Welcome to DocShop's Patient Education Page devoted to LASIK technology.

LASIK is a state-of-the-art, laser vision correction system designed to provide patients with a high level of safety and accuracy.

Advances in LASIK are taking the technology even further.

IntraLASIK uses IntraLase, a computer-guided laser to help create the corneal flap at the start of the LASIK procedure. This new method uses a beam of light to give the flap exact centration, diameter, and thickness, making the results as precise as possible. It's a bladeless technology which can help put patients at ease knowing that sharp, surgical instruments will not come anywhere near their eyes.

Wavefront Custom LASIK technology involves the use of a laser beam to reflect light back from the eye and measure irregularities on a 3-D map, serving as a blue-print for the eye. This information is then transferred to the laser that will reshape the cornea during surgery. Wavefront-guided LASIK can provide the most accurate and precise results possible.

For more information on the latest technology, and to find out the types of LASIK technology used by surgeons in your area, contact a physician near you through DocShop-dot-com.
