iLASIK = Individual Laser Vision Correction
Since 2006, we have offered individual or iLASIK.
Combining the femtosecond laser flap creation (Femto-LASIK) with wavefront-guided ablation, iLASIK allows the best possible correction of nearsightedness and farsightedness with or without astigmatism.
Acrysof Cachet Phakic Lens
This special lens is used to correct nearsightedness from -6 to -16 dpt. At our FreeVis Center, we have been implanting the Acrysof Cachet phakic lens for 10 years.
