LASIK using VISXTM & IntraLasikTM Technology
CustomVueTM with the VISX STARTM Excimer Laser
Dr. Zaffater uses VISX STARTM
excimer laser technology to perform patients'
CustomVueTM laser vision correction
procedure. Just like a fingerprint, each person's vision is
100 percent unique to their eyes. Before the recent
advancements in technology, Dr. Zaffater was
only able to use standard measurements to correct vision.
With the CustomVueTM procedure, no two "prescriptions"
are identical.
With the use of CustomVueTM technology, Dr. Zaffater can
measure and correct the unique imperfections of each
individual's vision and provide them with the potential to experience
better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses.
Treatments are available for a variety of patients including those
with astigmatism, whether the astigmatism is associated with
nearsightedness, farsightedness or mixed astigmatism. As a
result, most people are eligible candidates for this life-altering
procedure.
One year after the CustomVueTM procedure, nearsighted
patients in a clinical study reported these great results without
glasses and contact lenses:
Driving test - 100% passed
Could see 20/20 or better - 98%
Could see better than 20/20 - 70%
Additionally, most patients in the clinical studies were very satisfied with their night vision after the procedure as compared to their night vision before with glasses or contact lenses.
IntralaseTM Technology
Dr. Zaffater uses IntralaseTM technology, 100% blade free method, to create the corneal flap (the thin flap of tissue that he folds back in order to perform the CustomVueTM LASIK procedure). This is the preferred technology of LASIK surgeons and is the safest technology available.
If you are diagnosed as nearsighted with or without astigmatism, farsighted with or without astigmatism, or have mixed astigmatism, you may be a candidate for the CustomVue TM procedure.
