Laser Technology
The laser chosen by your LASIK doctor is incredibly important in your LASIK outcome. Surgeon skill and laser technology are
two of the main factors to consider when choosing a LASIK provider. The following lasers are recognized for their precision
and ability to provide outstanding results:
Microkeratome Technology
The microkeratome is the instrument that creates the corneal flap during LASIK surgery. When LASIK was first FDA approved,
the microkeratomes used were complicated machines that contributed to higher rates of LASIK flap complications. With extensive
research and development, microkeratome technology has come along way. Today’s modern microkeratomes are designed with
precision to significantly reduce flap complication risks.
