Every process in LASIK is customized for you and aids the surgeon in getting the best possible results for your laser vision correction procedure. There are three main steps to the LASIK procedure: Step 1: WaveScan Map The first step in LASIK is the preparation of the WaveScan 3-D map. Through a series of tests, this tool maps out all the imperfections in your vision so your personalized vision correction plan can be formulated for the Advanced CustomVue vision correction laser. Step 2: Femto Second Laser Although complications are rare, in conventional LASIK the majority occur during the creation of the flap with the microkeratome blade. The Femto Second Laser used in our surgery center eliminates these types of complications. The flap, created with laser technology, is a thinner, more precise flap that allows for faster healing of the cornea. Step 3: Advanced Laser Vision Correction The last step in creating vivid and clear vision for you is the custom laser treatment on your cornea. The WaveScan map provides the surgeon and laser’s computer the information needed to reshape your cornea for your best vision possible. The cool beam of light treats the cornea painlessly and precisely, in just a matter of seconds.
