LASIK technology
The next generation of LASIK technology
Since laser vision correction was introduced more than a decade ago, steady advances have been made in the safety and precision of LASIK surgery. One of the most groundbreaking of these advancements is All-Laser Custom LASIK technology.
Many people don't realize that not all LASIK is the same. And they're surprised to learn that many surgeons still perform "traditional LASIK." In traditional LASIK, the corneal flap is created with a mechanical metal blade, or microkeratome. Although traditional LASIK has been an effective procedure for many years, Dr. Manger has always remained at the forefront of LASIK technology and now performs only All-Laser Custom LASIK.
With All-Laser Custom LASIK, Dr. Manger uses a computer-controlled laser (Intralase) to create the corneal flap, which eliminates many of the possible complications seen with the earlier mechanical devices. The Intralase laser allows Dr. Manger to precisely determine the exact depth of the corneal flap with more accuracy than ever before. This advanced technology provides for unprecedented control and precision during the procedure, and delivers the level of safety you are looking for.
The state-of-the-art technology we use for your All-Laser Custom LASIK procedure:
Custom Laser Vision Correction
Dr. Manger understands that everyone’s eyes are unique. He is among a select group of eye surgeons to offer his patients the benefits of Custom LASIK. With this system, we can treat more than simple nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Custom LASIK allows us to analyze your eyes’ specific irregularities with 25 times more accuracy than standard measurements used for glasses or contacts. Think of it as taking a fingerprint of your eye that enables Dr. Manger to completely customize your treatment.
Custom LASIK allows Dr. Manger to correct any imperfections in the entire visual path. This not only gives patients the potential for high-definition vision, it also provides better outcomes for contrast sensitivity, glare, and halos at night. In fact, a clinical study found that four times as many patients were very satisfied with their night vision after their Custom LASIK procedure, compared to their night vision with glasses or contacts before LASIK.
Excimer lasers: VISX Star 4 and Allegretto Wavelight
Most LASIK surgeons use the same excimer laser to treat all patients. Dr. Manger is one of a select group of surgeons to have two lasers — the VISX Star 4 with Iris Registration, and the Allegretto Wavelight — side-by-side in the laser suite. This allows him to provide the best laser treatment for each individual patient.
Both excimer lasers feature advanced eye-tracking devices that automatically follow any eye movement that occurs during the procedure. These eye trackers are so sophisticated that they can track eye movements up to 400 times per second — ensuring the laser beam is centered on your pupil at all times during your procedure.
Both the VISX Star 4 with Iris Registration and Allegretto Wavelight are advanced excimer lasers with FDA approval for treating the widest range of prescriptions than other lasers on the market. These lasers are calibrated specifically for each individual patient, ensuring the proper energy is used during each step of the procedure.
In the hands of a specially trained and highly skilled doctor like Dr. Manger, All-Laser Custom LASIK means the potential for better diagnosis, better treatments, and better vision. And Dr. Manger's success rates prove it — 99.7% of his patients see 20/20 or better after surgery!
