slide 1: Lasik Eye Surgery Cost at Phoenix AZ
Refractory errors of eyes are invariably experienced by a vast majority of people world over.
Continuous advancements in technology and techniques used for correcting refractory errors of
eyes have provided most accurate precise and safe surgical options to eye surgeons.
Advent of Lasik surgery Arizona has helped patients get treatment for their refractory errors
like nearsightedness myopia farsightedness hyperopia or astigmatism through more
constantly monitored efficient and safe surgical procedures.
In individuals having eyes with normal vision the cornea bends i.e. refracts the light precisely
onto the retina at the back of their eye. But in individuals with refractory errors like
nearsightedness Myopia farsightedness Hyperopia or Astigmatism the light bents
incorrectly resulting in blurred vision.
slide 2: Without doubt wearing glasses or contact lenses can correct vision but reshaping the cornea
itself through Lasik surgery will also provide the necessary correct refraction. Laser-assisted in
situ keratomileusis i.e. LASIK has been found to be an effective alternative to glasses or contact
lenses.
Conventional Lasik vs. IntraLasik procedures
The surgical procedures are almost same in both Conventional as well as IntraLasic vision
correction surgeries.
In both procedures a corneal flap is created using laser and pulled back to allow other excimer
laser to ablate corneal tissue in microscopic amounts to correct the corneal surface and
reshape cornea to remove refectory errors.
The difference actually lies in usage of microkeratome blade - a very thin and machine-
operated blade that oscillates back-and-forth very quickly.
Whereas IntraLASIK procedure does not utilize a blade for creating or creating the corneal flap.
Instead of using microkeratome blade eye surgeons use a femtosecond laser.
This facilitates eye surgeons to have better access and control over the thickness of the created
flap and prevent any inconsistencies in thickness that may occur while using microkeratome
blade in conventional Lasik surgery.
