Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is one of the most popular, eye surgery choices for treating low-to-high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. In LASIK, the surgeon uses a microkeratome, a metal-blade cutting instrument, and laser to permanently change the cornea's shape and correct visual distortions. LASIK, which reduces or eliminates a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses, has quickly become the procedure of choice for most patients. They recover quickly, have fewer side effects and complications than with other methods of vision correction and often notice a significant improvement in their vision soon after surgery.
Custom Lasik surgery, also known as wavefront LASIK or wavefront-guided LASIK, uses 3-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser in re-shaping the front part of the eye. With a wavefront measurement system, some extremely precise, individualized vision correction outcomes may be achieved that would be impossible with traditional LASIK surgery, contact lenses or eyeglasses.
With a hand-cut corneal flap, there is more room for error and additional complication possibilities. In No-Blade LASIK, the corneal flap is created using a laser instead of a blade. The IntraLase laser gently folds back the flap, allowing Dr. Kawesch to create an even thinner flap than is possible with the traditional method. With IntraLase, you get the peace-of-mind that comes with highly developed laser technology, less risk, and a thinner flap. With No-Blade LASIK, a number of complications associated with the blade are eliminated. IntraLase flap creation is also quick and painless, and allows for quicker healing.
Lasik eye surgery costs
There is not one set price for laser eye surgery. The cost of lasik eye surgery will vary as there are many factors which affect treatment, including the choice of surgeon, the equipment and quality of the laser system used, the quality of care given to each patient, vision prescription, and the type of procedures being performed. If you are concerned with the cost of lasik eye surgery, at Yaldo Eye Center your cost will never be more than $999.00 per eye.
Choosing a Lasik eye surgery in Michigan Doctor
One of the most important decisions is choosing the eye surgeon that will perform the lasik eye surgery. An experienced and reputable doctor will increase the likelihood of a positive outcome. To find a qualified doctor, try to get a recommendation from your primary eye doctor and talk to other people who have had lasik eye surgery. Also, be wary of discount eye centers that offer rates much lower than other doctors - you usually get what you pay for - and you will most likely be sacrificing quality of care and treatment.
