What You Must Know about iLASIK Procedure?

I believe most of you already know about Lasik surgery. But did you know about iLASIK? Did you ever heard or listen anywhere before? If yes, thats good. If not, i believe you might be interested to know more about this interesting thing. Agree? Ok. What is iLASIK?

iLASIK  is painless and simple. The doctor precisely and uniquely measures and maps the uniqueness of both of your eyes – down to the most minuscule characteristics individual to you. The 3D mapping technology literally creates a blueprint or fingerprint of your eye, allowing the doctor to then custom-fit the iLASIK procedure for each of your eyes.

The iLASIK procedure is revolutionized by the use of two computer-guided lasers – instead of one as in earlier generations of LASIK. The first, ultra-fast laser and blade free laser creates a thin corneal flap, which is then folded back to allow the second laser to correct your vision based on the exact specification and measurements of your eyes. The procedure takes just minutes. Patients experience a quick virtually painless procedure with the potential of 20/20 or better vision and outstanding safety as a result of reduced flap complications. Klinikmatanusantara.com

To be honest, this is the first time i heard about iLASIK when i try to seek any alternative treatment for eyes problem like blind, cataracts, astigmatism, glaucoma and the rest. Seems like it different between lasik surgery and iLASIK. The surprise this, according to Klinikmatanusantara website, they claim they the only place at Indonesia that can perform iLASIK. I guess, its good for people from that country because they have that technology and can help more people who have problem with their eyes. So, any indonesian people who have eye problem and need iLASIK, you can go and ask them if your eye problem can solved by them.
