Ever heard of Lasik surgery? You probably have.
But have you heard about HDTM Lasik surgery? Many people haven't yet.
HDTM Lasik is the newest technological advance in Lasik surgery.
It uses WaveScan technology to look into your eyes.
This scan can tell your eye doctor about your genetic makeup and the way your particular ocular system functions.
It sounds like science fiction, but it's the stuff of today's reality.
Eye surgeons can now tell more than ever before about the specific way a particular eye is working.
They can then determine precisely the avenue to take to correct that eye's vision.
Lasik surgery has been around for a while.
It is a surgery that uses a laser to reshape a portion of the cornea so that light filters through it easier and sends a better image to the retina.
The patient can see better without glasses once the surgery is over.
The HDTM Lasik takes only about five minutes to perform.
It can get a fuller picture of what an eye is having trouble seeing.
Lasik procedures are done quite often and now they are becoming even more accurate.
The Lasik surgery involves cutting flap of the cornea away and using a heat-free laser to correct the cornea's shape.
The flap is then returned to its position and the patient begins their healing process.
Now a blade free HDTM surgery is being done that uses only lasers.
So the recovery time is quicker than it would be when a blade is used to actually cut into the surface of the cornea.
It's a quick procedure and that's why many people have run to their doctors to have it done.
But it's not a procedure without risks.
And it's not one to be taken lightly.
Any surgery to the eye is serious and can result in altered vision.
Many patients report that they see worse after the surgery.
And the recovery time can involve medicines and drops, hemorrhaging and great discomfort.
But despite the precautions, patients are having the surgery done every day.
It is now FDA approved but most insurances won't cover it.
So the procedure is reserved for those who can afford to pay out of pocket for the ability to see without glasses.
The procedure does not fix every eye condition 100%.
Many patients have to return for a second surgery and/or come back for another adjustment in the future when their eyesight changes again.
