Bladeless LASIK surgery in Michigan

Bladeless LASIK surgery in Michigan is the newest improvement in LASIK surgery. The technique before this used an instrument that is called a keratome to create the flap. There IS a difference, and there are definite benefits to the most modern techniques that Dr. William Goldstein uses. The keratome is a very good instrument, but is uses a metal blade to cut the flap. During that incision, there is distortion of the cornea, and the depth of the incision can be as much as 25% different than the intended depth. With bladeless lasik surgery, a femtosecond laser is used to make the incision. This increases the accuracy of the cut, with only about a 5% variation from the depth that the surgeon selects. And since there is no movement of a blade or other parts across the cornea, there is less chance of damage to the flap as it is created. There is some added cost to the patient for all-laser lasik in Detroit, but the increased security in the accuracy of the incision is worth it!
