Customized LASIK

What Is Customized LASIK?

LASIK uses the excimer laser to reshape the cornea, and can correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Currently, LASIK is one of the most commonly performed healthcare procedures in the country, and it has an excellent record of success.

Customized LASIK is the next generation of laser vision correction, with the newest diagnostic equipment creating a ‘map’ of your specific eyes. Dr. Whitten then uses this information to plan a treatment customized for your unique vision imperfections. This makes your Customized LASIK procedure safer than ever before. Patients routinely achieve results of 20/20 vision or better, with an enhanced overall ‘quality’ of vision!

“NASA followed the Naval Aviation clinical studies of nearsighted patients closely with a particular interest in both safety and quality of vision under extreme conditions. Wavefront-guided and femtosecond lasers provided superior safety with the majority of patients achieving 20/20 or better vision. The Navy studies demonstrated  that advanced technology LASIK is stable and effective in even the most extreme physical conditions of warfare and high-performance flight. With that kind of rigorous testing and validation, the average consumer can choose LASIK with confidence.”
