LASIK (Laser in-Situ Keratomileusis)

Standard LASIK and CustomVue LASIK are performed at The Eye Center.

Standard LASIK is laser vision correction performed using the Excimer Laser. During this procedure the cornea is reshaped to conform to your glasses or contact lenses prescription. Patients for over a decade have enjoyed the results of Standard LASIK.

CustomVue LASIK is individualized laser vision correction performed by using the Excimer Laser. Prior to the procedure, WaveScan technology captures the unique imperfections in your vision that could not have been measured and corrected before. It produces a detailed map of your eye—much like a fingerprint, no two are alike. During the procedure the cornea is reshaped to conform to your individualized prescription. All the subtle imperfections in your vision are corrected, providing you with your personal best vision.

Goal:
Decrease your dependence on glasses and/or contact lenses (sunglasses and protective eyewear still needed, reading glasses eventually). Does not prevent or increase your chances of developing cataracts or other eye changes.

Standard LASIK: Over 18 years of age
CustomVue LASIK: Over 21 years of age
Healthy Corneas
Vision has not changed significantly in the last 12 months
