LASIK Chicago

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is an FDA-approved refractive procedure intended to reduce your dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK is the most commonly performed refractive procedure at Kraff Eye because of the quick results and recovery time it provides.

Our LASIK surgeons conduct a thorough examination during your complimentary consultation to make sure you are a candidate for the procedure. They want to make sure you are educated about the expected outcomes and inherent risks associated with the procedure. Click here to read more about what to expect at your consultation.

The procedure itself takes about 10 minutes to complete and requires no needles or stitches. Our doctors use the safest, most progressive technologies to ensure you get the best possible outcome from your LASIK surgery.

During LASIK, a thin layer of tissue is folded back from the surface of your cornea using either an IntraLase laser or a microkeratome. Our doctors can then use the VISX S4 tracking laser to reshape your cornea based on your individual eye condition. The procedure can help treat most eye conditions including but not limited to nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Most of our patients will see a noticeable improvement in vision within a few hours and many are able to return to normal activities within 24 hours.

CustomVue is the actual LASIK procedure tailored for the individual characteristics of your eyes. Prior to the LASIK procedure, we use AMO WaveScan technology to capture the unique imperfections in your vision that could not have been measured before. This new level of measurement provides twenty-five times more precision than measurements using standard methods for glasses and contact lenses. WaveScan technology produces a detailed map of your eye and translates this information into a set of CustomVue treatment instructions for the laser. WaveScan information and digital instructions are then transferred to the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System, providing a new level of precision and accuracy for the Kraff Eye Institute LASIK surgeons.

Lasers can be helpful in many ways by treating different eye problems or eye diseases such as, glaucoma or retinal detachment. Some reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contacts; this may also be an effective treatment for superficial corneal disorders.
