EagleVision®️ laser eye surgery (which stands for “Elliptical-flap Aberrometry Guided Laser Enhanced Vision”)
is the newest generation of LASIK surgery, developed at the Assil Gaur Eye Institute. After years in development by renowned LASIK expert Dr. Kerry Assil, we believe it offers the best outcome of any LASIK technology available today.
This state-of-the-art fifth-generation LASIK technique was initially developed for Assil’s patients who are high contact professional athletes (which include Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Anthony Davis, Sugar Shane Mosley, Chris Paul, and Paul George, to name just a few).
We quickly found, however, that EagleVision®️ LASIK achieved superior results, not just for patients who engage in high contact sports, but for all of our patients.
This revolutionary treatment combines the very best available surgical techniques and technologies, which include:
The EagleVision®️ approach sub-divides the eye's ¨seeing surface” into 1240 adjacent zones. Each is individually measured for focusing deficiency (known as refractive error) using iDesign technology. It is the only FDA-approved technology capable of performing such highly customized measurements for each individual eye.
The measurement of the refractive error in 1240 separate zones is in stark contrast to measurements taken for producing eyeglasses and contact lenses, which only use a single averaged correction for all zones.
In addition, the EagleVision®️ approach measures other optical imperfections (called “Higher-Order Aberrations”), that can’t be corrected with glasses or contacts.
The measurement of the refractive error in 1240 separate zones is in stark contrast to measurements taken for producing eyeglasses and contact lenses. They only use one (monofocal), two (bifocal), or, at most three (progressive) measurements to represent the entire eye’s focusing deficiency.
In addition, the EagleVision®️ approach measures other optical imperfections (called “Higher-Order Aberrations”), that can’t be corrected with glasses or contacts.
These detailed 3-D Aberration and Elevation maps of each eye are then programmed into the excimer laser.
The EagleVision®️ protocol uses custom algorithms developed by Dr. Assil to further refine the laser’s surgical treatment program to account for patient age, lifestyle, and eye shape. This allows us to give every eye the most personalized treatment program available anywhere.
The EagleVision®️ corneal flap has been totally redesigned to be more ergonomic. It has been our experience that this not only provides safe access to a larger corneal treatment area but also minimizes the risk of flap complications and post-LASIK dry eye symptoms.
The surgeons at Assil Gaur Eye Institute have been personally trained by Dr. Assil and have the degree of skill and experience to deliver the very best outcomes available today. They have performed tens of thousands of these procedures, improving the quality of life of many happy southern Californians.
Assil Gaur Eye Institute is the only ophthalmology practice in greater Los Angeles with two surgical suites equipped with a VisxTM Star S4 Excimer laser, an Intralase iFS Femtosecond laser, and an iDesign Refractive Studio.
