LASIK is the acronym for Laser Assisted in-Situ Keratomileusis. It's a process that reduces or eliminates nearsightedness or farsightedness with or without astigmatism.
Lasik Eye Surgery Wisconsin corrects nearsightedness by flattening the cornea. The first step is a small amount of the cornea is vaporized to create the corneal flap with the VISX S4 custom laser. Other processes use a razor blade to do this. The laser vision correction procedure has blade-free interlays. After the laser correction where the cornea is re-shaped, the flap is then placed back in its original position and remains in place without stitches. The laser treatment will take only about 30 seconds. Farsightedness correction also goes through the same process, but instead of flattening the cornea, it is steeped.
Valley Eye performs Lasik in Wisconsin and is the most experienced clinic in Wisconsin employing the use of the ultra-fast and ultra-safe Femtosecond laser known also as IntraLASE since 2002. The use of iLASIK which means "all laser LASIK", makes use of the IntraLASE to make the flap, and the VISX S4 excimer laser to correct your vision defect. All the equipment mentioned here are lasers used in the eye correction procedure. That's why after the treatment there are no sutures on the eye. Even the thin flap will heal in a few seconds after it is laid back in place.
For eye correction procedures at Lasik Wisconsin Surgery, one should first undergo evaluation to be a qualified candidate to undergo the process. As with all other delicate surgeries, one has to pass a medical examination before becoming a candidate to go "under the laser". There are a lot of measurements to be made on the eyes and also instructions to follow prior to the treatment. The process takes only a few minutes and does not require anesthesia.
