LASIK, the Basics
During LASIK, Dr. Sandy T. Feldman gently reshapes the cornea with an excimer laser to correct the patient’s vision to reduce or eliminate the need to wear contacts or spectacles. This simple vision correction procedure is an effective treatment for patients with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism and presbyopia. Alternative vision correction surgeries for patients who are not candidates for LASIK include PRK, LASEK and Implantable Contact Lenses.
Prior to surgery, the patient will need to undergo a thorough consultation with the ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center team where a number of tests and measurements are taken in order to determine the precise amount of laser correction needed.
On surgery day, the patient’s eyes are re-examined and any last minute measurements and testing is done before the eyes are anesthetized.
The LASIK procedure begins by creating the corneal flap using the IntraLase method. The corneal flap is folded back and the cornea is exposed so the excimer laser treatment can begin. The laser reshapes the cornea to precisely correct the patient’s vision based on the their individual prescription. The corneal flap is folded back into place, where is serves as a natural bandage as the eye heals. Click here to see a video of the LASIK procedure.

iLASIK Revolutionizes LASIK in La Jolla
iLASIK, also known as the all laser method of LASIK vision correction, is a revolution in LASIK surgery. Representing a decade’s worth of technological advancements, the laser vision correction procedure is safer and more precise than ever before.
The iLASIK procedure begins with a thorough examination by the ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center team. Using the WaveScan wavefront system, a 3-D blueprint of the patient’s visual imperfections is made and transferred to the Excimer laser.
Two lasers are used to customize the patient’s treatment during the LASIK procedure. The IntraLase laser is used to create the corneal flap. The VISX Excimer laser is then used to gently reshape the cornea for precise vision.
With iLASIK, no two people get the same treatment and almost all patients achieve 20/20 vision, studies have shown that 98% have 20/20 vision or better in low to moderately nearsighted individuals with or without astigmatism.
LASIK in La Jolla and all over San Diego just got better. To find out more about iLASIK or to schedule a complimentary vision correction evaluation, contact us.
