Lasik is the new name in the medical world to get from the ugly spectacles.
LASIK is a medical terminology which stands for Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis. As the name itself suggests, it uses an excimer laser beam to be focused in your eye area, which then corrects vision problems by reshaping your corneal tissue. The word excimer actually is an alliance of two words, which are ‘excited’ and ‘dimer’. Dimer is a type of molecule which gets formed when certain inert and reactive gases are artificially electrified. LASIK eye institutes employ this technology to treat vision problems such as hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. LASIK surgery in Los Angeles caters to these needs. But it doesn’t come in handy to treat age related vision abnormalities such as in case of presbyopia, which is caused due to stiffening of eye lens and weakening of eye muscles. Any reputable LASIK eye surgeon would not recommend its use for correcting presbyopia. LASIK surgery in Los Angeles is done on an entirely out- patient basis. The patient needs to reach the clinic at least one hour prior to the surgery to be prepared for it both physically and psychologically.

LASIK surgery in Los Angeles comes with a variety of alternatives, all of which are considered by your ophthalmologist in detail before recommending the one that is best suited for your individual needs. Traditional LASIK and Intralase LASIK are themselves different procedures. In traditional LASIK procedure, a tool called microkeratome is used to create a flap which it does by lifting a thin corneal layer. On the other hand in a newer version called Intralase LASIK, no blade is used and instead, a laser beam is utilized for serving this purpose. Intralase LASIK is more popular because of better results that it gives. Not only the vision is better corrected, other complications such as Dry eye symptoms are also minimal. Those who get Intralase LASIK done in one eye and Traditional LASIK in another, rate their vision results as three times better in case of the former. Intralase combined with Custom Wave front LASIK, also available in Lasik Orange County has produced some of the best and safest results ever in the history of eye correction surgeries which have been done all over the world. Wave front technology provides a 3- dimensional picture of your eye on a computer screen which tells exactly where the problem lies.
