Julie Has a Whole New Appreciation for Art After Her EagleVision LASIK Procedure

What is the EagleVision LASIK procedure? 

In 1999, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the LASIK vision correction technique for treating refractive errors. This procedure, also known as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is performed to rectify various eye conditions. 

Over the past 25+ years, elective LASIK surgery has made many advances, and EagleVision is the latest generation of this technology, offering incredibly precise and individualized surgery based on each patient's unique eye characteristics, such as longsightedness (presbyopia), nearsightedness (myopia), and astigmatism.

The EagleVision LASIK laser vision correction procedure, exclusive to Assil Gaur Eye Institute, uses three different refined technologies: iDesign, which uses wavefront technology to measure refractive errors precisely; an excimer Laser; and a femtosecond laser. 

EagleVision LASIK surgery stands out from traditional LASIK due to its emphasis on precision and customization enabling specific treatment to individual patients. Here are some of the key aspects that make it different:

High-definition customization 

EagleVision LASIK uses advanced wavefront technology (iDesign) to create a detailed eye map, allowing ultra-precise corrections tailored to each patient's unique vision profile. This helps to reduce visual aberrations, eye dryness, and starbursts while providing sharper vision, especially in low-light conditions.

Increased LASIK flap stability 

EagleVision's elliptical-shaped LASIK flap provides greater corneal flap stability, an important consideration for those in high-contact occupations. This is one reason EagleVision LASIK is the choice of professional athletes such as NBA stars LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Paul George, and Chris Paul, to name just a few. It’s an excellent choice for anyone in a physically demanding job, but also for weekend warriors and those who enjoy physical activities in their spare time.

Excellent night vision 

One of the complaints with standard LASIK has been issues with glare and halos, particularly at night. EagleVision LASIK focuses on minimizing these side effects by offering more accurate and highly personalized correction, which can lead to improved night vision outcomes for patients.

Enhanced safety and vision correction accuracy 

Using state-of-the-art laser technology, EagleVision ensures accurate eye tracking and adjustments during the surgery, leading to more predictable outcomes.

Potentially broader eligibility 

Patients who might have previously been told they were not ideal candidates for traditional LASIK may benefit from EagleVision LASIK thanks to its advanced customization options and the extensive expertise and experience of our surgeons.

Fast recovery 

Many patients report quicker recovery times with EagleVision LASIK, experiencing clearer vision within a day or two of surgery.

Julie's history of vision problems 

"My vision problems began at nine years old, if not earlier. I remember always having to wear eyeglasses or contacts. Without them, my world was totally blurry," says the mother of two. "And while I'd always had terrible eyesight, it was now getting noticeably worse, and I felt it was finally time for me to do something about it."

So, earlier this year, Julie, 41, was referred by her eye doctor to Dr. Gaur, an ophthalmologist and LASIK surgeon at Assil Gaur Eye Institute.

"Dr. Gaur understood that I was sick and tired of relying on glasses and contacts,” Julie explained. 

After a thorough eye exam, Dr. Gaur explained to Julie that her vision was deteriorating faster than ever because she also had presbyopia (the gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus on nearby objects). 

“Dr. Gaur explained that, in addition to glasses or contacts for my shortsightedness, I would soon need reading glasses,” Julie said. "I realized then that the time was right to correct my eyesight.”

At the end of the evaluation, Julie was thrilled when Dr. Gaur told her that she was a good candidate for laser vision correction.

“When Dr. Gaur gave me the news that I could finally live without glasses or contacts, I was so relieved,” she said.

About Julie's LASIK eye surgery at Assil Gaur Eye Institute 

As the date for her surgery inched closer, Julie became increasingly nervous. "I was afraid that my eyesight had deteriorated so much that there would be no margin for error," she said. But when she attended the clinic, she soon learned that all her worrying had been for nothing. 

“Dr. Gaur first applied numbing medicine, so the procedure was painless, and it took less than 15 minutes. And boy, was it worth it!” Julie said.

She went on to say, "Dr. Gaur has literally changed my life," adding that she is delighted that she no longer needs to wear glasses. “The surgery was over very quickly; the recovery time was short and uncomplicated—I only needed eye drops—and now I feel I’ve got awesome new eyes!"

Julie also praised the office staff, who she says played a crucial role in her journey as a LASIK patient. "They understood my trepidations and provided the necessary information and guidance that I needed at each step of the way. I was encouraged to reach out with any questions, and the staff provided reassurance and addressed my fears about the procedure itself with first-hand information.” 

Julie continued, "All my questions were answered, and with their professional approach and communication, the staff was instrumental in making my journey toward clear vision smooth, comfortable, and hassle-free. I'm so grateful for their support.” 

So now, thanks to everyone at the Assil Gaur Eye Institute, Julie is able to continue her career in the art world, and her failing eyesight is a thing of the past.
