LASIK Risk and Complications |
|
 |
As with any procedure, LASIK has
certain risks. Overall, however, the success rate is
truly overwhelming. At One to One LASIK�, we take pride
in choosing technology and methods which we believe
maximize success and satisfaction. During your
pre-procedure visits, we'll review the issue of risk in
detail and take as much time as needed to answer any
questions you may have.
LASIK is performed with a precise, computer-controlled
laser known as an Excimer laser. At One to One LASIK�,
we do not believe in taking a "cookie cutter" approach
to surgery and we do not restrict ourselves to one brand
of laser equipment. We evaluate each patient's
individual needs and choose the laser that we believe to
be the best for their procedure.
The Star S4 Active Track� laser manufactured by VISX�
and the LADARVision� laser manufactured by
Summit/Autonomous� are two of the most commonly used.
Both lasers have proven, worldwide track records and are
FDA-approved for LASIK. Both incorporate
third-generation "tracking" technology which detects
tiny eye movements during the procedure many times each
second and automatically adjusts the laser beam to
compensate for these movements. Both are also leading
the way in a technology sometimes called "Wavefront"
technology or "customized ablation" which addresses even
tiny imperfections in your vision which glasses and
contacts can't correct.
