LASIK Eye Surgery in Houston, Texas
Get the Benefit of the Latest Advancements in LASIK at the Whitsett Vision Group
If you would like to enjoy life without eyeglasses or contacts, LASIK laser vision correction may be the solution. Millions of Americans have experienced the benefits of LASIK since it was approved to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism.
LASIK (Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) utilizes a cool beam excimer laser, initially developed by IBM, to reshape the cornea and correct the way light enters the eye and is focused on the retina. The excimer laser beam is so precise it takes 200 pulses to cut through a single eyelash!
The Whitsett Vision Group stays up-to-date on all of the advancements in laser eye surgery including, but not limited to:
CustomVue® and Wavefront-guided LASIK technology allows eye surgeons to create a 3-dimensional detailed map of each eye. By tailoring the procedure to each individual patient’s needs, surgeons are able to produce the best possible results from their surgery in terms of how well and how much you can see.
ILASIK utilizes IntraLase® technology to provide an all-laser, blade-free LASIK procedure. IntraLase® provides a less invasive, controlled approach to the important first step in LASIK – making the corneal flap. This step, traditionally performed with a surgical blade, is enhanced by the Intralase® femtosecond laser’s micron-level accuracy. ILASIK is approved for NAVY Seals and NASA personnel.
All of these advancements make LASIK safer and more precise than ever!
