hello this is matthew rauen, lasik surgeon at the wolfe eye clinic
In order to prepare you for your surgery
we would like to share a narrated version of lasik eye surgery
The wolfe clinic has one goal in mind related to your lasik surgery
we want you to have the best possible experience before during and after the
surgery
we complicitous by utilizing the vast experience of working
we have made a commitment to using
the most advanced equipment available
for every LASIK surgical procedure
we were the first to bring bladeless lasik to the state of iowa in 2002
we've obviously had multiple equipment upgrades since this time
currently we're using the alcon wavelight system
this she lights is the most advanced laser available for bladeless lasik
flat creation the FS200
and this can be seen on the left your screen
it also uses the most advanced laser for the actual
excimer
ablation
the procedure begins by
placing the patient interface on the surface of the art
most patients experience some pressure sensation this
this is important because
this device allows the i could be held
incredibly steel
during the flap creation
using femtosecond laser technology
and all blade free lasik procedure can be
accomplished you can see white you know the cornea in a circular
this is creation of the flap
by millions of tiny air bubbles
we then moved to the treatment portion of the procedure
using a blunt into instrument will begin lifting the flat
we like blade was still a sick because we believe it offers the safest
procedure for patients
and we believe that every basic procedure should be
performed using this technology
you can see this flap
lifts very nicely
once the flap is retracted
the laser's tracking system will be
employees
you can see that this patient holds very still for this procedure
but it is reassuring for patients to know at the actual treatment laser will
begin tracking
therefore
with tiny movements
laser will continue to track the guy
and it's smart enough to know if the i've *** too much
that it should shut off
the station had a treatment for
minus
correction so they were
relatively
moderately
nearsighted
you can see the reports within the center of the cornea changing as the
laser treatment
reshapes the corny
we then use the ballot salt solution that works for me to help
reflow the flap
back into position
and over the ensuing
weeks
there will be killing of the slap back
i think it's evident from the studio that the patient to spirit comfortable
we accomplish the surgery
numbing died drops
the patients
receive
relaxing medicine by mouth
to people you will use allen
the patient's relapse
once the flap has been
floated back into position will be controlling the flap edges
and this allows the flap
two-seat nicely
which include the surgery by placing the couple of medicare diatribes
in prior to the procedure this patient had a visual acuity of twenty
over five hundred
at the one-day post-op visit
both sides were able to see twenty-twenty with no correct
i hope you enjoyed the studio
