Advances in Vision Correction Technology

Since its inception in the mid-1990s, PRK and LASIK have seen many evolutions and incredible advances in technology, from the lasers that perform the prescription correction to the devices that great the flaps.

LASIK Lasers
At the 20/20 Institute, we utilize the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q laser for vision correction. It is the fasted FDA-approved laser on the market today and was built on Wavefront optimized technology. No other approved laser can make this claim. All procedures performed at the 20/20 Institute are done using this wavefront technology.

Femtosecond Lasers
The newest (and some say best) way of creating the flap in LASIK procedures is with an incredibly precise cool laser called a Femtosecond laser. At 20/20, we use the Ziemer LDV femtosecond laser for flap creation. Studies proved that flaps created with these types of laser, rather than with a blade called a microkeratome, are more precise and create fewer complications.
