i-Lasik Laser

i-Lasik Laser
• Purpose of the Treatment
iLASIK is an advanced, bladeless laser eye surgery designed to correct refractive vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. It combines two sophisticated laser technologies—femtosecond laser and custom wavefront-guided excimer laser—to deliver a highly personalized and precise vision correction. The goal is to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
• Pre-Treatment Consultation
A detailed eye exam is required before iLASIK. During the consultation, your ophthalmologist will:
-
Measure your corneal thickness
-
Assess the shape and curvature of your eyes using 3D imaging
-
Perform wavefront analysis to map visual imperfections
-
Ensure you have stable vision and no contraindications such as corneal disease or chronic dry eye
This process helps determine if you’re a good candidate for iLASIK and allows for a customized treatment plan.
• Before and After the Treatment
The iLASIK procedure is painless, quick (usually about 10–15 minutes per eye), and does not require general anesthesia. Most patients report improved vision within 24 hours. Mild dryness, glare, or light sensitivity may occur during the initial healing period. Visual results stabilize over a few weeks. Because it’s bladeless and tailored to the patient, iLASIK tends to offer faster recovery and fewer complications compared to traditional LASIK.
• Who Can Benefit from iLASIK?
iLASIK is suitable for individuals who:
-
Are 18 years or older
-
Have had stable vision for at least 12 months
-
Have no eye infections, diseases, or uncontrolled autoimmune disorders
-
Are seeking a customized, bladeless alternative to traditional LASIK
It’s especially ideal for people who want high-definition night vision or participate in activities requiring visual precision.
• How is the Treatment Performed?
iLASIK is a two-step, all-laser procedure:
-
Femtosecond laser creates a precise corneal flap without a blade.
-
Custom wavefront-guided excimer laser reshapes the cornea based on detailed optical mapping unique to your eyes.
After the reshaping, the flap is repositioned to heal naturally. The entire process is computer-guided and highly accurate.
• Treatment Options for iLASIK
While iLASIK is itself a refined version of LASIK, alternative options for vision correction include:
-
Standard LASIK (uses a blade for the flap)
-
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) for thinner corneas
-
SMILE Surgery (another bladeless technique)
-
Phakic IOLs (Implantable Contact Lenses) for those not eligible for laser surgery
