Customized LASIK Procedure to Correct Blurring of Vision

The LASIK procedure has significantly improved the vision of millions worldwide by correcting common refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

What is Custom LASIK?

Custom LASIK utilizes advanced wavefront technology to analyze individual corneal aberrations, ensuring a more precise correction compared to traditional LASIK. Unlike standard LASIK, which is based on eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions, custom LASIK tailors the procedure to the specific characteristics of each patient’s cornea.

Advantages of Custom LASIK

• More precise vision correction by considering corneal aberrations.
• Enhanced contrast sensitivity and improved night vision.
• Reduced risk of light distortions, such as halos and glare.

Potential Side Effects

As with any procedure, LASIK has potential side effects, including:

• Dry eyes
• Glare, halos, or starbursts around lights
• Blurred or hazy vision
• Light sensitivity
• Overcorrection or under-correction

Most of these side effects subside over time, but in rare cases, they may persist.

Disadvantages of Custom LASIK

• Higher cost compared to traditional LASIK
• Not covered by most insurance plans
• Limited difference in outcomes compared to traditional LASIK for some patients

Correcting Refractive Errors

Whether you choose traditional or custom LASIK, recovery typically takes a few days, with most individuals returning to normal activities within 24 hours. Full visual improvement is usually achieved within a few weeks.

Patient Consultation and Procedure

During the consultation, the eye specialist will assess your eye health, review your medical history, and discuss treatment options. A dedicated patient counselor will assist you with scheduling and payment plans.

Post-Procedure Care

Following the procedure, patients receive detailed post-operative instructions and an eye drop regimen. Regular follow-up appointments will be necessary to ensure proper healing.
