Your LASIK Technology
How is LasikPlus's technology different?
You Can Choose From Multiple Laser Platforms
As a LasikPlus patient, you will be treated with the most sophisticated FDA-approved laser technology
in the industry. LasikPlus facilities are outfitted with many new generation laser platforms, including Bausch & Lomb,
VISX, and All Laser LASIK with Intralase®. We realize it is important to have a variety of lasers to provide you with personalized results.
Most importantly, this gives you the ability to be an active participant in your vision correction plan. Due to the necessities
of your prescription, as our patient, you may receive a specific laser recommendation.
You'll be offered a wide choice of both Traditional Laser Vision Correction and Custom LASIK platforms. No one laser could treat all patients; differences in prescription, corneal thickness, and pupil size may indicate the best outcome will be achieved with one laser over another. Your LasikPlus doctor will make recommendations of what is best for you.
Excimer Lasers
Excimer lasers are typically used for LASIK. This technology provides unparalleled degree of precision and predictability. The excimer laser reshapes the cornea by emitting cool pulses of invisible ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light is absorbed in the surface cells of the eye, allowing the surface tissues to be reshaped. The cool light produces virtually no damage to surrounding tissue, increasing its Safety for Vision Correction. Each pulse of the laser removes only a minute amount of corneal tissue; about the thickness of 1/500th of a human hair. Fascinating, isn't it?
Excimer lasers are typically classified as broad beam or flying spot technology.
