Financing LASIK Surgery

For many people LASIK eye surgery is the process to receiving the vision they've always wanted. We're not all born with perfect 20/20 vision, so for some LASIK surgery is a necessary procedure to give people clear vision. With LASIK costing a few thousand dollars per eye, having laser eye surgery may sometimes seem more of a financial decision than a medical or lifestyle choice. However, financing options mean that cost need not be a reason to avoid LASIK.
With a little research, you may be able to find an affordable way to pay for the LASIK procedure even if you are concerned about cost. Payments range and vary from $200 to $500 monthly, depending on the type of financing decide to go with. For those that feel that correcting their vision is a necessity, there are options out there for you to do it, just make sure that you can afford the steady payments.

The Development of LASIK

Today we will touch on the development of eye care from it's creation to where it is today. Many people are unaware that until contact lenses were popularized in the 1950s, eyeglasses for at least the past seven centuries had been the only practical way to correct refractive vision errors. Today, several modern approaches to corrective eye surgery range from laser reshaping of the eye's surface in procedures such as LASIK and PRK to surgical insertion of artificial lenses to correct eyesight. In LASIK, PRK, and similar procedures, laser energy reshapes the curvature of the eye's clear front surface (cornea) to alter the way light rays enter the eye. Artificial lenses surgically inserted into the eye also can refocus light rays to sharpen vision.

Bladeless LASIK Information at Eye Surgery USA

You've heard about the revolutionary vision correction surgery that doesn't involve the use of a blade?

Blade-less LASIK

It's safe, convenient and very popular. 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.

The truth is that, 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.

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.

IntraLase Method Eye Correction Surgery Explained

The IntraLase Method uses tiny, rapid pulses of laser light to create your corneal flap instead of using a metal blade during the first step of LASIK. Each pulse of light passes through the top layers of your cornea and forms a microscopic bubble at a specific depth and position within your eye that is determined by the doctor.

The IntraLase laser moves back and forth across your eye, creating a uniform layer of bubbles just beneath your corneal surface.

Just prior to applying laser vision correction, the doctor creates your corneal flap by gently separating the tissue where these bubbles have formed. The corneal flap is then folded back so the doctor can perform the second step of your LASIK treatment.

The New York Times Online has created an interactive graphic entitled, "Refining Vision Surgery for a Sharper Focus," which offers an extraordinary understanding of the procedure and how it works.
