LASIK Eye Surgery at Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center
Introduction to LASIK
LASIK (Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) is the most commonly performed laser vision correction surgery procedure for patients suffering from nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. At Clearview LASIK in San Diego, we use the most advanced and reliable LASIK technology, such as iDesign Refractive Studio and SMILE LASIK
Our Advanced LASIK Technology
The iDesign® Refractive Studio personalizes LASIK treatment using advanced, FDA-approved, all-laser technology. It takes approximately 1,257 precise measurements of the topography and imperfections of your eye to customize your treatment.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the fastest-growing laser vision correction procedure, treating nearsightedness and astigmatism. It is minimally invasive and flapless, leading to rapid recovery times.
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA/PRK)
ASA, an advanced form of PRK, is ideal for patients with thinner corneas, those involved in high-contact activities, and individuals who have had previous laser vision correction surgery, as it does not involve creating a flap.
History of LASIK
The FDA first approved laser vision correction surgery in the US in 1995. Since then, LASIK technology has advanced significantly, allowing for truly personalized surgeries. Click here to learn how the eye works
Understanding Refractive Surgery
Refractive Surgery, including LASIK, improves vision by reshaping the cornea with precise laser beams, allowing your eye to refract light more accurately onto the retina. The two main methods are Wavefront-Guided and Topography-Driven, with the most advanced being the iDesign Refractive Studio, the first and only FDA-approved system combining both methods.
Choosing the Best Procedure for You
At Clearview, we believe there is no single procedure suitable for everyone. The right treatment for you depends on:
- Your Prescription: The amount of correction needed.
- Corneal Thickness: The structure and thickness of your cornea.
- Lifestyle: Your daily activities and any prior surgeries.
