Introducing Advanced iLASIK™ Surgery for Superior Vision
iLASIK™ is an innovative vision correction surgery procedure offered at our Northern New Jersey practice in Ridgewood, Bergen County that combines the benefits of IntraLASIK and Custom LASIK in one efficient procedure for optimal vision enhancement. In fact, it has been reported that many iLASIK™ patients have achieved 20/20 vision or better.
This all-laser procedure uses WaveScan® technology, which is used to create a unique, detailed map of the eye, and combines it with Advanced CustomVue™ for a truly customized LASIK experience. Unlike traditional LASIK surgery in which a microkeratome is used to create the corneal flap, iLASIK™ uses the IntraLase® laser for a completely blade-free procedure. Because of the accuracy and exceptional precision of the technology used in the procedure, iLASIK™ produces consistently outstanding results with few potential complications.
The Vision Correction Surgery Procedure Trusted by NASA and the Military
Because the iLASIK™ procedure delivers incredibly safe and effective results, both NASA and the U.S. Military have cleared its use to enhance the vision of their most elite personnel, including astronauts, Naval aviators, and Air Force pilots. Previously, refractive surgery was not approved for astronauts and military pilots. But the decision to approve its use was made after the Department of Defense reviewed extensive clinical data that validated the use of both IntraLASIK and Custom LASIK together for vision excellence. Among the clinical trials, the Department of Defense found:
- 95 out of 100 military personnel who received Custom LASIK treatment achieved vision correction of 20/20 or better
- 698 Navy pilots out of 785 aviators (89 percent) said their ability to land on an aircraft carrier was considerably better after vision correction surgery
- 90 percent of marksmen who underwent vision correction surgery saw a significant improvement in their already-precise marksmanship skills
It is no wonder why the Department of Defense trusts iLASIK™ for the sharpest vision possible. Now you can experience the benefits of this revolutionary procedure for yourself. Contact Norden Laser Eye today to schedule an initial consultation for iLASIK™ vision correction surgery with our experienced eye surgeon.
Candidates for iLASIK™
Whether you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, the majority of people who wear contacts or glasses and are interested in vision correction using iLASIK™ are candidates for surgery at our Ridgewood- and Bergen County, Northern New Jersey-area practice. Since some conditions may preclude individuals from undergoing the procedure, those who are interested in iLASIK™ must schedule a free initial consultation with Dr. Norden to determine whether they are eligible. Good candidates are adults who are in good general health, have maintained a stable eye prescription for at least one year, and do not have any existing eye infections or diseases. In addition, candidates should have a thorough understanding of the iLASIK™ procedure as well as its benefits and risks to ensure the most successful surgical results.
The iLASIK™ Procedure
Before the iLASIK™ procedure, a three dimensional map of the eye is created using the WaveScan® system. This map gives Dr. Norden an exclusive look at the unique imperfections of the eye. This digital information is then transferred to the laser which alters the shape of the cornea accordingly.
Next, the advanced IntraLase® laser is used to create a corneal flap. This innovative, accurate, and blade-free approach virtually eliminates the already-minimal chance of complications occurring during the procedure.
During the second part of the iLASIK™ procedure, a computer-guided excimer laser is used to perform a more precise correction that is customized to the unique vision needs of the patient. Click here to view the iLASIK™ procedure video.
