LASIK is the most common type of vision correction surgery that we
perform at Spector Eye Care. LASIK is a method of corneal laser eye
surgery that we can use to allow patients to enjoy a quick visual
recovery with minimal discomfort after their procedure.
LASIK is a type of Laser Eye Surgery called “lamellar eye surgery”
because it is performed between the layers of corneal tissue. This
is achieved by creating a very thin flap of corneal tissue that can
be lifted, the laser energy applied, and then the flap can be
readily replaced without the need for stitches.
During the last 30 years, Laser Eye Surgery has become a useful and
important tool for many types of eye care. As a result of advances
in technology, we have seen significant changes in Laser Eye
Surgery. These advances have led to an evolution of better surgery
procedures and in many cases, the creation of totally new laser
procedures to preserve and enhance vision.
One such example of the application of advances in laser technology
has been the development of Laser Vision Correction, including LASIK
for common vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness
and astigmatism. Others include better laser treatment options for
complex eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular
degeneration, retinal vascular disease, glaucoma and as an adjunct
to modern cataract surgery.

Precision Lasik Group in Cheshire CT
By far the most popular procedure, especially for those with extreme
cases of nearsightedness is LASIK. During LASIK, the surgeon first
creates a thin corneal flap using a device called a micro-keratome.
The Allegretto Wave, however, was conceived from the start to
perform custom treatments and incorporates wavefront technology
principles into each procedure while adjusting each treatment to the
patient’s individual cornea.
This high-speed tracker is a key component of the system’s unique
PerfectPulse Technology, developed to accurately control the energy
level and exact placement of every laser pulse. Understanding that
all eyes are not the same, the Allegretto Wave takes into
consideration each patient’s individual corneal steepness and
automatically compensates for laser energy that can be lost in the
periphery of the cornea due to the eye’s natural shape. By doing so,
the Allegretto Wave specifically
addresses spherical aberrations that can potentially cause glare and
may distort night vision.

Robbins Eye Center
Since receiving FDA approval a decade ago, laser eye surgery has
safely and successfully helped millions achieve perfect or near
perfect vision without glasses or contacts. In all LASIK surgeries,
the goal is to reshape the surface of the eye to restore vision.
Robbins Eye Center has expertise in all laser vision correction
surgery techniques and will help you choose the method best for you.
Laser vision correction procedures include LASIK, PRK, Epi-K and
LASEK.
In traditional forms of LASIK, doctors create corneal flaps with a
microkeratome, an oscillating, hand-held steel blade. Lasers then
reshape the surface of the eye under the flaps. Newer LASIK
techniques use a computer-guided laser to deliver rapid pulses of
light to a preprogrammed depth and position within your cornea. Each
pulse creates a microscopic bubble, and the bubbles connect to form
a corneal flap. These techniques, referred to as no-blade or
bladeless LASIK, create a more precise flap and are typically more
comfortable for patients. In addition, pulse guided LASIK techniques
allow some patients who are not good candidates for more traditional
LASIK procedures to benefit from LASIK surgery. The Robbins Eye
Center was the first in Connecticut to offer an all laser Intralase/Wavelight
LASIK procedure.
LASIK is virtually painless. During the procedure Dr. Robbins
administers topical anesthetic eye drops to numb your eye. After the
procedure is completed and when the effect of the drops wears off,
you are left with a slight dry feeling. You are given a pair of dark
goggles to wear and we recommend that you relax and keep your eyes
closed for four hours after the procedure. This minimizes any
further discomfort.
