LASIK eye surgery can help you correct refractive errors in vision such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure uses a state-of-the-art laser to reshape your cornea so that it focuses light properly. The end result is clearer, sharper vision.
We are proud to be one of the few practices in the Boston area to use the Intralase LASIK procedure for an “All Laser LASIK” method, which produces some of the best results our patients have ever experienced in laser vision correction.
The IntraLase method uses a laser to produce a layer of tiny bubbles, which gently lift and separate the tissue to create a corneal flap, rather than traditional LASIK procedures which use a blade to create a corneal flap.
The custom Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Excimer Laser technology then reshapes the underlying cornea. Once the flap is made and the cornea reshaped, the surgeon will move the flap back into place, where it resets in the cornea without the need for stitches.
