LASIK Vision Correction
If you want to see without depending on glasses or contacts, consider LASIK vision correction. This simple outpatient procedure reshapes the cornea to correct most cases of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, in any combination. LASIK is extremely safe; all branches of the U.S. military and NASA have approved LASIK surgery for their service people. And it can change your life in a matter of minutes. After LASIK, you'll never have to think about glasses or contacts again. No more squinting just to see the alarm clock in the morning. You'll be able to drive, swim and participate in other activities without worrying about your eyewear. And just think of the cost savings over your lifetime.
The specialists at Eye Surgical Associates are experts in LASIK surgery. While other providers still use a blade to perform LASIK surgery, Eye Surgical Associates only offers the safer, more accurate bladeless alternative. We are the most experienced bladeless LASIK provider in Central Illinois, and one of only 150 in the United States. Our doctors perform the procedure using the latest technology and equipment. With 70 years of combined surgical experience, they have performed more than 10,000 LASIK surgeries and continue to receive an extremely high number of client referrals because of their proven success.
The Benefits of Bladeless LASIK
LASIK, or laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, is a two-step surgery in which a thin layer of the cornea is lifted and the inner cornea is sculpted to correct its shape and allow for better vision. When both steps are done with lasers instead of blades, the surgery is called iLASIK. This is the only form of LASIK surgery performed at Eye Surgical Associates because it is quicker, more accurate and safer than traditional methods. In the first step of iLASIK, the specialized IntraLase® laser forms the corneal flap and creates a much cleaner edge than is possible with a blade. During the second step, our surgeons employs the Advanced CustomVue™ procedure with WaveScan Technology and the VISX® STAR S4 excimer laser. This technology allows our surgeons to measure the imperfections in the eye with a level of precision that's 25 times that of standard methods. Our surgeons then use the data to create a blueprint of the eye that's as unique as a fingerprint, allowing for custom vision correction. The process is completely computer-driven, reducing the risk of human error.
At Eye Surgical Associates, your comfort is our priority. The procedure does not hurt and both eyes can be corrected in the same session — in less than 10 minutes per eye. You will notice an improvement in your vision by the next morning, and you can return to your normal activities within a day or two.
