Surface Ablation-PRK- A LASIK Alternative
Photorefractive keratectomy, or PRK, was developed in the early 1980s. In 1995 the FDA approved PRK for the correction of myopia, but the procedure had been preformed in other countries for years. It is still commonly performed on patients who, for a number of reasons, do not qualify for traditional LASIK....
Blade-Free LASIK-Intralase
The IntraLase® FS laser is a highly precise tool aiding in corneal flap creation, the first step in laser vision correction surgery. It allows for a completely blade-free laser surgery. During the procedure, the IntraLase laser fires 15,000 pulses per second into the cornea, where the flap....
Lasik
LASIK or laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis uses the accuracy and precision of the excimer laser to alter the shape of the cornea in an attempt to change the way the light is focused or refracted by the eye, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lens. ....
Allegretto Wave
ALLEGRETTO WAVE® is capable of producing some of the largest available optical zones. The optical zone refers to the portion of the cornea that has been corrected by the laser. A larger optical zone is especially important for night vision, and for patients with very large pupils. If a patient’s pupil is larger than the optical zone, they may experience poor...
