Santa Monica No Blade Lasik
No blade LASIK affords surgeons a more precise way of creating the flap necessary for LASIK vision correction. No blade LASIK carries less risk of complications, and post-surgery healing times may be shorter. However, no blade LASIK can be more expensive than the traditional procedure, costing as much as $500 more per eye. Still, many Santa Monica patients prefer to pay a little more for the decreased risk and peace of mind offered by a no blade LASIK procedure.
Many laser vision correction surgeons are switching entirely to no blade LASIK. These surgeons provide many reasons for doing so, including patient preference and safety. Other surgeons decide to let patients choose the method they prefer and make recommendations on a case-by-case basis.
Your Risk and Santa Monica No Blade LASIK
It is important to note that no blade LASIK is not completely risk-free. Risks are present with every surgical procedure. Patients who are only mildly nearsighted with normal corneas will likely experience the same degree of vision correction from either procedure. On the other hand, however, a farsighted individual or a patient with thin or irregular corneas may have a good deal to gain from no blade LASIK.
