During the Procedure:

• LASIK is performed on each eye separately, with each procedure taking only about five minutes.
• First, Dr. Benjamin uses a femtosecond laser to create a thin, circular “flap” in the cornea.
• The flap is then folded back to access the underlying cornea (stoma) and eliminates some corneal tissue using another laser called an Excimer laser.
  • This highly specialized Excimer laser uses a cool ultraviolet light beam to remove microscopic amounts of tissue from the cornea to reshape it, refocusing light entering the eye for improved vision.
• For nearsighted people, the goal is to flatten the cornea;
• For farsighted people, a steeper cornea is desired.
• For astigmatism, the Excimer laser works by smoothing an unbalanced cornea into a more normal shape.
• After the laser reshapes the cornea, the flap is then laid back in place, covering the area where the corneal tissue was removed.
• Then the cornea is allowed to heal naturally.

With Benjamin Eye Institute’s modern All-Laser Wavefront Optimized LASIK, our Los Angeles area clients enjoy the latest in technology. Wavefront offers the latest technological advancement, creating a computerized “map” of the eye, allowing for more precise correction with the Excimer laser.

LASIK consists of the following 6 steps:

1. Create a thin corneal flap
2. Lift and reflect the hinged flap to expose the underlying corneal stroma
3. Correct the refractive error by reshaping the cornea with an EXCIMER laser
4. Return the corneal flap to its original position
5. Smooth the flap to remove any wrinkles
6. Ensure adherence of the flap to the underlying stroma (without stitching or glue)

• Diagnostic technology used to measure the eyes before the surgery
• The technology used to create the flap (e.g. Microkeratome vs. Intralase)
• The EXCIMER laser used to correct vision (e.g. Visx vs. Allegretto)
• The environment in which the procedure is performed
• The experience and the skill set of the surgeon performing the procedure
