Clearer vision is within reach thanks to advanced blade-free technology. iLASIK offers a safer and more precise alternative to traditional LASIK, helping you enjoy sharper vision with greater confidence and comfort.
Under the leadership of CEO Dr. Shannon Wong and a skilled team of ophthalmologists and optometrists, Austin Eye is the leading eye surgery center in Austin, TX.
Patients trust Austin Eye because we provide LASIK exclusively with the most advanced, trusted technology. iLASIK is the blade-free version of LASIK, offering the safety and precision you can count on. Here’s what to know about this innovative approach to vision correction.
What Makes iLASIK Different?
Traditional LASIK involves the use of a mechanical blade to create the corneal flap. With iLASIK, both steps of the procedure are done using highly advanced lasers. One laser gently prepares the corneal surface, while another reshapes the cornea to correct vision issues.
By replacing manual tools with computer-guided technology, iLASIK helps reduce risks, improve accuracy, and give patients added peace of mind.
For anyone who feels uneasy about LASIK, knowing that iLASIK avoids the use of blades can be reassuring. This fully laser-based approach has become the gold standard in vision correction today due to its consistency and safety.
Conventional vs. Custom iLASIK
At Austin Eye, Dr. Wong and our team design iLASIK treatment plans to match your specific vision needs and lifestyle.
- Conventional iLASIK – Based on your eyeglass prescription, this option addresses common conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It effectively corrects most visual imperfections, but a more precise and customized option is also available.
- Custom iLASIK – Using detailed wavefront imaging, this version of iLASIK maps tiny irregularities in the eye that aren’t captured by a standard prescription. This highly personalized approach often yields sharper vision, including improved clarity in low-light settings.
Advantages of Blade-Free LASIK
People who choose iLASIK at Austin Eye often experience benefits such as:
- Fewer risks during the procedure thanks to laser precision
- More reliable vision correction than traditional bladed techniques
- Reduced side effects like glare or halos at night
- Eligibility for more patients, including some with thinner corneas that don’t normally qualify for conventional LASIK
