More About Vision Correction at North Shore Eye Care
The eye surgeons at North Shore Eye Care perform individualized laser vision correction by combining a number of sophisticated technologies, including the VISX Star S4 excimer laser, CustomVue wavefront scanning, and the IntraLase laser, a bladeless alternative to the microkeratome blade used in traditional LASIK surgery.
During the procedure the surgeons use the CustomVue WaveScan to chart all of the flaws in the cornea and create a unique "fingerprint" of the eye. This allows them to detect and measure tiny imperfections that interfere with the patient's vision and that may otherwise be overlooked. Next, the surgeons create a small flap in the cornea with the IntraLase laser and, using the detailed corneal map as a guidance system, correct the cornea's flaws with the VISX Star S4 laser. The flap is then returned to its original position, where it acts as a natural bandage and aids the healing process. Following the procedure, most patients experience improved vision and are able to discontinue using traditional eyewear.
