LASIK Eye Surgery

If you struggle with nearsightedness, farsightedness or if you have
astigmatism, get rid of those eye glasses or contacts…
LASIK eye surgery could be the right solution for you!
Anyone who wears eye glasses or contacts knows how expensive they can
be, not to mention
the inconvenience of having to
change prescriptions and keep up with supply. Well, believe it or not,
LASIK eye surgery has been in practice since the 1950s! Now, as reported
by
LasikPlus, LASIK eye surgery is one of America’s most frequently
preformed surgeries. Of course, since then, technology has advanced and
procedures have thus become a more quick and easy solution to
practically all types of eye correction needs. In fact, most patients
notice a difference in the clarity of their vision by the very next day!
As
you consider
LASIK eye surgery as a solution for your specific needs, you may
find it useful to know a bit more about the procedure and its various
other alternatives. For instance, LASIK eye surgery is a procedure that
reshapes the cornea of the eye by using a small beam of light from an
excimer laser. Variations of this operation include the
LASEK eye sugary procedure, in which a tiny layer of your eye is
removed in order to reach the cornea. LASEK may be suggested by your
doctor as a better fit for your case. This is because, for some people,
the cornea is not thick enough to endure a regular LASIK operation. If
LASEK is the eye surgery of choice, you may experience a longer recovery
time as well as an extended discomfort of the eyes.
 For
anyone who might be extra sensitive or nervous about the traditional
LASIK eye surgery
procedure; you may want to consider a
No-Blade LASIK or
INTRALASIK operation. This type of eye surgery is a far more
advanced and precise approach to eye correction. Instead of using a
razor or any mechanical device, INTERLASIK computer software is used to
create laser micro-pulses which can construct the cornea flap for a safe
an accurate means for operation.
Another type of corrective eye surgery is the
Conductive Keratoplasty (CK). While this treatment may not produce
the most keen vision enhancement, results are enough to reduce
dependence on eye glasses or
contacts. CK eye sugary is extremely precise, so there is a lesser risk
for complications and side effects. By applying mild heat energy, which
is generated by radio frequencies, eye surgeons can reshape the corneal
curvature. This helps the eye to focus better. Most people may notice
almost an immediate d difference in their nearsighted vision. However,
it will take a few weeks for total stabilization and recovery.
Of course, as with
any sugary, a full preoperative evaluation is necessary to determine
whether or not you are a good candidate. If you so chose, or if
recommended by your eye doctor, a customized LASIK, LASEK or INTERLASIK
procedure is always an option.
Custom LASIK offers
Wavefront technology to reconstruct or reshape the cornea. This is
ultimately one of the most technologically advanced procedures for eye
operation which renders an unparalleled level of accuracy and safety
during your eye surgery procedure.
