iLASIK – What Is It and How Does It Work?

The iLASIK procedure is one of the most precise medical procedures performed today. iLASIK surgeons now have precise tools to painlessly measure and map the uniqueness of both of your eyes – down to the most minute characteristics individual to you. 3D mapping technology literally creates a blueprint (or fingerprint) of your eye, allowing the iLASIK surgeon to then custom-fit the iLASIK procedure for each of your eyes.

The iLASIK procedure itself is revolutionized by the use of two computer-guided lasers – instead of one as in earlier generations of LASIK. The first, ultra-fast laser creates a thin corneal flap, which is then folded back to allow the second laser to correct your vision based on the exact specification/measurements of your eye(s). The procedure takes just minutes. Patients experience a quick virtually painless procedure with the potential of 20/20 or better vision and outstanding safety as a result of reduced flap complications.

Final post-op visits are conducted with your iLASIK surgeon one day, one month and three months later. You are free to resume your active lifestyle, now with the potential of 20/20 or better vision.† Remember, it was the very same technology advances used in the iLASIK procedure that convinced the military and NASA that iLASIK was finally good enough for their mission critical personnel. Even your most-extreme lifestyle is nothing compared to being ejected from an F-16 or the G-Forces of shuttle rocket blast-off.

Why should I choose iLASIK over other vision correction options?

Just like the tailoring of a fine suit or couture fashion, the iLASIK procedure is tailor-made for you, your vision and the unique characteristics of your two, individual eyes. 3-D mapping, precise measurement and the use of two of the most advanced lasers differentiate the iLASIK procedure from all others. Consumers not only require 20/20 (or better) vision for their active lifestyles, but also prefer not be bothered with the daily inconvenience of glasses and contacts.

Who are candidates for the iLASIK procedure?

There are 290 million candidates for iLASIK around the world. If you are 21 years of age or older and wear glasses or contact lenses to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or mixed astigmatism, you may benefit from iLASIK. See your ophthalmologist for more information and to determine if you are a candidate for iLASIK.

Can you tell me more about the iLASIK Procedure?

The iLASIK Procedure is the culmination of everything we’ve learned about laser vision correction surgery over the past decade. It combines the most advanced LASIK technology in one comprehensive solution, it is an all-laser procedure and it produces truly personalized results.

How is the iLASIK Procedure different from all of the other LASIK procedures I’ve heard about?

It’s the technology that really makes the iLASIK Procedure different. It uses the most advanced technology at every step, from your personal vision evaluation where we create an individualized 3-D map of your eyes; to a precise LASIK flap using a laser, not a blade; and finishing with one of the most precise, accurate forms of laser vision correction available today.
