IF YOU ARE
ONE OF THE MANY THAT HAVE POST LASIK PROBLEMS OR LOOKING FOR THE
BEST SHOT AT LASIK/PRK/LASEK,
THIS MAY BE OF HELP AND OF HOPE FOR YOU IN GETTING THE BEST KNOWN
RESULTS:
(COMING OUT JUNE 2007 AND
BEING TESTED FOR 3 MONTHS)
It's still too early to know for sure, but from what I've read
and discussed with the Doctors I think there's a new
re-treatment approach that may be much more reliable than any
other. Basically it involves a trans-epithelial treatment (a
PRK where the laser removes the epithelium) where the laser
removes the epithelium as well as the stroma. Unlike older
techniques, the algorithm adjusts for the energy loss in the
periphery (supposedly). This is the only approach I've seen
that makes sense that could actually fix lots of bumps and
valleys. I'm sure it wouldn't be perfect, but it also goes
wider than other treatments. It can handle a 7mm central
treatment zone and up to a maximum 10mm total, peripherial blend
zone.
The laser is the iVis (I think by Ligi- an Italian co., but I'm
not sure). Supposedly it has very good registration and very
high resolution (it uses a topographic approach, not wavefront
and is based on 39,000 samples instead of only 50 to 500 used
for different wavefront devices- the Alcon is just over 200 for
instance) and leaves the "smoothest treatment" area yet
achieved. Anyway, if you know anyone considering a retreatment
have them hold off for this if they have the money for it. The
only one in the US I know of who will be doing this is in
Nashville (and I'm not sure when). One doctor in Norway just
started using it and doesn't have actual results yet. More
information on the laser can be found at:

Post Lasik
Help-
Welcome.
Our purpose is to help individuals with normal
vision understand the visual aberrations that
accompany eye injury, various eye diseases and
conditions (e.g. Floaters, Keratoconus, and Visual
Snow), and the complications of refractive surgery
(i.e., LASIK, LASEK, PRK). While there is no
substitute for actually looking through the eyes of
another person, you are welcome to use this site to
help you communicate your situation to your family,
friends, or your doctor.
Use of images in a forensic (legal) setting,
however, requires explicit written permission.
