Better Vision - Improved Safety - No-Cut, No-Flap
As laser technology has improved, a variety of laser vision correction techniques have been developed that are safe and accurate. Today's most advanced laser vision correction procedures have raised technology to new levels.

Laser Vision Correction (LASEK) reshapes the cornea to more accurately focus light onto the back of the eye. Two great new technologies, CustomVue WaveFront ablation, plus Bladeless, All-Laser, No-Cut, No-Flap LASEK. 

The Refractive Surgeons at Andersen Eye Associates can now correct vision in a way that is safer and more precise!

Is Lasek for Everyone?
If you are at least 21 years of age, have generally healthy eyes, and wear corrective glasses or contact lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism, you may be a good candidate for CustomVue LASEK!

Advantages of Lasek?

• LASEK is safer than LASIK because there is no flap, so all flap-related complications are eliminated! 
• LASEK is a better choice for people who are concerned about having their eyes cut than the LASIK procedure. 
• Because there is no flap, LASEK preserves more corneal tissue and allows higher amounts of correction to be performed - as high as -14.00 D in certain cases! For this reason, LASEK is also preferred in patients with thin or irregular corneas.
• LASEK is more comfortable than PRK because this skin is put back into place, rather than discarded, which allows for more rapid visual recovery without any significant discomfort.
• With the advent of CustomVue, LASEK has many advantages over LASIK, as many "higher-order-abberations" are created by making, lifting and replacing the flap - but none of these can be treated - because the WaveFront map is captured before surgery.

What is Myopia or Nearsightedness?

Close objects are seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurred.  Myopia is caused by a steeply curved cornea or elongated eye.

What is Hyperopia or Farsightedness?

The cornea is often too flat or the eye is too short and light rays focus behind the retina. Both near and distant vision are usually blurry.
