Procedure
The iLASIK procedure reshapes your cornea to correct your eye’s visual acuity in less than an hour for both eyes. The lasik eye surgeon gives you a comprehensive eye exam and prints your eye’s blueprint thereafter. It’s the blueprint that will give a result that is specifically for your own eyes.
Anesthesia drops will be administered to numb you from the pain while the laser machine makes a thin flap in your cornea. It is this flap that enables the lasik eye surgeon to make the correction. All the actions are computer-aided assuring precision and control over the procedure. Aside from being fast, it is almost painless.
Studies have been conducted on the precision of iLASIK flap thickness. Ilasik’s flap measurement passed FDA’s clearance of the laser. iLASIK provides a consistent flap thickness unmatched in any laser treatment technology up to the present.
Safety
The technology used in the iLASIK procedure has been used for many years. It has been proven to be safe and effective and used in 31.4 million procedures worldwide. In fact, it is the most common non-emergency optical procedure in the United States. To attest to its safety and efficacy, servicemen and women of the U.S. military and NASA including astronauts and Air Force pilots and Naval aviators, underwent iLasik treatment and have never enjoyed their vision better. Results of studies showed that the use of two lasers guarantees safety and clearer vision compared to traditional forms of LASIK in Orange County.
Consultation
Surgeons expect you to ask several questions about the procedure so don’t hesitate to speak out your mind and get all the necessary information that you want to know.
Benefits
iLASIK has unmatched benefits which include correction of the broadest range of vision imperfections, so people can get rid of their glasses and contacts after the procedure.
What to Expect
You will not be under anesthesia during the entire procedure. If there is any medication, it will be oral medications to make you relax.
The most that you will feel is a little pressure while the procedure is ongoing but no pain and discomfort is felt since you will be given eye drops to numb the area.
If you have vision problems in both eyes, it can be treated with iLasik during the same visit.
Outcome
Ninety-eight percent of those who participated in clinical trials reported a 20/20 baseline vision a year after treatment.
With all this in mind it seems as though iLASIK is often the best choice for vision correction if you meet the required criteria.
