iLASIK Eye Surgery in Denver Colorado

iLASIK specifically refers to using the IntraLase laser to create the corneal flap combined with the Advanced CustomVue Wavefront-Guided VISX excimer laser technology to reshape the underlying cornea. This combination of two advanced technologies in iLASIK has produced some of the best results we’ve ever seen in laser vision correction.

In certain patients, the Intralase may provide an even more precise result with better vision and an increased margin of safety. Dry eye symptoms after surgery may be less significant with the Intralase as well. In a research study of patients treated with one eye using Traditional LASIK, and the other eye using Intralase LASIK (iLasik), patients stating a preference preferred the vision in their Intralase eye 3 to 1 over the Traditional LASIK eye.

Technological advances used in the iLASIK procedure convinced NASA that iLASIK was good enough for our astronauts. The visual demands placed upon astronauts are intense, and the stakes are high.

The US military now runs several facilities utilizing iLASIK to meet the intense visual demands of its mission critical pilots and aviators flying multi-million dollar fighter jets.

At the Eye Center of Colorado we believe it is critical for us to have this same advanced iLASIK technology for our patients. Even your most extreme lifestyle is nothing compared to being ejected from an F-22 Raptor or landing on a aircraft carrier at night, but you deserve the same level of quality vision.

It is the most commonly performed operation in medicine, and the safest. No operation is 100% safe but LASIK comes close. For example, a soft contact lens wearer is far more likely to get an eye infection than a patient having LASIK surgery. LASIK takes only 15 minutes. Patients rarely even need pain medication afterwards and most go about their normal routine the next day.

LASIK in Denver, Colorado is currently one of the most frequently performed elective procedures in North America. It is a highly effective outpatient procedure that is suitable for most low, moderate and higher prescriptions. LASIK uses a cool beam of light from the excimer laser to gently reshape the front surface (cornea) of your eye.
