This is the place to get some of the facts you need.



You could ask a friend...or someone else who has had the surgery...But odds are they don't really know all the facts. They may have had a good outcome, and may be able to tell you that they liked or disliked the surgeon. Where can you turn to get the FACTS!!

LASIK Fact Number Four - All Lasers Are NOT Created Equal

Even when a surgeon advertises that they are using a modern laser, they may not have spent the money to have all of the software and hardware upgrades installed. And those newer features are VERY important in terms of your results!!

The newest generation of lasers, combines CustomVue technology, pupil tracking and iris registration for increased accuracy.

    * CustomVue analyzes different ways that light is affected by the eye and corrects it for less chance of glare and halos

    * Pupil tracking allows the laser to track the eye, and move with it to ensure that each laser spot is placed correctly

    * Iris registration creates a 'fingerprint-like' map of the iris, and uses it as a reference point for increased precision

The laser that the best surgeons use is constantly upgraded, maintained to the highest standards, and calibrated between each patient. And since it has all of the latest hardware and software updates, you can be assured of the best chance of a great outcome, and the smallest chance of experiencing any problems!

As with some of the previous of the "7 LASIK facts that you need to know", this one goes to accuracy as much as anything else. You want one surgery, done right the first time! Make sure that your surgeon does not compromise on quality. Ask if the best and latest technology is being used. If the answer is no....say goodbye!
