LASIK is the most common vision correction procedure world wide and works well to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Recent advances in computer controlled laser technology have optimized safety and vision results. Studies show that more than 95% of nearsighted patients obtain 20/20 or better vision with state-of-the-art LASIK.
Although some LASIK eye surgery practices still rely upon a motorized blade to create the LASIK flap, the IntraLase system completely eliminates the blade from the LASIK procedure. The IntraLase flap is created using thousands of very tiny bubbles. The safety and precision of the IntraLase LASIK method makes it our choice for LASIK candidates.

This depends upon your answer to “Which is better...one or two?” Custom Wavefront treatment uses computerized laser measurements that give a much more precise prescription of your unique eyes.
The precision of Intralase and Custom Wavefront technology offers several potential advantages over older styles of treatment:
