Laser Vision Correction Procedures

There are a variety of different laser vision correction procedures (as well as procedures that do not utilize laser technology) which can be used to treat a patient. Upon your initial consultation with Dr. Holzman, he will determine which method would be best for you as well as explain what to expect should you opt to undergo treatment.

LASIK

Perhaps the most popular form of laser vision correction, LASIK surgery allows quick recovery and typically results in few, if any, complications. Known as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, LASIK is a refractive surgery that involves the reshaping of the cornea (making it flatter in nearsighted individuals, steeper in farsighted individuals and more spherical in individuals with astigmatism) with an excimer laser.

PRK

Also known as Photo-Refractive Keratectomy, PRK is an ideal procedure for patients with eye conditions that prevent them from undergoing LASIK surgery. The PRK laser vision correction procedure, like LASIK, involves reshaping the cornea with a laser to correct or improve the patient’s vision, but unlike LASIK, also involves the complete removal of the epithelium, or outer layer of the cornea, during surgery so that the laser can be applied directly to the cornea rather than the inner tissue.

Laser Vision Correction Technology

Dr. Holzman and the staff at Holzman Laser Vision utilize the latest laser vision correction technologies to meet the needs of patients throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

iLASIK

Utilizing a 3D mapping technique to measure the aberrations of your eyes, the iLASIK technology is incredibly accurate and is the first laser vision correction tool in the world that is 100 percent custom-fit for each patient. This diagnostic and measurement tool allows Dr. Holzman to precisely reshape the patient’s corneas for optimal vision correction.

VISX™ CustomVue™ Waveprint™

This system maps a patient’s eyes, including optical paths, by measuring light waves as they travel through the cornea. Used in conjunction with iLASIK procedures, the VISX™ CustomVue™ Waveprint™ system can create a highly accurate, highly individualized treatment plan to help ensure that vision correction is optimal.

Allegretto Wave™

Representing the newest generation of excimer lasers, the Allegretto Wave™ system uses a wavefront-optimized technology with active eye tracking to correct refractive errors that can cause myopia and hyperopia. This system was the first to receive concurrent FDA approval for myopia and hyperopia treatment and provides the fastest and most accurate vision correction available.

Wavefront

The Wavefront diagnostic system uses a low energy laser to map the eye of aberrations or imperfections that can cause vision impairment. Originally designed for the creation of optimized telescope lenses, the Wavefront technology has the ability to perform diagnostics that are up to 25 times more precise than a traditional eye exam.
