Procedures

PRK (PHOTO REFRACTIVE KERATECTOMY)
With precision, non-thermal Excimer laser is used to gently reshape the cornea. There are no incisions and most procedures take less than one minute. With new laser advances, such as Wavefront technology, refractive surgeons in the future will be able to produce even more accurate results.

LASIK (LASER IN SITU KERATOMILEUSIS)
A protective "flap" of tissue is created from the outermost layer of the cornea with a precise, automated instrument. This layer is gently folded back and laser light is applied to the underlying tissue. The flap is then replaced in its original position without the need for sutures.

IntraLASIK (100% Blade - Free LASIK Experience)
The IntraLase Method creates the corneal flap by applying tiny, rapid pulses of laser light, not a metal blade.  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.  As the laser moves back and forth across your eye, a uniform layer of bubbles froms just below the corneal surface.
