LASIK and Visian ICL - Vision correction experts have been searching for generations for ways to surgically correct vision. It wasn’t until the 1980s, with the invention of RK (radial keratotomy), that the surgical vision correction became more accepted. The vision correction surgeries were successful but the results were often unpredictable. In the mid-1990s the FDA approved LASIK. And the world of vision correction would never be the same. Since then, revolutionary advances have been made in vision correction surgical procedures, including LASIK and the Visian ICL, so there are more options than ever before.
Distinct Correction for Each Individual—iLASIK™ 
We're 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. By employing the same scientific advancements used in high-powered telescopes, 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.
NOT A CANDIDATE FOR LASIK? How about a contact lens that never needs to be cleaned? Learn more about the Visian ICL ...
The Visian lens is an excellent alternative to LASIK for patients who are not candidates for refractive surgery. The Visian ICL™ is the first lens of its kind to receive FDA approval for use in the United States. It is based on many years of research and development in adapting the proven technology of the IOL (intraocular lens) used for cataract surgery. The IOL cataract procedure is familiar to ophthalmologists and is performed safely on millions of patients each year. While the technology is similar, the Visian ICL™ procedure differs from cataract surgery as the natural lens is not removed from the eye. Instead, the Visian ICL™ is placed in front of the natural lens and works with it to correct vision.
Come see us for a free screening to see which whether LASIK or the Visian ICL are vision correction options for your situation.
