Bladeless LASIK

Woolfson LasikLASIK surgery may be elective, but good vision is not. We understand how valuable your sight is to you, and we keep our sights set on providing safe and advanced technologies for our patients. That is why Bladeless LASIK using the IntraLase® laser is a technology chosen for our Centers.

 

What is Bladeless LASIK?

In the LASIK and CustomLASIK procedures, a flap of corneal tissue must be created and then folded back. The cornea is the transparent dome-like structure that covers the iris and pupil of your eye. By creating a flap in the cornea, Dr. Woolfson is able to perform the laser vision correction treatment on the inner layer of the cornea and allows for a rapid visual recovery.

Woolfson LasikWith Bladeless LASIK, Dr. Woolfson uses a laser to create the corneal flap. This technology enables Dr. Woolfson the ability to customize the corneal flap for every individual patient. In recent studies done by IntraLase, this technology may now make it possible to treat those who were previously dismissed as non-candidates due to thin corneas.

 

* Studies have shown the incidence of dry eye symptoms may be reduced with Bladeless LASIK.

* With Bladeless LASIK and its customization components, surgeons can treat a wider variety of patients, including patients with thin corneas.

* Bladeless LASIK has been used in more than one million LASIK procedures worldwide.

 

   

"Have you ever felt that you've been given a new lease on life? That's exactly how I feel since I've had LASIK. Instead of green fuzz around a tree trunk, I can now actually see the outline of the leaves. I have the chance again to enjoy so many of the little things in our everyday life that we take so much for granted. Thank you so much, Dr. Woolfson, for renewing my eyesight and giving me the chance to see clearly again."
