2. Concerned about night vision.

One of the problems that the early pioneers of LASIK technology would occasionally deal with were issues of night glare or halos. Wonderful clear daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses was a huge triumph for laser vision technology and the trade off of a few halos didn’t seem all that bad. But if we could obtain both great daytime and nighttime vision? Even better!

 

Billions of research dollars combined with ground breaking and innovative contributions of some of the brightest minds in optical engineering and laser technology have produced a solution to the night vision challenge. That solution is wavefront guided treatments combined with the Intralase method for LASIK. And the results have been outstanding. With today’s wavefront guided Intralase, iris registration for accurate pulse placement and a better understanding of corneal physiology, night vision issues that affect vision adversely are extremely rare.

 

Don’t just take our word for it. Check out what some of the leaders in vision correction are saying. Today, more than 1,200 surgeons worldwide have incorporated the blade-free IntraLase Method into their LASIK practices. In fact, the majority of the top U.S. ophthalmic teaching institutes, including Duke University Medical School, the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins, the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at University of Miami, and Stanford University use the IntraLase FS laser technology to train future generations of LASIK surgeons.

 

Even the US military is treating their top aviators with this new technology. US military personnel need every advantage when engaged in combat. That is why the US military now provides wavefront guided laser vision correction with the Intralase method for their fighting force. As night operations require the best vision possible, they have rigorously tested the vision outcomes from laser vision correction. The results are in…wavefront guided treatments provide excellent night vision.

 

In fact, the Defense Logistics Agency has announced that it is spending $45 million dollars for lasers and procedures for the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Federal Civilian agencies. There is clearly no group of individuals who rely more on their vision in extreme and sometimes life-threatening conditions than military personnel. As a result, the US military is investing heavily in Wavefront guided laser technology and Intralase blade free LASIK. The Defense Logistics agency is committed to ensuring that military personnel have access to the “best-of-the-best” technology and have put their money where their mouth is.

 

According to Capt. Steve Schallhorn, Navy Program Manager for Refractive Surgery, "Wavefront guided LASIK using the IntraLase Method represents the best-of-the-best and is a truly exciting advancement for critical Navy personnel whose sight is of utmost importance in their military duties."

 

You may not need to engage the enemy under cover of night or pilot a supersonic combat jet for a nighttime desert sortie, but you probably need to navigate your car home on a rainy night or enjoy a meteor shower on a balmy summer evening. If concerns over night vision are holding you back, then you need to visit Will Vision and Laser Centers today and find out why our leading edge technology is changing the way people see the world at night as well as during the day.
