LASIK vision correction…
LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomilusis) uses the computer-controlled cool excimer laser beam to gently reshape the cornea. This reshaping is performed under a protective flap of corneal tissue to promote rapid recovery and minimize discomfort.
The LASIK procedure takes only a few minutes, is virtually painless, and can be performed in the comfort of our very own laser center.
Whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, LASIK laser vision correction can dramatically improve your vision. The vast majority of patients achieve legal driving vision or better.
…...with the precision of CustomVue™ LASIK
Precision. It's vital when we're sending astronauts to the moon, and it is just as important when it comes to your LASIK laser vision correction procedure.
That is why Shiller Vision Center offers high-definition CustomVue™ LASIK. CustomVue's WaveScan wavefront diagnostic system measures the unique characteristics of your eyes much more precisely than standard methods used for fitting eyeglasses and contact lenses. WaveScan creates a customized map of the unique characteristics of each eye, including refractive errors and irregularities that blur or decrease vision. The WaveScan software converts this data into digital instructions that are transferred to the laser and make it possible to deliver a precise and accurate procedure.
The technology behind CustomVue was developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space. Down on Earth, the results are every bit as impressive. In a clinical study, 100 percent of patients who had a CustomVue procedure were able to pass a driving test without glasses or contacts, and 98 percent could see 20/20 or better!
