C OR R E leading the way to better vision AS N R L D CL welcome to eisner laser center advanced technology Eisner Laser Center offers the most advanced LASIK procedure - iLASIK 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combination is simply no longer the safest LASIK procedure available, but unfortunately many surgeons still use this outdated method.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. what to expect 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. When will I be able to see? Will I need to wear glasses after? Does LASIK hurt? 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. unsurpassed results take the next step “After iLASIK, I now see 20/20 without glasses and contacts!
