Latest News. Eye Institute Offers 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.
