More About Laser Eye Surgery at Northern California Laser Center
Dr. Ash is a highly experienced Merced LASIK surgeon who received his specialty training in refractive surgery at the prestigious Tufts University in Boston. For LASIK surgery, Dr. Ash uses the VISX CustomVue wavefront-guided laser system. This advanced technology laser system provides a highly accurate measurement of the corneal curvature and then creates an individualized laser beam to correct each patient’s vision. To create the corneal flap, Dr. Ash offers the “All Laser LASIK” or “Blade Free LASIK” system known as IntraLase. This laser system uses a laser beam instead of a blade to create the corneal flap. IntraLase has advanced the safety level of LASIK to an entirely new level. The result of intense study of LASIK in Top Gun naval pilots clearly show superiority of IntraLase over the traditional microkeratomes. At Northern California Laser Center, Dr. Ash delivers the IntraLase, CustomVue LASIK, just as performed at the naval LASIK surgery centers for the Top Gun pilots.
In addition to performing LASIK, Dr. Ash also performs specialized corneal transplant surgeries, implantable contact lenses (Verisyse), and the Latest bifocal implants for cataract surgery (ReSTOR, ReZoom, and Crystalens). He also performs laser procedures for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma surgery, post-cataract membrane removal, and the reparation of retinal holes and retinal detachment.
Patients who are referred from optometrists and medical practitioners can receive assistance in the treatment of foreign body/injuries, consultations regarding eye diseases, infection or inflammation of the eyes, glaucoma management and evaluations.
During initial patient consultation, questions regarding a given eye condition, surgical procedure, or billing issues may be answered by any of the staff or doctors at Turlock Eye Physicians.

Dr. Ashrafzadeh uses the Intralase in LASIK vision correction.

The IntraLase has introduced an incredible level of accuracy and precision to the laser vision correction surgery. By creating such a perfectly consistent flap, one can plan on a surgical outcome and expect the outcome to a much larger extent. Additionally this flap edge has revolutionized the surgical outcomes. One of the major problems that plagues all LASIK surgeons with traditional blade microkeratomes is wrinkles in the corneal flap. These wrinkles reduced the Quality of vision. The flaps from the microkeratome have a tapered edge that allow for microscopic "slippage" of the flaps that result in wrinkling. The IntraLase creates a perfect 70 degree flap edge that acts much like a man-hole cover, and once surgery is complete the man-hole is placed back into position with perfect fit. Wrinkle and cell growth under the edge of the flap have been virtually eliminated paving the way for absolutely perfect results. IntraLase has advanced thesafety level of LASIK to an entirely new level. The result of intense study of LASIK in Top Gun naval pilots clearly show superiority of IntraLase over the traditional microkeratomes. At Northern California Laser Center, Dr. Ash delivers the IntraLase, CustomVue LASIK, just as performed at the naval LASIK surgery centers for the Top Gun pilots.
