At Boxer Wachler Vision Institute, under the expert guidance of Dr. Brian, we are committed to offering cutting-edge solutions for vision correction. One of our standout procedures is Fortified LASIK, a revolutionary advancement in laser eye surgery. If you’re considering LASIK surgery to correct your vision, you might wonder how Fortified LASIK differs from traditional LASIK and why it might be the better option for you.
Understanding Traditional LASIK
Traditional LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a popular surgical procedure designed to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. During the procedure, a surgeon creates a thin flap in the cornea, then uses a laser to reshape the corneal tissue underneath. This reshaping helps the eye to properly focus light onto the retina, resulting in clearer vision.
While traditional LASIK is highly effective and has helped millions of people achieve better vision, it does come with certain limitations and risks. These can include dry eyes, glare, halos around lights, and the potential for complications related to the corneal flap.
Introducing Fortified LASIK
Fortified LASIK builds on the foundation of traditional LASIK, incorporating advanced technology and techniques to enhance safety, precision, and patient outcomes. Here are some key features that set Fortified LASIK apart:
Designed for Longer-Term Stability of Vision
Holcomb C3-R cross-linking is an advanced, non-invasive procedure used in Fortified LASIK to enhance corneal strength and stability. It is an effective process with minimal recovery time, ensuring improved and long-lasting results for patients undergoing Fortified LASIK.
Broader Candidacy
Fortified LASIK expands the range of candidates who can benefit from laser vision correction. Patients with higher prescriptions, irregular corneas, or other complexities that might disqualify them from traditional LASIK can often find a solution with Fortified LASIK. This inclusivity ensures that more people have access to the life-changing benefits of LASIK surgery.
