INTRALASIK: "All-laser" LASIK

Possible Treatment for: Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism
LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) uses a computer-controlled cool excimer laser beam to gently reshape the cornea. This reshaping is performed under a protective flap of corneal tissue. This is to promote rapid recovery and minimize discomfort versus the longer recovery associated with surface treatments like PRK and Supralase.

With the safety of bladeless IntraLase®, the IntraLasik procedure takes only a few minutes, is virtually painless, and can be performed in the comfort of Beach Eye Care's very own laser center.

Whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, LASIK can dramatically improve your vision. The vast majority of patients achieves legal driving vision or better. Beach Eye Care offers "all-laser" LASIK…Wavelight Wavefront Optimize (WWO) or CustomVue™ enriched with IntraLase.

LASIK with the added safety of bladeless IntraLase

Possible treatment for: Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism
LASIK has proven to be a relatively safe procedure, with most LASIK complications related to the creation of the corneal flap. Even in skilled hands, the manually-controlled surgical blade used in a conventional LASIK procedure can be unpredictable.

Now, LASIK is even safer because IntraLase makes it possible to create the flap with a more precise process that works from the "inside out", and greater precision means improved safety and results. Beach Eye Care has been using this technology since 2007.

Only LASIK procedures enriched with the precision of IntraLase can be considered "all-laser."

LASIK and the benefit CustomVue LASIK

Possible treatment for: Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism
Precision. It is vital when we send astronauts to the moon, and it is just as important when it comes to your LASIK procedure.

That is why Beach Eye Care offers WWO or CustomVue LASIK. CustomVue's WaveScan diagnostic system measures the unique characteristics of your eyes much more precisely than standard methods. WaveScan creates a customized map of the unique characteristics of each eye, including refractive errors and irregularities that blur or decrease vision. The data converted into digital instructions and transferred to the laser makes it possible to deliver a precise and accurate procedure.

The technology behind CustomVue was developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space. Down on Earth, the results are every bit as impressive. In a clinical study, 100 percent of patients who had a CustomVue procedure were able to pass a driver's test without glasses or contacts, and 98 percent could see 20/20 or better.
