All Bladeless LASIK

You’ll find so many differences that make Affleck, MD Eye Care and Dr. Affleck the right place for your LASIK surgery that you’ll wonder why you considered anywhere else.

Doctor/Patient relationship

Many of our patients have been amazed to learn that Dr. Affleck personally sees you for  your pre-operative appointment, taking the measurements of your eye to determine the right correction for your procedure and not relying on someone else’s measurements.  Dr Affleck inputs the calculations into the LASIK laser on the day of surgery from those measurements.  From your first post-operative appointment the next day to your last post-operative appointment you will see Dr. Affleck every time, ensuring answers to all your questions from your surgeon!   Glasses and contacts are limited in their ability to correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision.  In fact, thousands of individuals have the same prescription.   Dr. Affleck understands that every Lasik experience is individual and appreciates following his patients and ensuring their best possible outcome!

Every day of the week we offer Free LASIK Screenings where the technicians will measure the prescription of your glasses and check your vision with and without the correction of contacts or glasses.  They also measure your corneal thickness and map the natural shape of your cornea.  All these tests allow Dr. Affleck to quickly rule out specific corneal disease that would interfere with Lasik.  Our staff is available to answer any questions you may have throughout the entire process.  They will even be there with you on Surgery day!

Experience and Training

With over two decades of experience in Lasik and thousands of successful surgeries Dr. Affleck has seen many changes in techniques, lasers, and treatable prescriptions.  This gives him the experience to personalize your procedure based on past experience.  Sight is precious and this area of medicine has ever-changing medical technology and techniques.  Dr. Affleck is proactive in staying up-to –date in his knowledge and skills in this constantly evolving field.  He blends advance medicine, cost and benefits to bring to you remarkable and satisfying Lasik results.

Surgical Outcomes

Dr. Afflecks enhancement rate is lower than the national average.  This means nearly all his patients have 20/20 with their single treatment.  20/20 is a measurement for vision and considered one of the most desired outcome.

Price

Our fees are all-inclusive for the first year after surgery including all of your visits, Pre-op appointments, measurements and a FREE enhancement if needed in the first year.  Often Lasik patients experience drier eyes than previous and we also include punctal plugs if needed after surgery.  Living in our dry climate patients find it a soothing and comfortable relief to Dry Eyes!  The only additional cost you may have is for the eye drops used at the time of surgery.

Laser

The VISX STAR S4 is an excimer laser by VISX,® a pioneer in the development of excimer laser systems. The VISX STAR S4 laser is produces the smoothest surface on the cornea after the procedure than other lasers. This promotes faster healing which results in better vision. The STAR S4 laser is FDA approved to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.  The VISX includes 3D ActiveTrak® EyeTracker which tracks the horizontal, vertical, up and down motion of the eye in real time allowing the laser VISX® laser automatically position and align the laser beam during the procedure for laser eye surgery results that are 25 times more accurate.

VISX’s FDA clinical study results were remarkable.  At six months after their procedure

• 100% of patients could see 20/40 or better
• 94% achieved 20/20 or better
• 74% were 20/16 or better
