The goal of LASIK is to reduce or eliminate your dependence on corrective lenses. By improving the uncorrected vision in patients, LASIK allows patients to go about their daily routine and enjoy life without the need for corrective lenses. How Does Lasik Treat Nearsightedness and Farsightedness? Your eye is anesthetized with eye drops (injections are not necessary). We then use a precise motorized instrument called a microkeratome to create a hinged flap of tissue on the center of the cornea. This flap of tissue is lifted back and the excimer laser is used to sculpt a new flatter surface under this flap. For farsightedness, the laser sculpts a new steeper surface. The flap is then replaced and adheres without requiring any stitches. People sit up from their procedure and can see better immediately. What is No-Cut Lasik? At Custom Laser Center, we're happy to also offer Epi-LASIK, the no-cut LASIK eye surgery procedure. The difference between LASIK and Epi-LASIK is that Epi-LASIK involves no blades or alcohol in the procedure. Epi-LASIK is a less abrasive procedure that many find preferable to traditional LASIK eye surgery. With Epi-LASIK eye surgery, available at our Los Angeles and San Diego offices, a doctor can significantly reduce recovery time. Epi-LASIK is especially recommended for those who have extremely sensitive eyes and are concerned with the effects of putting alcohol on their eyes, or having an incision made. Another benefit of Epi-LASIK is that it's an outpatient procedure. Since we numb your eyes with anesthetic drops, there will be no pain, no needles, and no injections. Epi-LASIK takes only seconds, and you'll be able to see right away. What is Wavefront, or Custom Lasik? Corneas are like fingerprints, just as unique and intricate. They have lumps, bumps, ridges and grooves. These shapes create distortions that can't be treated with glasses or contacts. Even some standard LASIK treatments can only correct so much. That's why Custom Laser Center employs a device called a Wavefront Analyzer, which sends multiple parallel beams of light into the eye. These beams get distorted as they bounce through the cornea, off the retina, and back again. These distortions are registered by the analyzer and used to direct the laser specifically to those areas causing them. These distortions are then targeted and corrected, frequently resulting in better than 20/20 vision.
