Do Different LASIK Technologies Matter?

Evolving technology has benefitted every aspect of LASIK vision correction, from diagnosis to determining the best treatment method to the surgery itself.

The San Francisco LASIK experts at the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley use the most advanced laser vision correction technology to provide you with optimal safety and results.

In evaluating your condition, we utilize Wavefront technology to diagnose specific aspects of your vision problem and use that data to program the laser used to reshape your cornea during your LASIK procedure. Depending on your specific vision problem and the condition of your eyes, we may use one of three advanced laser vision correction systems:

LADARVision
IntraLase
Zyoptix

LADARVision is a versatile laser that gently reshapes your cornea with cool laser light, smoothing the eye’s surface as it works. LADARVision is used in conjunction with LADARTracker, which automatically adjusts for any eye movement during your LASIK surgery.

The IntraLase laser is the first of its kind to allow the creation of the flap necessary to access your cornea for reshaping without the use of a surgical blade. IntraLase provides the ability to create a precise corneal flap without cutting, which is beneficial to patients with thin corneas.

Bausch & Lomb's Zyoptix provides your San Francisco ophthalmologist the ability to address individual refractive variances between your eyes during your LASIK procedure. This provides enhanced consistency in correcting your vision condition.

If you would like to learn more about LASIK surgery options, please contact the skilled San Francisco ophthalmologists and LASIK experts at the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley to schedule a consultation.
