All-Laser LasikMost people are afraid of the idea of using a blade to cut their otherwise healthy eyes. All-Laser Lasik with the Intralase laser avoids blades by precisely creating the Lasik flap using millions of computer-guided laser spots.
All-Laser Lasik is the safest way to perform Lasik today, offering excellent vision and quick recovery time without the risks of using a blade.
Epi-Lasik
For those who want the freedom of good vision without glasses, but are fearful of any type of surgery, Epi-Lasik is a great option. It provides excellent vision without creating a corneal flap.
With Epi-Lasik, the surface skin cells of the eye are gently moved to the side and then replaced after vision correcting treatment is applied. As no blade is used and no corneal flap is made, the safety of Epi-Lasik is unparalleled.
If you remember one thing from our website, remember to avoid using a blade for your laser eye surgery. No-cut Epi-Lasik and All-Laser Lasik are simply the safest, most-effective forms of laser eye surgery available.
Intacs
Keratoconus is a progressive thinning condition of the cornea marked by nearsightedness, astigmatism and very poor vision. People with Keratoconus want better vision, but are not candidates for laser eye surgery.
Intacs are a wonderful option for Keratoconus patients.The tiny plastic ring segments are placed in the peripheral cornea, improving the corneal shape and reducing both nearsightedness and astigmatism. Most patients who have Intacs are able to avoid a corneal transplant and improve their vision.
Dr. Michel is a pioneer in Intacs surgery and holds the distinction of being the first surgeon in Ventura County to perform Intacs surgery for Keratoconus.
