New Laser Vision Correction Technology Gives Vision Improvement Without the Wait


Lasik eye surgery has been around for several years now, and the procedure has helped thousands of people see more clearly. And as with most medical technological advances, Laser Vision Correction has taken on a more precise technique that gives patients a quicker recovery, less risk and very importantly, allows them to see better within a day or two of the surgery.

The Lasik Eye Center in Columbia, SC Leads the Field in Laser Vision Correction Eye Surgery

By using the Visx STAR S4 Excimer Laser, the Lasik Eye Center physicians provide patients with the most accurate results in vision correction. The high tech device uses two separate lasers to reshape the cornea and thus eliminates the previous practice of combining blades and lasers to make the corrections.  Additionally, by using the STAR S4 Excimer Laser, doctors at The Eye Center in Columbia can combine the Variable Spot Scanning and the Variable Repetition Rate features. And by using these procedures, known as the Advanced CustomVue procedure, the entire process is accomplished quickly, and the thermal heating of the cornea is reduced.

Benefits of the Advanced Laser Technology

To say that the improvement in Laser Vision Correction provides key benefits is an understatement. Here are a few of the benefits:
       Immediate vision improvement
       Reduced patient pain
       Reduced recovery time since the entire procedure is accomplished with lasers, not blades
       Reduced risk for complications due to using blades
       More precision reshaping of the cornea, thus improving vision to a higher degree
       No need to dilate the eyes

Laser Vision Correction Candidates

When diagnosed with nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia), with or without astigmatism, you will most likely be a good candidate for Lasik surgery. For those living in the Columbia South Carolina area, visit the website for The Eye Center. There is a wealth of information, from “What is Lasik surgery?” to a full description of each physician to a Lasik education section to answer all your questions. The professional staff is available to provide all the information you need to make the decision to improve your vision and see the world in a whole new light.
