Lasik Eye Surgery
Blade FREE Lasik Orange County
Which is better? Blade, bladeless, or blade-free Lasik? Let’s start by defining what these three (3) mean to patients researching Lasik eye surgery to correct your vision. The phrases “blade” and bladeless” come up often when patients research Lasik. What do they mean? Traditionally, Lasik uses an instrument called a microkeratome which cuts a thin flap of the eye’s cornea or transparent surface. n the past, that flap was lifted, and laser energy was used to reshape your eye to correct your vision. In 1999, a new technique was introduced using a high-energy laser called the femtosecond laser instead of a blade. It was the first FDA-approved bladeless flap.

Personalized Lasik Treatment
Lasik surgery continues to improve, delivering better results with each passing year. At Advanced Eye Medical, we focus on providing our patients with cutting-edge treatments using technology at the orefront of medicine. That is why we have incorporated the iDesign Refractive Studio into our laser eye procedures.
IDesign Refractive Studio
From Johnson & Johnson Vision, the iDesign Refractive Studio allows us to customize your Lasik surgery like never before. It is the only approved system to use topography-integrated, wavefront-guided echnology.
That means it allows us to measure your eyes inside and out with the highest precision available. These ultra-precise measurements then provide us with information to fully customize your Lasik procedure.
It has been approved to help patients with:
- Myopia
- Hyperopia
- Mixed astigmatism
Lasik eye surgery has become a great option for those who want to improve their vision. Here is a description of how your vision is corrected and what eye conditions benefit most from this impressive procedure.
Lasik and the Anatomy of Your Eye
Most Lasik procedures involve working on the cornea of the eye. Positioned in front of the iris and pupil, this small structure acts like a window. Light passes through the corneal structure and the shape of the cornea determines how the light is bent. A misshapen cornea will bend light abnormally so that it is not properly focused on the retina of your eye. With Lasik surgery, the misshapen cornea is fixed so that light is properly focused on your retina, ensuring crisp and clear vision.
Visual Conditions that Lasik Corrects
There are four primary visual issues that you might consider having Lasik surgery for. Each issue entails a different variation of Lasik.
- Farsightedness: This condition is characterized by difficulty seeing up-close objects. When surgeons are performing Lasik for this condition, they are looking to add more of a curve to your cornea. They target the central corneal tissue with the laser to enhance the curve’s profile. They also remove corneal tissue to ensure proper light focus on the retina.
- Nearsightedness: This condition is characterized by difficulty seeing far away objects. To use Lasik for this condition, surgeons need to remove inner layer tissue from the cornea. A laser is used to remove an exact amount of tissue to flatten an excessive curvature to reshape the cornea.
- Presbyopia: This is common in middle age and affects your ability to focus on nearby objects. While Lasik is not commonly used for this, the procedure is exactly like the one used for nearsightedness.
- Astigmatism: This condition is characterized by your cornea looking more like a football than a smooth tennis ball. This prevents light from properly focusing on the retina, resulting in blurry vision. Surgeons flatten the corneal curve, making it more spherical for proper light refraction.
For Long-lasting Results
Now that you understand the basic structure of the eye and how Lasik works to correct certain irregularities, the next step is to consult with a qualified, Board Certified Opthamologist to determine your best course of treatment.
