LASIK Vision Correction

Advanced bladeless LASIK surgery for clear vision without glasses

What is LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a refractive procedure that corrects vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea using a laser. This procedure reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses in many patients.

100% Bladeless LASIK Technology

Bladeless LASIK Technology

At New York Ophthalmology, we utilize 100% bladeless LASIK with the Intralase femtosecond laser. This high-precision, computer-controlled laser creates a corneal flap without the use of any blade, allowing for a more precise corneal incision with accuracy and depth.

Advantages of LASIK over PRK

  • Less postoperative discomfort
  • Quicker visual recovery
  • Ability to have both eyes corrected within days
  • Shorter duration for using eye drops (approximately one week)
  • Capability to correct higher levels of nearsightedness
  • High success rate
  • Reduced dependence on glasses and contacts
  • Long-lasting results

The LASIK Process

LASIK Eye Surgery Process
  1. Comprehensive eye examination and consultation
  2. Corneal mapping and measurements with advanced imaging
  3. Bladeless flap creation using Intralase femtosecond laser
  4. Excimer laser treatment to reshape the cornea (typically 10-15 minutes per eye)
  5. Flap repositioning and immediate post-operative care
  6. Follow-up appointments and monitoring
