LASIK (Laser in Situ Keratomileusis)


LASIK produces excellent visual results with fast recovery time and minimal discomfort.  This is why it is the most commonly used surgical procedure for correcting:

  • short-sightedness (myopia)
  • long-sightedness (hyperopia), and
  • astigmatism

    • LASIK is a two step procedure that involves the creation of a thin flap in the cornea (front surface of your eye) and removal of some tissue from within the cornea.  This procedure creates the corneal shape required to provide clear vision without glasses or contact lenses. The corneal flap can be created with a blade called a micro-keratome. 

    At Vision Laser, this flap is usually created using the latest technology laser called IntraLase®.  The IntraLase® laser, with its micron level accuracy, creates the flap with the laser beam without any cutting.
