Southern California Lasik Procedures

The LASIK vision correction procedure can be used to treat patients with astigmatism, farsightedness or nearsightedness. During this eye surgery technique, a surgeon lifts away protective tissue on the cornea to gain access to the surface beneath, then uses all-laser or wavefront-guided technology to alter its shape, correcting the patient's vision deficiency. The cornea tissue is then replaced in its original position, and the healing process begins instantaneously.

LASIK procedures can be completed very rapidly, with the majority of operations taking three minutes or less to complete. No needles are used to deliver anesthesia, and no stitches are required to suture incisions closed. In fact, patients who undergo LASIK vision correction eye surgery usually recover very quickly. Many of them report improved sight only hours after the operation, and recovery is so easy that the majority don't miss even a day of work or school.

How All-Laser LASIK Vision Correction Surgery Works

All-laser LASIK vision correction, also known as IntraWave, uses super-fast pulses of high-frequency light to reshape the cornea without cutting into the eye. Amazingly, this procedure can be completed in only 30 seconds (per eye) and represents a safe technological breakthrough that is preferred by many patients. The procedure has been successfully performed on over 600,000 patients around the world.

Dr. Robert Maloney of the Maloney Vision Institute in Los Angeles County is recognized as one of the world's most skilled practitioners of all-laser LASIK surgical techniques.
