Since it was first introduced in 1998, there have been advances in technology that have improved the procedure for Lasik. You have probably observed in the past year or so that Lasik eye surgery cost has increased from the low levels of 2002. The increase is due to the added cost of new Lasik equipment that incorporates these new technologies.

One of these advanced technologies is called custom or wavefront technology, which is offered by many Lasik clinics, such as the Lasik Eye Institute. The Lasik Eye Institute uses a special laser that adopts the wavefront technology to digitally map your eye surface, particularly your cornea. The laser measures the minute irregularities on your cornea. The data go to a treatment laser unit which calculates the laser treatment spots to be done.

Then you undergo the familiar Lasik surgery. The treatment laser, guided by data from the diagnostic laser, makes the flap; the Lasik eye institute surgeon applies laser treatment on the underside of your cornea and puts the flap in proper position afterwards.

Since the irregularities on your cornea’s surface are unique to you, like your fingerprint, the treatment is also laser-designed for you alone. This is the reason wavefront Lasik is also called custom Lasik.

The Lasik Eye Institute takes pride in the sophisticated multiple regression analysis performed by their leading surgeons to improve the accuracy of the treatment. The surgeons adjust the software instructions controlling the number of laser pulses applied to treat given levels of vision errors.

Another recent development used by clinics like Lasik Plus is called intralase Lasik. In this technique, the surgeon uses another laser (not a blade) to cut and create your corneal flap. If you have heard of the term bladeless Lasik, it actually refers to this method. Many other Lasik New York clinics also use intralase Lasik for Lasik surgeries.
