LASIK eye\nsurgery can even correct astigmatism, though many patients don\u2019t realize it.\nFortunately for you, living in Pennsylvania means that you can have the expert\nsurgeons at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyeconsultantsofpa.com\/\">Eye Consultants of\nPennsylvania<\/a> as your personal doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bladeless Custom LASIK<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bladeless custom LASIK is a state-of-the-art\nprocedure that uses the most advanced technology in eye surgery today. This\nprocedure is widely regarded as the best form of LASIK vision correction &#8212; so\nmuch so, that both NASA and the Air Force trust only this procedure for their\nastronauts and pilots. Our expert surgeons prefer this state-of-the-art\ntechnique over older techniques that use a metal surgical blade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most astigmatism can be corrected\nwith this LASIK procedure. When a person has astigmatism, the cornea has both\nflat and steep areas that create the refractive error. This means that you may\nexperience blurry vision at both near and far distances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nthe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved LASIK surgery, the agency\ndid so first for astigmatism. Then as now, LASIK for astigmatism remains a safe\nand effective procedure. While some patients may have astigmatism that is too\nsevere for LASIK correction, the majority of patients can achieve vast vision\nimprovement with the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyeconsultantsofpa.com\/lasik-eye-center\">Bladeless custom\nLASIK<\/a> is a highly regarded surgery for many reasons. Surgeons can operate\non both eyes at the same time and can achieve a very high level of vision\ncorrection. With LASIK, surgeons can create a much thinner flap on the cornea\nand thereby achieve much more precise vision correction. Finally, because\nall-laser LASIK does not use a metal blade, the surgical risk is greatly\nlowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What can I expect from the <\/strong><strong>procedure<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most\npatients are surprised to learn that LASIK is a fast procedure rather than a long,\ncomplicated procedure. Custom bladeless LASIK has three simple steps. The\nsurgery uses two different types of lasers. Surgeons first use a femtosecond\nlaser to create a flap in the cornea. The surgeon will gently fold the flap\nback to expose the cornea, then use an excimer laser to reshape the corneal\nsurface to correct the astigmatism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every\npatient\u2019s eye is unique, so we create a custom map of the surface of your\ncornea. The excimer laser is used to correct both steepness and flatness of the\ncornea, thereby correcting the asymmetry and irregular shapes in the cornea to\nimprove your vision focus. After the refractive error is corrected, the corneal\nflap is put back into its natural position to heal on its own without stitches.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been considering LASIK eye surgery for astigmatism,\nknow that bladeless custom LASIK is very safe and effective.

We are ready to answer your questions\nand give you a thorough evaluation to determine whether you are a good\ncandidate for surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LASIK eye surgery is used for several types of vision correction including nearsightedness and farsightedness.
