Serving Edmonton LASIK Eye Surgery Patients

The Clearly LASIK surgeons are board-certified ophthalmologists who specialize in laser vision correction and other advanced techniques in refractive surgery. These surgeons are among the most experienced refractive surgeons in the world, with a combined total of more than 100,000 LASIK procedures performed. The Clearly LASIK centers are 100 percent medically directed by these highly skilled surgeons. Importantly, many of the doctors and staff of the Clearly LASIK centers have undergone LASIK refractive surgery, so they have intimate knowledge of laser vision correction from a patient's perspective.

The Clearly LASIK surgeons are on the cutting edge of technology for advancements in vision correction surgery. They have been invited to lecture and to train other surgeons throughout Canada and internationally. They also participated in the early clinical trials and the first clinical use of the excimer lasers for reshaping the cornea to correct for myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. These gifted surgeons focus on using their extensive experience and top technology to provide the optimum visual result for each patient.

More About Clearly LASIK in Edmonton

Each staff member of Clearly LASIK Edmonton has been hand selected and personally trained by the LASIK surgeons. For LASIK surgery, only the latest custom wavefront technology is used. This exciting laser technology provides for a highly accurate measurement of the corneal curvature, and then a customized laser ablation profile for each eye. To prepare and evaluate each patient for surgery, the most advanced diagnostic tools are used, including the Orbscan. The Orbscan produces a three-dimensional image of the cornea and provides the most detailed information currently available to evaluate whether each patient is a good candidate for surgery.

Clearly Edmonton LASIK patients can choose between the traditional microkeratome blade and IntraLase technology to create the corneal flap. IntraLase technology is able to program the dimensions of your corneal flap, and by using ultra-fast pulses of laser light, creates the flap without any cutting to provide the patient with a "blade-free" treatment.

Although the Clearly LASIK surgeons are on the leading edge of laser vision correction technology, they are conservative in their approach to patient care. Their reputation for superb surgical outcomes is a result of recommending surgery for only the most ideal candidates.
