LASIK
What Is LASIK?
LASIK is the most technologically advanced way to reduce your dependency on glasses or contacts. LASIK is a two-step process. First, a flap is created using a laser keratome, and then an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea or the surface of the eye. This alters the way light rays enter the eyes to achieve focus, in much of the same way that they are altered through glasses or contacts.
How Is LASIK Performed?
LASIK is a two-step process. First a flap is created in the cornea with a precise laser known as IntraLase. The flap is then gently lifted to move to the second step. The Allegretto Wave® excimer laser then sculpts your prescription to the middle layer of the cornea. The flap is then laid back into place where it adheres like a decal, without 
sutures. An advantage to LASIK is that the surface cells of the cornea remain intact. This allows for faster stabilization of your vision and enhanced comfort.
