What Is LASIK?
Imagine seeing clearly the moment you wake up — no glasses, no contacts, just crisp, natural vision. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a precise laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to help light focus properly on the retina. The result? Sharper vision and lasting freedom from corrective lenses.
How LASIK Works with WaveLight® Plus
At VisionPoint Eye Center, we’re proud to be the first and only practice in Illinois using the advanced WaveLight® Plus LASIK platform — the next generation of laser precision designed for accuracy, comfort, and exceptional visual results.
1. Personalized Mapping
Your vision is unique, and so is your treatment. We start with a detailed 3D map of your eye using advanced wavefront and topography technology. This map guides every step of your procedure with unmatched precision.
2. Femtosecond Laser Flap Creation
Using an ultra-fast femtosecond laser, your surgeon creates a thin, customized flap on the cornea — no blades involved. This step takes just seconds and allows for a quick, gentle treatment.
3. Corneal Reshaping with the WaveLight® Plus Excimer Laser
Here’s where the magic happens. The WaveLight® Plus laser reshapes the cornea in a matter of seconds, guided by your personalized treatment plan. Its speed and accuracy help ensure smooth results and reduce the risk of halos or glare.
4. Rapid Recovery
The corneal flap is gently repositioned, and your eye begins to heal immediately. Most patients notice clearer vision within hours and are ready to return to normal activities the next day.
