Lasik at the Eye Clinic and Laser Institute
Why choose us?
The Eye Clinic and Laser Institute was the first exclusive laser center in Brevard and the first to
bring affordable LASIK to the Space Coast. Each of the physicians and team members at The Eye Clinic
and Laser Institute are certified by the laser manufacturer to be intensely skilled and knowledgeable
about the laser and the LASIK procedure.
The Eye Clinic and Laser Institute offers CustomVue™ custom LASIK and Epi-LASIK at our surgery centers.
CustomVue™ uses Wavefront™ technology to precisely map the individual differences in each eye. The Wavefront™
scan is 25 times more accurate than standard methods used for glasses and contacts. An Excimer laser then
reshapes the cornea to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
The Eye Clinic and Laser Institute makes LASIK affordable to free yourself from the hassle of glasses and contact
lenses. We offer complimentary consultations, and finance plans are available to fit any budget.
About Lasik
How does LASIK work?
LASIK is the most commonly performed refractive surgery procedure. You may hear people calling it "LASIX,"
but the name is actually short for "laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis."Why is it so popular? LASIK has
advantages over other procedures, including a relative lack of pain afterward and the fact that good vision
is usually achieved almost immediately, or at least by the very next day.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery procedure used to treat
patients suffering from myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The procedure is a
combination of keratomileusis, which involves cutting of the cornea, and Excimer laser photoablation, which uses a
laser to reshape the surface of the eye. The cool ultraviolet beam of the laser delivers a preprogrammed number of
pulses to correct and reshape the exposed surface of the eye. The corneal flap is then put back into place where it
heals without the need for stitches.
CustomVue
How is CustomVue LASIK
different than traditional LASIK?
CustomVue LASIK is an exciting, specialized way to help patients get the near
perfect vision they’ve always dreamed of through LASIK surgery. The corneal mapping,
sophisticated FDA-approved lasers, and high-tech computer software utilized in CustomVue
LASIK allow us to potentially correct vision to a precise degree.
CustomVue Laser Vision Correction with Iris Registration was developed by VISX. This Refractive
surgery is considered to be the most precise form of LASIK available.
During a LASIK refractive surgery consultation, a WaveScan device is used to
measure imperfections in the individual’s vision with the greatest precision possible. A detailed
map of the patient’s entire visual track is created. Like a fingerprint, this map is completely
unique to each individual. The information on the map is then transferred into the laser and used
by our physicians to customize the LASIK procedure.
