Highly Advanced Laser Technology

Chicago Cornea Consultants utilizes the Zeiss VisuMax 500 femtosecond laser for blade-free flap creation and the Alcon WaveLight excimer laser for precise corneal reshaping. This pairing enables us to perform topography-guided custom LASIK, mapping your eye's unique surface to correct minute imperfections. By integrating these advanced tools, our surgeons customize every procedure to your specific corneal anatomy and visual goals.

Alcon WaveLight Excimer Laser: Customized Corneal Reshaping

After the flap is created, the Alcon WaveLight excimer laser reshapes the cornea with microscopic precision. The laser reshaping process itself takes only seconds to minutes per eye, yet the results can be life-changing.

Your vision is as unique as your fingerprint. That’s why LASIK at Chicago Cornea Consultants is not a one-size-fits-all procedure.

WaveLight technology allows for:

Highly customized treatment planning
Advanced eye tracking during the procedure
Smooth, precise tissue removal
Accurate correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism

Zeiss VisuMax 500 Femtosecond Laser: Blade-Free Precision

The first step in LASIK involves creating a thin corneal flap. At our practice, this is performed using the Zeiss VisuMax 500 femtosecond laser, a highly advanced, blade-free system known for its accuracy and consistency.

The VisuMax platform offers:

Exceptional precision in flap thickness and positioning
Gentle, controlled laser energy delivery
A highly predictable treatment experience
Enhanced comfort for the patient

Replacing older mechanical blade techniques, femtosecond laser technology significantly improves safety and precision in modern LASIK.
