What is involved in laser vision correction?

Many patients ask, "How does laser vision correction work?" The laser removes tissue from the center of the cornea (in the case of Myopia) to flatten corneal curvature and correct nearsightedness. In the case of farsightedness (Hyperopia), tissue is removed from the periphery of the cornea to steepen the curvature. The laser essentially reshapes the cornea’s front surface. Tissue is removed in a precise fashion on a microscopic level, leaving adjacent tissue intact. The cornea is sculpted into a more desirable shape, gently and precisely allowing rays of light to focus properly on the retina.

LASIK has gone through many advancements, evolving from ALK and PRK. To learn more about LASIK and other laser vision correction procedures, contact our office serving Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas today!

The History of IntraLASIK

Laser vision correction surgery has become increasingly popular due to advances in technology and convenient access to surgical centers. More than 1 million procedures are performed each year in the United States. LASIK is a two-step procedure:

1. Making the corneal flap.

2. Excimer laser treatment to reshape the cornea and placing the flap back down.

Advances in excimer laser technology now make it possible to correct a more extensive range of refractive error; however the performance of the mechanical microkeratome and surgical blade used during LASIK surgery to create the corneal flap can be less predictable. For this reason, we now offer all laser Custom IntraLASIK with the IntraLase® laser, the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q and VISX Star 4 lasers. Schedule a vision correction consultation at our Dallas and Fort Worth area practice to learn more about all laser LASIK.
