Step 3-LASIK Procedure

Following your measurement examination, a surgical date will be scheduled. We are proud to announce that we offer our patients the most advanced VISX technology available today-the VISX Star S4 IR laser with three-dimensional eye tracking and recently introduced Iris Registration (IR). In addition to the S4 IR laser, we utilize the WaveScan mapping system, which allows us to take measurements 25 times more precise than the standard measurements utilized in prescribing glasses and contact lenses. Having the most advanced VISX laser system allows us to offer the latest breakthrough in LASIK: CustomVue Individualized Laser Vision Correction. Your laser vision correction procedure will be performed in our state licensed and accredited outpatient surgery center. Dr. Moretsky and Dr. Cassidy perform LASIK surgery weekly on Thursday and Friday.

Please remember if you are currently wearing contact lenses, you will need to discontinue wearing them prior to your dilated exam and date of surgery. The time frame you will need to be out of contact lenses will be determined by your surgeon and LASIK counselor based on which type of lenses you currently wear. The removal of your contacts is imperative to your outcome, as contact lenses alter the shape of your results.

If you are currently wearing glasses full time, we can also schedule the consultation and dilated exam to be performed on the same day to forgo an additional appointment. If you choose to schedule your appointments in this manner be sure to let our staff know when you make your appointment, to reserve sufficient time.
