Procedure
Laser vision correction is a surgical treatment for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism that reshapes the cornea. Before the procedure begins, patients are given eye-numbing drops and a mild sedative to relax.
The laser vision correction procedure begins when a tiny flap is created
on the outside of the cornea using all-laser technology (IntraLase).
After testing for alignment, Dr. Blue
uses a computer-controlled excimer laser to reshape the cornea with
microsecond pulses. After the desired shape is achieved, the corneal
flap is replaced. The flap bonds directly to the eye within hours,
which promotes rapid healing. The entire procedure takes approximately
15 minutes.
