause corneal distortion and dry eye symptoms.
