Eye Institute Offers the First iLASIK to NZ
A Decade and $4 Billion in Development combine to Create First 100% Customised LASIK Procedure with Outstanding Safety & Vision.
News
- The first vision correction procedure ever to be 100-percent tailored for the unique characteristics of the patients’ individual eyes is now available in New Zealand.
- Comprising a decade of LASIK technology innovation, the iLASIK brand combines the most advanced technologies on the market today into One Procedure, creating the most advanced vision correction procedure.
- As evidence of the iLASIK procedure’s advanced status, NASA recently approved the use of iLASIK technologies for its astronauts.
Perspective
- Prior to the iLASIK procedure the burden was on the patient to research the best LASIK technologies, compare and contrast the clinical data of the various advancements, and then identify a physician who offered the particular combination of technologies the patient preferred. - That is, if they could follow the dizzying chain of brands and combination of brands so prevalent in LASIK marketing.
- As evidence of the iLASIK procedure’s advanced status, NASA recently approved the use of iLASIK technologies for its astronauts.
What
- Just like the tailoring of a fine suit or couture fashion, the iLASIK procedure is 100 percent tailor-made for the patient, their vision and the unique characteristics of their eyes.
- Three-dimensional mapping, precise measurement and the use of beginning-to-end, state-of-the-art technologies differentiate the iLASIK procedure from all others, offering better visual outcomes and superior safety as a result of fewer flap complications.
The iLASIK procedure available at Eye Institute is one of the most advanced ophthalmic medical procedures performed today. More than a decade since FDA approval, LASIK remains not only the most common, but also the most clinically-studied elective vision procedure to date. It was this very same clinical research that revealed the combination of technologies – femtosecond and wavefront guided lasers, iris registration and 3-D mapping – provided outstanding safety through reduced flap complications and better visual outcomes for patients than all previous LASIK techniques. Clinical trials have shown more patients experience 20/20 or better vision with reduced flap complication when two lasers are used, as in the iLASIK procedure, instead of the single-laser platform of previous LASIK techniques.
