What are the different types of LASIK procedures?
All LASIK procedures use a beam of light from an excimer laser to painlessly reshape the surface of your cornea. Custom LASIK employs a wavefront analyzer in a pre-operative diagnostic exam to make a 3-dimensional map of your eye’s unique features. This individualized map allows your surgeon to customize your treatment and provides potentially better results than conventional LASIK for many, though not all, patients. Bladeless LASIK can help patients with corneas too thin for other LASIK procedures by using a laser to cut a custom corneal flap prior to the vision correction procedure.
