What is iLASIK and how does it work?

The finest things in life are custom fit, and vision correction is no exception. The Eye Center of Northern Colorado believes that one size does not fit all when it comes to your eyes. Just like a tailor –made suit or haute couture dress; iLASIK procedure is like haute couture for your eyes!

Allowing unprecedented customization and accuracy, iLASIK makes it possible for the actual laser treatment to be completely customized to the unique characteristics of your eyes. It’s the LASIK experience that you’ve been waiting for to achieve your personal best vision.

iLASIK involves 3 steps

Step One; Customized Measurements

ILASIK addresses the uniqueness of your eyes; individual curvature of your cornea and microscopic nuances of your anatomy. Wavescan 3D mapping creates a blueprint of your eye and Iris Registration ™ reads the exact characteristics of your iris to accurately align the Wavefront treatment.

Step Two; Laser-Created Flap

The Intralase™ FS laser is a computer-guided, ultra-fast laser that is used to create the thin, technologically advanced corneal flap. This allows for an optimal surface below the flap, facilitating the best possible visual outcome. In clinical studies, more people achieved 20/20 or better vision using this technology compared to earlier forms of the procedure.

Step Three; CustomVue

The Advanced CustomVue ™ technology provides the most precise, accurate form of laser vision correction available today. 3D eye tracking ensures that even if your eye moves during the procedure, your treatment remains exact and specific to your customized iLASIK procedure

The safety and effectiveness of iLASIK have been validated by our nation’s most scrutinizing physicians and scientists. Mission critical personnel whose vision is essential to their job have finally been given the green light for LASIK!

NASA approved the iLASIK procedure for its astronauts following review of a decade of extensive military clinical data, showing that the combined use of the Intralase™ and CustomVue ™ lasers provides superior safety.

Additionally, all branches of the U.S. military have approved iLASIK for their servicemen and women, including naval aviators and Air Force pilots.
