Advanced Surgical Technology for LASIK
Newsom Eye offers only bladeless, customized, Wavefront Optimized® technology treatments on all laser eye surgeries. We choose to offer only the safest, most predictable and fastest-healing procedures.
The LASIK technology at Newsom Eye
Newsom Eye offers only bladeless, customized, Wavefront Optimized® technology treatments on all laser eye surgeries, using the WaveLight and IntraLase lasers.
That is a deliberate limit rather than a marketing line. We choose to offer only the safest, most predictable and fastest-healing procedures — which means we do not offer older bladed or non-customized approaches at all.
Femtosecond bladeless technology creates the corneal flap with a laser rather than a mechanical blade, and Wavefront Optimized® treatment accounts for the curvature of your individual cornea rather than treating every eye as if it were flat.
- Bladeless — the flap is created with a femtosecond laser, not a blade.
- Customized to your individual eye rather than a standard correction.
- Wavefront Optimized® treatment accounting for corneal curvature.
Frequently asked questions about our LASIK technology
What lasers does Newsom Eye use for LASIK?
The WaveLight and IntraLase lasers. All laser eye surgeries at Newsom Eye use bladeless, customized, Wavefront Optimized® technology.
What does bladeless mean?
The corneal flap is created with a femtosecond laser rather than a mechanical blade. It is more precise and more predictable than a bladed instrument.
What is Wavefront Optimized® treatment?
A treatment approach that accounts for the natural curvature of your cornea rather than applying a flat correction, which helps preserve quality of vision, particularly at night.
Do you offer older LASIK techniques?
No. We choose to offer only the safest, most predictable and fastest-healing procedures, which is why bladed and non-customized treatments are not part of what we do.
Is bladeless LASIK safer?
Creating the flap with a laser is more precise and more consistent than a mechanical blade. Your surgeon will discuss what that means for your specific eye at your consultation.
Does the technology change my recovery?
These platforms were selected in part for fast healing. Many LASIK patients notice improved vision within hours to days.
Is this the same technology as Contoura™?
Contoura™ is the topography-guided treatment that runs on the WaveLight platform. It maps thousands of points on your cornea and treats its actual shape.
Where is LASIK performed?
At Newsom Eye’s AAAHC-accredited surgery centers, by surgeons who perform laser vision correction routinely.
