It is important that you read and understand LASIK Eye Surgery technology and procedures before making a decision to have laser eye surgery.  

LASIK EYE CENTERS IS A LEADER IN LASIK EYE SURGERY WE USE STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY.

WAVEFRONT LASIK is the best laser eye surgery procedure available in the world and LASIK Eye Centers uses of one the top WAVEFRONT laser platform available: 

Ø      Bausch and Lomb’s – Z100™ laser and Iris Recognition Technology

WAVEFRONT guided LASIK means:

  • LASIK Eye Centers is able to provide a laser eye surgery treatment that is customized to your eyes only and with Iris Recognition ensures that the correct eye is treated.
  • The potential to achieve better vision such as 20/15
  • Studies comparing results of WAVEFRONT LASIK with conventional LASIK found that 90 to 94 percent of patients receiving WAVEFRONT LASIK achieved visual acuity of 20/20 or better, whereas up to 80 percent of those receiving conventional LASIK achieved 20/20 or better.
  • The potential to decrease the chance from complications such as night glare or halos.

WAVEFRONT technology is an additional treatment that can be performed in conjunction with either LASIK surgery or PRK. Data for this customized treatment is gathered during the pre-operative exam using our WAVEFRONT Analyzer

Bausch & Lomb WAVEFRONT

 

  • This technology is a much more advanced form of LASIK surgery.

 

  • This highly sophisticated technology allows the surgeon to examine each eye for previously unseen details known as aberrations.

  • The technology also measures and treats small vision errors (higher order aberrations) such as scattered light errors that cause shading seen around one edge of a perfectly round light. These light errors may cause poor quality night vision.

  • These small vision errors are detected with WAVEFRONT technology and treated by the laser with a combination of smaller and larger beams, allowing the surgeon to deliver a more precise, customized treatment.  

The Bausch & Lomb Diagnostic Workstation

 

  • unites two trusted technologies: Wavefront Aberrometer and Orbscan IIz Anterior Segment Analysis System.  Individually they supply critically important data; together they transform the science of preoperative refractive planning.

    Larger Treatment Zone

    Many lasers only treat an area of 6-8mm with no smoothing of the edges. This can result in night vision difficulties if the patient is under low light conditions, as the pupil can grow to twice as much as its normal size. Thus, the pupil can enlarge beyond the treatment zone resulting in glare and a "halo" effect.

    The Bausch and Lomb laser eliminates this problem by offering the widest treatment zone available for treatment. In addition, the laser creates a blend zone that allows the doctor to smooth the corrected area into the rest of the cornea, maintaining a spherical shape.

The Orbscan technology

  • Used to help determine your surgical eligibility with certainty.  Assessing the health of your eye determines whether or not you are a candidate for laser eye surgery.
  • The orbscan sets a new standard for precision measurement of the anterior segment of the eye and provides data in the form of topographic surfaces.
  • Elevation topography of the anterior cornea enables LASIK Eye Centers to visualize the shape of the corneas more accurately, which leads to accurate diagnoses and consistent laser eye surgery.
