| When you have the iLASIK procedure, you'll get a completely integrated, completely personalized procedure based on advanced vision correction technology at every step. |
- Step 1 Creating your personal vision profile
The first step in the iLASIK procedure is to perform a series of tests to determine the individual characteristics of your vision, including the use of our WaveScanTM technology. The WaveScan system creates a 3-D map of the unique imperfections of your eyes. Then our Advanced CustomVueTM process uses the digital information from that map to design a custom treatment for each of your eyes.
- Step 2 - Making the iLASIK Flap
The iLASIK procedure exclusively uses an advanced technology called the IntraLaseTM Method. The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free approach to creating your corneal flap, the thin flap of tissue that the doctor folds back in order to perform your iLASIK procedure. The IntraLase Method also delivers outstanding visual results-more patients achieve vision that is 6/6 or better when the IntraLase Method is used. And in a clinical survey of LASIK patients who had their corneal flaps created using a blade in one eye and the IntraLase Method in the other, the vision in the IntraLase-treated eye was preferred 3 - to - 1 (among those who stated a preference).
- Step 3 - Your Laser Vision Correction
Now that you've had your personal vision profile using WaveScan technology and your blade-free corneal flap using the exclusive IntraLase Method, your vision can be corrected using Advanced CustomeVue treatment within the iLASIK procedure. the Advanced CustomeVue possible, including mild-to-severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and all types of astigmatism. Clinical studies results showed that one year after treatment :
- 100 percent of nearsighted patients and more than 95 percent of all clinical study patients could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses
- 98 percent of mile-to-moderate nearsighted patients and almost three-quarters of all clinical study patients could see 6/6 or better without glasses or contact lenses
- Four times as many mild-to-moderately nearsighted participants were very satisfied with their night vision after treatment compared to their night vs ion before treatment with glasses or contacts
