What Is iLASIK?

LASIK-Laser in situ keratomileusis-is a surgical procedure to reduce nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism by reshaping tissue in the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye.  LASIK is a permanent vision correction, and its long-term results have proven to be very stable.

We are excited to introduce iLASIK™–the ultimate in laser vision correction.
This personalized procedure is the culmination of everything we've learned about LASIK over the past decade. The technology used in the iLASIK procedure is safe and proven. Nearly 32 million LASIK procedures have been performed to date, making it the most common elective vision procedure in the United States.

iLASIK’s Wavefront technology enables each treatment to be “designed” by the unique characteristics of the individuals’ eyes. WaveScan technology produces a detailed map of the eye–much like a fingerprint, no two are alike. After the blade-free Intralase method creates the corneal flap, this information is then translated into a set of CustomVue treatment instructions for the laser. WaveScan transfers these digital treatment instructions to the laser, providing a new level of precision and accuracy. CustomVue is a good choice for individuals who struggle to achieve the visual acuteness they need with contacts or glasses, or for people who tend to see "halos" around lights or have problems with glare.
