During Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, better known as LASIK eye surgery, a very thin flap is made in the cornea and folded back. Then a laser is used to re-shape the corneal bed, and the flap is smoothed back into place. LASIK is suitable for patients with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (retinal distortion), or combinations of the three.

At Nahl Custom Vision, we have a choice of two state-of-the art lasers, the VISX Star S4 laser with iris registration and eye tracking or the Allegretto Wave™ for your safety and excellent outcome.

The procedure takes only a few minutes and does not require any needles or stitches.
