Lasik and refractive surgery

Since acquiring our latest technology, EEC has performed thousands of bladeless LASIK procedures and to date (Jan 2010) have achieved a remarkable 100% visual success rate of 6/12 (driving vision) or better without need for enhancement.

The ICL is an excellent option to treat refrac- tive errors, especially for patients with high astigmatism. For this surgery, the ICL is placed behind and between the iris and natural lens of the eye and hence is not visible from the outside. 2) Phakic Intra-Ocular Lens (IOL) This lens is an alternative to the Implantable Contact Lens, with the main difference being the placement of the lens. Unlike the ICL, where the lens is placed behind and between the iris, and natural lens of the eye, the IOL is placed in the anterior segment of the eye in front of the iris. Since the lens is inserted in from of the iris, it is more easily accessible, making it less traumatic and easier to insert and remove, if necessary. It also reduces the risk of increased post-surgery eye-pressure. Furthermore, at EEC, we offer a One-Day LASIK experience where our patients can complete both pre-LASIK assessments and LASIK surgery for both eyes on the same day.

Since acquiring our latest technology, EEC has performed thousands of bladeless LASIK procedures and to date (Jan 2010) have achieved a remarkable 100% visual success rate of 6/12 (driving vision) or better without need for enhancement.

3) Cornea StrengtheningCollagen cross-linking is a breakthrough cornea-strengthening technology. Using a revolutionary technique to dramatically reduce procedure times while improving the quality of outcomes, EEC is better equipped to make a LASIK a safer and more compatible procedure for patients with thinner corneas.
In line with the commitment to maintaining our position at the forefront of technology, EEC contin-ues to acquire the latest in cutting-edge equipment from its technology partners.

EEC strives to stay abreast of flap-creation technology through the acquisition of the latest versions of the Femto LDV and iFS femtosecond laser systems respectively. Femtosecond lasers make it possible for “Blade-free LASIK” with seamless integration into both LASIK and other
corneal surgical procedures. Smoother flaps, optimal centra-tion with improved safety and stability, are just some of the advancements patients can expect from their EAGLELASIK experience.

WSurgical Alternatives to LASIK
But otherwise, Epi-Lasik has shown to offer safe and excellent long-term visual outcomes. This technique is recommended to patients with thin corneas, and to those who lead an active sporting lifestyle.
world’slatest and advanced femtosecond laser, the Ziemer’s FEMTO LDV to do this procedure. Unlike the Intralase which requires the patient to have a flap created at a separate sitting, this machine is compact and the procedure is seamless and done at the same sitting, and more importantly, the femtosecond laser uses more precisely focused laser pulses at thousands of times less energy per pulse than Intralase, which makes it even safer. This is a point of drastic differentiation between the femtosecond laser and Intralase.
