Are glasses or contact lenses limiting your comfort, convenience, or confidence during everyday activities? All-laser LASIK uses advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea and improve how light focuses inside the eye, helping many patients reduce their dependence on corrective eyewear.
Optima Eye Care provides all-laser LASIK in Hayward, CA, with treatment tailored to your prescription, corneal shape, and lifestyle. Fellowship-trained corneal and refractive surgeons Mark R. Mandel, MD, and Robin Kuriakose, MD, combine extensive experience with advanced Allegretto, IntraLase, and Ziemer laser technology to deliver precise, personalized vision correction.
Benefits of All-Laser LASIK
All-laser LASIK uses laser technology for every major step of vision correction, including creating the corneal flap and reshaping the cornea. The procedure can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by helping light focus more accurately inside the eye.
Potential benefits include:
- Reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses
- A blade-free approach to creating the corneal flap
- Treatment customized to your prescription and corneal measurements
- A short outpatient procedure
- Rapid initial improvement in vision
- Minimal disruption to your normal routine
- Greater convenience during exercise, travel, and everyday activities
Results vary, and some patients may still need glasses for reading, nighttime driving, or certain detailed tasks.
Candidates for All-Laser LASIK
You may be a candidate if you are a healthy adult with a stable prescription and corneas that can safely support treatment. A complete evaluation is necessary because your prescription alone cannot determine whether LASIK is appropriate.
Good candidates generally:
- Are at least 18 years old
- Have a stable vision prescription
- Have healthy corneas and adequate corneal thickness
- Have manageable or minimal dry eye symptoms
- Do not have an uncontrolled eye condition
- Are not pregnant or nursing
- Understand the procedure’s benefits and limitations
- Want to reduce their reliance on glasses or contacts
Patients with thin or irregular corneas, severe dry eye, unstable prescriptions, or certain eye conditions may be better suited to PRK, EVO ICL, or another LASIK alternative.
Why Choose Optima Ophthalmic Medical Associates, Inc. for All-Laser LASIK
Optima Eye Care uses advanced Allegretto laser technology with active tracking and large-pupil capabilities, as well as IntraLase and Ziemer femtosecond lasers for blade-free flap creation. Because the practice also offers PRK, EVO ICL, and Custom Lens Replacement, its surgeons can recommend the procedure that best suits your eyes rather than limiting you to a single vision correction method.
Mark R. Mandel, MD, is a fellowship-trained corneal and refractive surgery specialist known throughout the Bay Area as the “Doctor’s Doctor” because many physicians and eye care professionals trust him with their own vision. Robin Kuriakose, MD, completed advanced cornea and refractive surgery fellowship training at Northwestern University, and both surgeons are supported by Optima’s experienced laser team throughout your evaluation, treatment, and follow-up care.
