The iLASIK procedure

The iLASIK procedure is a completely integrated and personalized procedure based on advanced vision correction technology at every step. At Shroff Eye Centre, the iLASIK procedure combines the IntraLaseTM method of creating the corneal flap with the Advanced CustomVueTM excimer laser treatment for vision correction.

Step 1 – Creating Your Personal Vision Profile 
The first step in the iLASIK procedure is to perform a series of tests to determine the individual characteristics of your vision, including the use of our WaveScan technology. The WaveScan system creates a 3-D map of the unique imperfections of your eyes. Then our Advanced CustomVueTM process uses the digital information from that map to design a custom treatment for each of your eyes.

Step 2 – Making the iLASIK Flap 
As described previously, the iLASIK procedure exclusively uses an advanced technology called the IntraLaseTM Method, which is a 100% blade-free approach to creating your corneal flap. The IntraLaseTM Mehod also delivers outstanding visual results – more patients achieve vision that is 6/6 or better when the IntraLaseTM Method is used. And in a clinical survey of LASIK patients who had their corneal flaps created using a blade in one eye and the IntraLaseTM Method in the other, the vision in the IntraLaseTM -treated eye was preferred 3 to 1 (among those who stated a preference).

Step 3 – Your Laser Vision Correction 
Now that you’ve had your personal vision profile using WaveScan technology and your blade free corneal flap using the exclusive IntraLaseTM Method, your vision can be corrected using the Advanced CustomVueTM treatment within the iLASIK procedure. With the Advanced CustomVueTM treatment it is possible to correct all types of refractive errors, including mild-to-severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and all types of astigmatism. It can improve the overall quality of vision by correcting Higher Order Aberrations (vision problems not correctable by glasses or contact lenses). This translates into better vision for driving at night, and lack of glare and haloes.
