Then he will reshape the deeper layers of your cornea using an excimer laser. In this way, he can improve the way that your eye refracts light. Ideally, it should focus in the very center of your retina.
LASIK has a remarkably high success rate, and it poses few long-term risks. In most cases, these results will last the rest of your life. In many cases, you will no longer need glasses, meaning you can see the world without frames in your peripheral vision.
It will also make it easier to travel, play sports, and enjoy many other physical activities. Finally, if you are a pilot or a member of the military, LASIK can have important benefits for your career.
With this mapping, laser technology can be used to make precise and specific alterations to the shape of the cornea. This allows patients to correct not only common, lower-order aberrations, but also more complex, higher-order aberrations, something that is not possible with traditional LASIK. Rather than creating the corneal flap with a bladed instrument, Dr. Goldberg is able to use a laser.
If you are looking to treat vision impairment and would like to learn more about this advanced technique, schedule an appointment with Dr. In general, laser vision correction, whether LASIK or PRK, can be peformed as conventional laser eye surgery, wavefront guided laser eye surgery, or wavefront optimized laser eye surgery. An invisible, infra-red laser is shined into your eye and then it bounces back off of the retina in the back of your eye.
The returning wave of light generated by this laser is distorted and affected by all the focusing elements of the eye on its light flow journey back out through your eye. The distorted wave of light that comes out of your eye is a measurement of light flow thorugh your eye.
Your optical fingerprint is downloaded into the laser and reproduced onto your eye with billionth of an inch tolerances. There are today various generations of wavefront technology. I personally prefer to use the VISX S4 IR laser which employs Fourier algorithms, iris registration systems, and three dimensional eye tracking to give what I consider to be the state of the art in wavefront guided treatment. Wavefront-optimized LASIK is in many ways simply conventional surgery, but with modifications based on wavefront modeling and wavefront theory to improve outcomes beyond standard conventional LASIK.
With wavefront-optimized LASIK, a refraction is still performed on the patient to generate a precription to be entered into the laser, as is the case with standard conventional surgery.
