ALL LASER LASIK

Patients who are considering LASIK have many psychological barriers to overcome, not the least of which is the issue of safety. LASIK is a surgical procedure that reshapes the cornea (the front surface of the eye) beneath a constructed surface flap. The procedure is analogous to shaving down a hump in the floor beneath a surface rug (flap). Fortunately, this is a painless procedure performed with topical anesthesia. The surface flap can be constructed with an oscillating microscopic blade, as most flaps had been created in the past, or in a "bladeless" procedure with a laser known as "Bladeless LASIK" or "All Laser LASIK". Both procedures produce a precise incision in the cornea. Dr. Benedetto performs LASIK with either instrument. His preference has recently shifted in favor of the "All Laser" procedure utilizing the latest generation Intralase laser.
