You're Probably A Candidate

The reality is that the majority of people who meet the age and general health requirements are in fact good candidates for the iLASIK Procedure. There are some conditions that exclude certain patients, but whether you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or have lost your reading vision, there's a good chance you can still have the iLASIK Procedure.

If you meet the basic criteria below, you should contact an iLASIK surgeon and schedule a personal consultation. You can locate an iLASIK certified surgeon at www.iLASIK.com.

• You are at least 21 years old
• You are in good general health
• You have had a stable vision prescription for at least one year
• You have no existing eye disease

The iLASIK Procedure - The Basics

The iLASIK Procedure takes only minutes. It reshapes your cornea to correct the refractive imperfections in your eye (these imperfections are essentially the reason you are nearsighted, farsighted, etc). Here's what happens:

1. You get an extensive exam by an iLASIK surgeon
2. Computers/software are used to make an individual blueprint of each eye; this blueprint is used to drive your laser correction and is what gives you a truly customized result
3. A laser is used to make a thin flap in your cornea
1. You'll be given numbing drops to reduce any sensation
2. This flap enables the surgeon to make the iLASIK Procedure correction
4. A second laser is used to make the correction to your cornea, based on your unique vision/eye characteristics
1. This correction is completely computer driven
2. It's safe, fast and virtually painless
