Blade-Less LASIK?

Did you know that there is new LASIK technology that doesn't involve the use of a blade?

Although LASIK is a procedure that uses a laser to correct vision, the procedure still requires a blade called a microkeratome to cut a hole in your cornea so the laser can pass through and make the correction. Think of it as a scalpel for the eye.

The idea of a blade "cutting into" the eye has been a huge fear for many people who have considered LASIK and may have also been the reason for people to not go through with the procedure.

With IntraLase, there's no blade cutting the eye to make the corneal flap, instead just like a laser used to make corrections to the inner cornea, a laser is used to cut the flap on the outer cornea.

Read more about the specific details on how IntraLase works at Eye Surgery USA.

How Much Does LASIK Cost?

A big factor in deciding whether or not you get LASIK could be the price. Although there is no standard, it's not like a product with an MSRP or a list price, there does seem to be a trend in how much LASIK should be.

On average, LASIK procedures cost about $1,350 per eye. Some specials may advertise $999 per eye, or even $1000 off of a procedure. And there are even reports of specials as low as $299 per eye. But people should be weary about an advertisement that goes far lower than the "going rate."

What it all comes down to is the doctor and the procedure performed. Doctors with more experience will charge as high as $3,000 per eye, but with that price you get the peace of mind that the surgeon is experienced with all different types of procedures and thousands of surgeries. Also keep in mind that regular LASIK costs less than custom or Wavefront LASIK and some of the other procedures involve more mechanical instruments and precision handling. Some clinics also charge acuity plans that will cover later surgeries if need be.

To be safe, bid with the idea of "Not Too Much, Not Too Little" in mind. Just because a doctor charges $2,900 an eye doesn't mean he's the best doctor and paying too little may mean you're getting an inexperienced doctor that may end in bad results. The best way to find your best deal is to look for yourself.

Custom LASIK & Wavefront LASIK

What Is Custom LASIK or Wavefront LASIK?

Custom LASIK is another name for Wavefront LASIK or to be more accurate Wavefront Guided LASIK. Using a three dimensional image mapped out by a computer, by retrieving information on how your eye processes images to guide the laser it reshapes the cornea to correct your vision. Through this process a precise and individualized vision treatment plan is put together, which is not possible with traditional LASIK.

What Are The Benefits of Wavefront-Guided Custom LASIK?

Many of the reasons for people being apprehensive about LASIK are the post-LASIK complications that may occur, such as glare, halos and difficulty seeing at night. However, with cutting-edge Wavefront technology - not only does it reduce the possibility of the post-LASIK side effects and the potential to improve your vision based on the standard 20/20 chart, but has the potential to improve the fine details and better contrast.

How To Choose A LASIK Surgeon

One of the most important steps in the process of undergoing any surgery, is choosing the right surgeon. Below are a few important guidelines provided by Orange County LASIK Surgeon, Dr. Mark Schneider, to help you in your search for the right LASIK surgeon:
  1. Get referrals from other patients, friends, and family.

  2. Beware of advertisements pushing "low cost" surgery. Discount surgery is just that. The quality of care and technology IS NOT the same. The potential savings are not worth the risk in receiving less than expert care.

  3. Don't be fooled by fancy advertisements about a particular laser center. Investigate the doctor, not the center. Find out who will actually do your procedure, then ask about that particular doctor's qualifications. (board certification, specialized training, etc.)

  4. How many actual LASIK procedures has the surgeon performed himself? Choose a doctor who has done at least 5,000 LASIK procedures.

IntraLase Corrective Eye Surgery Procedure

The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free technique used to perform the critical first step in the LASIK procedure: creating the corneal flap. The creation of the corneal flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure, where an excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision.

There are several benefits to using the IntraLase Method:
  • Better vision. More patients in clinical trials achieved vision that was 20/20 or better when their LASIK procedure was performed with the IntraLase Method.(1) And patients report better quality of vision overall, particularly in terms of their ability to see well in low light such as at dusk or at night.(2)

  • Ability to tailor the procedure to your eye. The IntraLase Method gives your doctor the ability to tailor the dimensions of your corneal flap based on what's best for your eye. Everything from the diameter of your flap to the angle of its edges can be precisely determined. This is important because everyone's eyes are shaped a little differently. Having a corneal flap that's individualized to the patient contributes to excellent postoperative outcomes. In addition, a corneal flap created with the IntraLase Method also "locks" back into position after the LASIK procedure is performed.

      Information on Wavefront LASIK

      Wavefront LASIK reshapes the cornea by using three-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser. This provides a precise and individualized vision experience that would be otherwise impossible to achieve with traditional LASIK.

      The advantage of Wavefront LASIK is that it offers a higher quality of vision and not just a measure of how much you can see. On top of being able to achieve 20/20 or better vision, there is a reduced chance of losing visual quality such as contrast sensitivity, vision at night and distorted vision effects such as halos and glares.
