SBK or Sub Bowman keratolileusis is also known as Aspheric C-lasik with thin flap is the latest technique in lasik .Here a very thin flap of 100 microns is picked up instead of 160 microns in normal C-Lasik, thereby saving 60 microns. This technique is a must in people with thin corneas or high numbers.
Video shows Dr. Rupal Shah, New Vision Laser Centers ( www.newvisionindia.com ), Vadodara, India making a LASIK flap with the Carl Zeiss Meditec VisuMax Femtosecond Laser. The VisuMax uses much less energy, and higher pulse frequency, along with a patient friendly curved corneal interface, to make more precise, smoother flaps than the Intralase or iFS lasers.
This video shows the LASIK flap being made with an IntraLase laser. The IntraLase laser makes a series of tightly spaced cavitation bubbles rather than using a blade to make the flap. Our newest IntraLase laser makes a flap in about 15 seconds.
LASIK flaps created with the Ziemer LDV Femtolaser (“Z-LASIK”) have reliable and accurate thicknesses. This video shows flap creation through the microscope of a Visx Star/S4 using the Baitch Visx working-distance extender. Marshall Cyrlin, MD, surgeon.
This is the Science Friday (National Public Radio) video about LASIK eye surgery. The funny thing about this video is that the narrator, who is probably also the producer, is a lot more nervous about LASIK laser vision correction than the patient himself. He is cool as a cucumber, I had LASIK myself, didn’t think it was a big deal and now I see fantastic. The video features Steven Vale, M.D., medical director of Acuity Laser Eye & Vision Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Dr. Vale is one of the most well-respected and experienced Lasik surgeons in the world. Dr. Vale has performed over 21,000 laser vision correction surgeries. Dr. Vale’s ability and experience really comes out in this otherwise realistic and detailed glimpse at the world of laser vision correction surgery.
