Custom LASIK Procedures
Unlike traditional LASIK procedures that use a specialized surgical instrument called a microkeratome to create a flap in the surface of the eye under which the laser can shape the cornea, Los Angeles LASIK seekers can have an all laser, custom LASIK procedure performed at the Reingold Eye Center.
What are the Benefits of All-Laser Custom LASIK?
Many people who would benefit from or who want LASIK surgery have a great deal of anxiety about creating the flap on the eye that is needed for the laser to work. Our custom LASIK procedure eliminates this fear because the treatment is done completely and safely using only lasers.
How is Custom LASIK Performed?
A special laser that is carefully calibrated for your specific and individual needs by an eye doctor with our Center is used to create a series of microscopic bubbles just below the surface of your eye. This, and preparing the eye for the LASIK procedure, takes only a matter of seconds because we've done this many times. The LASIK procedure that follows is identical to the traditional one, and without any sutures, the flap is locked back into place and begins healing immediately once the laser shaping of your eye is complete.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: The Wavefront technology can be used to guide the excimer laser to produce the best possible results for your individual eye.
What Can I Expect Following the Procedure?
Following a brief period for recovery and your personal safety, many patients can return to work or their normal activities the same day already with better vision. Custom LASIK often produces the best possible vision results for those who are nearsighted or farsighted, and those who have had the procedure can enjoy excellent vision even in low light.
