learning more about lasik
what is lasik?
Advanced Technology
LASIK is a procedure that corrects vision by reshaping the cornea
using the precision of excimer laser technology. It is one of the most
popular forms of vision correction due to its accuracy, safety, quick
recovery time, wide range of correction and minimal discomfort. The
entire procedure takes only a short time, both eyes can be done the
same day, and no stitches or patches are necessary.
Blade-Free iLASIK – More Safety,
More Accuracy, 100% Personalized
Most patients are surprised to find that “traditional” LASIK is not
performed entirely with lasers. The first step in traditional LASIK,
creating the flap, is performed using a hand-held mechanical blade
(microkeratome). Only the second step, reshaping the cornea, is
performed using a laser. This blade and laser combination is simply no
longer the safest LASIK procedure available, but unfortunately many
surgeons still use this outdated method.
The Blade-Free LASIK Procedure: Step-by-Step
Since laser vision correction was introduced well over a decade ago,
there have been steady advancements in the technology, leading
to enhanced safety and visual outcomes. Always at the forefront of
technology, it’s no surprise that Eisner Laser Center offers the most
advanced LASIK procedure with iLASIK.
Using Wavefront
technology, we take a
“fingerprint” image and
map of your entire
optical system. This
detailed information
is evaluated by
the surgeon and is
transferred to the laser.
A cool laser beam is
used to reshape the
cornea and eliminate
sources of aberration.
There are multiple
tracking and alignment
systems in place to
ensure both safety and
accuracy throughout
your entire procedure.
A laser is used to create
the corneal flap
with the safety and
precision of a computercontrolled laser beam.
The surgeon then gently
folds this flap back to
prepare the eye for the
treatment laser.
Finally, the protective
flap that was created
in step two is gently
placed back in its
original position. The
cornea begins healing
immediately and you
can return home.
Once the procedure is completed, you will be given additional eye drops.
Your vision will probably be a little blurry at first, so we ask that you
have someone drive you home and that you relax for the rest of the day.
Recovery from LASIK is amazingly fast. At Eisner Laser Center, you can
count on us to be there every step of the way.
With blade-free iLASIK, the metal blade has been eliminated – offering
you a premium level of safety and accuracy. In fact, iLASIK has been
proven so safe that all branches of the U.S. Military and NASA have
approved iLASIK for their service men and women.
Leading the Way in LASIK Technology
Thanks to iLASIK, most people who meet the general age and health
requirements are candidates. iLASIK has earned FDA approval to treat
the broadest range of vision imperfections ever – including mild to
severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. In fact, more
than 94% of the eligible population is now a potential candidate for
iLASIK. So even if you’ve been turned down for laser vision correction
in the past, you may be able to have Blade-Free iLASIK at Eisner Laser
Center.
Merging Technologies
The VISX S4 laser offers you the highest level of accuracy.
This laser is accurate to 0.25 microns, an amazing figure
when you consider a human hair is about 70 microns thick.
And with 3-D Active Eye Tracking technology, it’s the only
system that allows the surgeon to track your eye movement
in all three dimensions.
With the ultra high precision IntraLase laser, creating the
corneal flap is now safer and more accurate. By eliminating
the blade once used in traditional LASIK, our patients enjoy
a premium level of safety.
For the CustomVue treatment we capture a fingerprint of
your vision, which is then transferred to the laser allowing
us to correct minute details in your vision that glasses or
contacts cannot. With CustomVue you may see better than
you ever have before.
As a part of the VISX technology, Iris Registration is very
similar to an eye scanner. This advanced technology maps
points on the iris and focuses the laser using those points.
This creates a more individualized adjustment that in turn,
further improves and enhances the quality of your laser
vision correction treatment.
understanding refractive errors
nearsightedness
Nearsightedness, or myopia, occurs
when the cornea is too curved or the
eye is too long. This causes light to
focus in front of the retina, resulting
in blurry distance vision.
farsightedness
Farsightedness, or hyperopia,
occurs when the cornea is too
flat. This causes light to focus
beyond the retina and results in
blurry near vision.
astigmatism
Astigmatism often occurs
alongside either farsightedness or
nearsightedness. Astigmatism is
when the cornea is shaped like a
football and causes light to focus
on more than one point on the
retina blurring or distorting vision.
presbyopia
Presbyopia is the natural aging process
of the eye that affects everyone, usually
starting around age 40. As we age, the
natural lens in our eye loses flexibility,
decreasing the ability to focus on things
up-close and requiring the need for
reading glasses.

FAQs
Because the cornea is numbed with eye drop anesthesia,
patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
Some patients experience some scratchiness or grittiness for
a few hours following while others did not experience any
discomfort at all. We ask everyone to go home and take a
nap immediately after his or her LASIK procedure.  For any
discomfort that remains after your nap, Advil or Tylenol is
usually sufficient.
During the procedure a device will gently hold your eyelids
open, which will prevent you from blinking. In addition, at
Eisner Laser Center the laser we use involves advanced eye
tracking technology. The laser will be constantly and minutely
adjusted to the position of your eye at any given time. In fact,
every four to six milliseconds the eye’s location is measured
and the laser is automatically aligned. If, at any time, your eye
moves too quickly or out of range, the laser will pause and
wait for your eye to move back into position.

DAY ONE - LASIK
What to expect
The day of your procedure
You will be asked to arrive an hour before your procedure
for pre-operative preparation, which includes both antibiotic
and anesthetic drops to numb your eyes. We will review
your post-operative medications and activity restrictions
at this time and answer any remaining questions you may
have. Please wear comfortable clothing. You will remain
awake during the entire procedure, during which you may
expect to experience little or no pain.
The entire procedure will last approximately 10 minutes.
After surgery, you may experience mild discomfort for 6-8
hours. Since you are just getting used to the freedom of
clearer vision, we ask that someone drive you home and
you relax for the remainder of the day.
The next few days
The day after your procedure, you will have a postoperative
appointment to examine your eyes and to discuss any
questions you may have. Most patients are able to drive
and return to work the next day.
Many patients will experience
significantly improved vision
immediately.* Patients are given drops
to use and protective glasses to wear
during sleep for the next several days. We suggest
you have someone drive you home for a day of rest
and relaxation.
DAY TWO - AFTER LASIK
Your vision is significantly clearer, if
not already 20/20.* You have a postoperative exam to ensure everything
is healing correctly. Most patients are
able to drive and return to work and their everyday
activities, and will continue to notice improvements in
their vision.
DAY THREE - AFTER LASIK
You are feeling great and seeing better
than ever. Your eyes may get a little
tired in the afternoon and you may use
drops if your eyes become dry. Your
future is looking clear and bright.*
What if my eye moves during
the treatment or I blink?
Many patients notice an immediate improvement in their
vision and have functional vision the very next day. Full visual
results are typically reached within one to three weeks but
individual results do vary.
When can I return to work, drive
and to my normal activities?
You can resume most normal activities such as driving,
working, walking, and exercising the day after your
procedure. For women, eye makeup cannot be worn for three
days and they should purchase new mascara. Swimming or
contact sports such as basketball or racquetball should be
delayed for one week.
*Individual results vary.

Most patients who have undergone Blade-Free iLASIK at
Eisner Laser Center no longer need glasses for their daily
activities. However, if you’re over 40 and did not elect for
MonoVision LASIK, there is a possibility that you will need
reading glasses because of the natural aging process of the
eye. This condition, presbyopia, occurs as you get older.
