How is iLASIK different than traditional LASIK?  The lasik experts at North Shore eye care in smithtown new york are happy to answer this question.  North Shore eye care in long island is a state of the art lasik practice.  In our suffolk county location that serves patients from dix hills to riverhead, we perform only the best in lasik which is bladeless custom lasik.  Here is the difference.  In traditonal lasik, a blade machine called a microkeratome is used to make the flap in the cornea as the first step in lasik.  In iLASIK, a bladeless laser called Intralase is used to make this flap.  Intralase is more precise and of course safer.  The laser eye surgery correction part of lasik is done by a unique map of your visual system in iLASIK.  In traditional lasik, the surgeon types in the numbers of your prescription similar to your contact lens prescription.  The beautiful thing about customvue custom correction is that all of our visual systems are different with different fine irregularities.  Our actual visual system does not fit into a number system, but is more of a complex visual shape with fine detail that is corrected with advanced customvue.  With this explanation, it is easy to see why iLASIK or bladeless custom lasik is clearly the preferred choice in laser vision correction.  The board certified eye doctors at North Shore eye care have always decided to do only the best procedure available.  That is one reason why they are the official lasik provider of the New York Mets and the Offficial Eye Care Provider of the New York Islanders.  We have also been named in Top  Doctors: New York Metro Area for years as seen in the New York Times, Newsday, and New York Magazine.  North Shore eye care is a leader in the field of lasik and laser vision correction surgery.  Come in and find out what makes us so special.
