If you live or work in Shillington and have considered LASIK\neye surgery, it is important to know that there are several different types of\nlaser eye surgery available. Each uses different technology and techniques.\nWhich one is right for you? At Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania, we will assess\nyour vision and recommend the perfect technique to meet your unique needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bladeless LASIK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our surgeons prefer the bladeless LASIK\neye surgery technique<\/a>. It is more technologically advanced and is a common\nalternative to traditional LASIK which uses a metal surgical blade. There are\nseveral key differences between traditional LASIK and bladeless LASIK, also\ncalled all-laser LASIK. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All LASIK procedures involve creation of a corneal flap.\nThis flap is folded back to expose the cornea for vision correction. Bladeless\nLASIK uses a laser called a femtosecond laser to create the flap, instead of\nthe traditional surgical metal blade called a microkeratome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the cornea is exposed, the surgeon uses a second laser\ncalled an excimer laser to reshape the cornea to correct vision. Each person\u2019s\neye is unique and different, so prior to the surgery, we create a customized\nmap of your cornea that guides the excimer laser during vision correction. This\nform of LASIK can be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and even\nastigmatism. For example, with astigmatism, the eye has both hills and valleys\non the corneal surface, explaining why people with astigmatism have blurry\nvision at both near and far distances. The corneal map traces all of these\ndistortions and guides the laser during the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your journey begins with an initial consultation at one of our\nconvenient Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania locations. We will discuss your\nvision correction needs, evaluate you and your vision, and discuss your options\nfor laser eye surgery. The large majority of patients are good candidates for\nbladeless LASIK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will have one more pre-operative visit, at which we will\ncreate the customized map of your eye or eyes. We can correct both eyes during\nthe same surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On surgery day, there is a brief preparation for surgery,\nfollowed by a very fast and safe bladeless LASIK surgery; most are performed in\nunder one hour. After surgery, there is a brief recovery period, and we want to\nmonitor you to make sure you are recovering nicely. Bladeless LASIK is an\noutpatient procedure, so after we clear you to leave our facility, you can go\nhome the same day and rest your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We schedule a couple of follow-up visits to check on your\nprogress. Healing with bladeless LASIK is fast and your vision quickly\nstabilizes. Most patients are astounded when they can see clearly the very next\nday. Because this technique does not use a surgical blade, risk of infection is\ngreatly reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be able to resume normal activities within a few\ndays, and the corneal flap takes about three months to completely heal. We will\nschedule visits during this time to check your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
