Laser Vision Correction Surgeries We Offer
Customised Trans-Epithelial No-touch (cTEN) laser technique
This technique involves the surgeon removing the outermost layer of the cornea (the epithelium) in the area where the underlying cornea is to be treated. The excimer laser is then applied to the cornea to ‘shave’ a minute amount of tissue from the surface.
The technology at AAEC allows an advanced form of PRK called Transepithelial PRK (T-PRK) to be used. The laser itself removes the epithelium before proceeding to alter the corneal shape. Once the instrument to prevent blinking is in place this is the customised, Trans-Epithelial No-touch (cTEN) laser technique, available only at Ashford Advanced Eye Care. Usually, the entire laser treatment lasts for around a minute.
Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)
Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is a laser vision correction technique for correction of greater degrees of short and long-sightedness. Using a motorised device called a micro-keratome, an extremely thin flap is created from the cornea. The micro-keratome itself is used as the precision and thickness of the flap that is being created is impossible to achieve by hand. The flap is then folded back, and the excimer laser applied to the underlying corneal tissue. The flap is then returned to its original position over the top of the newly treated cornea. No stitches are required to hold the flap in place as flap adheres back into place within 2-3 minutes. Most patients find that they are able to achieve useful vision 1-2 days after this type of laser eye surgery.
Our Technology
The iVis Laser Vision Correction Suite is made up of the iRES excimer laser system specifically developed to perform customized laser vision correction, a new generation of high definition corneal mapping and pupil analysis.
Surgical computer-aided design and planning integrates the corneal shape, dynamic pupil assessment and focus data to define a laser treatment customized to the individual eye. This laser delivers the fastest treatment of any laser vision correction device and many eyes can be treated with a no-touch, all laser technique.
