www.californialasiksurgery.org The most commonly used refractive surgery procedure is the lasik eye surgery procedure and this is a very popular form of surgery that has the advantage of being less painful and resulting in a 20/20 vision in most cases, usually on the very next day. The basic lasik eye surgery procedure involves an instrument which is known as a microkeratome which is used in the surgery to create a thin and round flap in the cornea. The surgeon will take the flap and fold it back so that it is not in the way and then takes away some corneal tissue that is underneath with the help of an excimer laser which uses cool ultraviolet light beams to exactly remove very small bits of tissue from the cornea in order to reform it. Once the cornea is reformed into the correct shape it will work in an improved manner and focuses light into the eye as also onto the retina thereby getting the person to see clearly which will be better than what it was before the lasik eye surgery procedure. Afterwards, the flap is replaced back in place and covers the area where the corneal tissue had been removed.lasik eye centerlasik laser eye surgerycorrective laser ey

Christian is an avid surfer. We were able to do wavefront guided LASIK with the Intralase to create a thin flap in his right eye (-9D)but his left was too nearsighted (-12D) so we inserted a phakic lens implant 2 years ago. He now has 20/15 vision in the right and 20/12 in the left and is very happy with the quality of vision in both eyes, not favoring one over the other.

Adelle had LASIK Surgery north of Philadelphia, PA. Her Laser Vision Correction was successful and changed her life. Although she lives in New Jersey she travelled to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and Dr. James Lewis at ihatemyglasses.com for LASIK eye surgery in Elkins Park. She weighed the costs, benefits, and alternatives when she stopped wearing her contact lenses and glasses. She is happy she choose Laser Eye Surgery and Dr. Lewis, a Wills Eye Surgeon.
