Wavefront Lasik

One of the newest of the Lasik procedures is wavefront Lasik. When it comes to precision and accuracy, there is absolutely no other eye surgery procedure that can compare to it. In this procedure, the laser directs light into the patient’s eyes and uses the reflecting light to create a three dimension map of the patient’s eyes. As a result, every single irregularity is clearly identified for the surgeon. At that point, the surgeon inputs some data and the machine does the rest of the work. Keep in mind though; since you are getting the most precise and individualized vision correction, you are going to have to pay for it. As a result, waverfront Lasik is the most expensive refractive surgery procedure today.

Lasik Explained

During Lasik Eye Surgery, an eye surgeon uses a microkeratome blade to make a small incision on the patient’s eye. The portion of the eye where the flap is created is called the cornea. Once the incision has been made, the surgeon folds it back to expose the inner portion of the eye, which is called the stoma. Then, the surgeon uses the laser to vaporize a small portion of the stoma, resulting in the eye being reshaped. This reshaping enables the patient to have significantly improved vision. Also, unlike the stoma, the cornea will then heal itself.
