iLASIK

Blade-free LASIK / All-laser LASIK

LASIK eye surgery is now safer and more effective than ever. Here on Long Island, OCLI provides the most advanced type of LASIK – referred to as iLASIK.

The iLASIK procedure is different from other types of LASIK, as it utilizes wavefront-guided technology to achieve the best results possible. iLASIK is completely bladeless, using a femtosecond laser in place of the traditional blade to create the LASIK flap. iLASIK offers a completely customizable, bladeless and precise LASIK experience.

The benefits of bladeless iLASIK

Bladeless iLASIK is beneficial in many ways. While traditional LASIK is deemed safe and effective, iLASIK goes a step beyond as far as customization and precision goes. With iLASIK, our doctors are able to achieve the best outcomes possible, leaving you with clear, sharp vision.

Those who opt for iLASIK receive completely individualized results. Each set of eyes is different, so it only makes sense to customize each iLASIK procedure to each patient. At OCLI, we do this through the use of Wavefront technology. The Wavefront machine creates a 3-D map of your eye, so our doctors can see every detail of your corneal surface. Using this map, our doctors are able to determine exactly where your eye needs treatment. This allows for extremely accurate treatment.

The iLASIK procedure

The femtosecond laser makes a precise incision on the corneal surface, creating a corneal “flap”. The flap is then folded back to expose the inner layer of the cornea for treatment. The excimer laser, which uses the information from the Wavefront machine, then makes adjustments to the corneal shape as needed. Once finished, the corneal flap is repositioned and acts as a self-healing bandage.

Healing after iLASIK is typically easy, although there are some guidelines that your OCLI doctor will discuss with you. You will be given medicated eye drops to use for the first few days, and then you can switch to over-the-counter eye drops. Most patients experience dry eye symptoms after iLASIK surgery, which should subside within the first week. A majority of patients go back to work the very next day, and there is little to no downtime associated with iLASIK.

Great office, great doctor. Every employee was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Carolina Monteiro
Since you arrived you will be attended by great staff. They do a complete eye exam. They are very careful with the cleaning of every machine before you use it. You don’t have to wait too long in order to see the doctor who by the way is very clear to explain your condition. He is very professional and polite. I will highly recommend this place. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.
