Is an bladeless iLASIK procedure safer?
Yes. When compared with traditional LASIK, the more precise iLASIK bladeless procedure has an enhanced safety profile and improved visual results. Precise flap thickness is critical to a successful LASIK outcome. Bladeless iLASIK flaps feature a consistent thickness from edge to edge. This degree of accuracy is unprecedented in flap creation technology. Some surgeons who do not offer bladeless iLASIK technology say that it is just a “gimmick” that makes it possible to charge more for LASIK. Is this true? Our doctors are committed to offering their patients the most advanced technology available…they do not invest in “gimmicks” or technology of questionable benefit. You may be interested to know that the United States Navy recently tested bladeless iLASIK technology to create LASIK flaps for naval aviators. Previously, LASIK vision correction was off-limits for these pilots because of concerns with vision quality following the procedure. According to the Navy’s studies, a bladeless iLAS
