Laser Eye Surgery Boulder Colorado

InSight Lasik offers several different types of eye surgery for people in Boulder, Colorado seeking vision correction. The surgeons in InSight Lasik's Boulder clinic have performed thousands of laser eye surgery correction procedures. Among them:

LASIK

(Laser-Assisted-In-Situ Keratomileusis) is currently the most common type of laser vision correction surgery used in the InSight LASIK Boulder clinic. It is an extremely effective outpatient eye surgery procedure that is suitable for low, moderate, and higher prescriptions. It can be used to correct severe prescriptions, and is currently one of the most commonly performed eye surgery procedures in Boulder and all of Colorado.

Although no medical procedure is perfect, the excimer laser allows for an unparalleled degree of precision and predictability in eye surgery. Each pulse of the laser can remove 39-millionths of an inch of tissue in 12-billionths of a second. This enables an experienced surgeon to achieve remarkable accuracy while maintaining excellent control throughout the procedure.

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK)

InSight Lasik offered the first Refractec Viewpoint Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) system in Colorado. For its work with CK, InSight Lasik has been named a CK Center of Excellence-one of only three such centers in the United States. As a Center of Excellence, InSight instructs eye surgeons and their staff members on the implementation and optimization of CK surgery in their practice.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

At InSight Lasik in Colorado, our surgeons utilize PRK surgery for laser vision correction patients who are not good candidates for LASIK. PRK is often an appropriate treatment choice for patients who are not eligible for LASIK due to thin corneas.

WaveFront Optimized Technologies

For many InSight Lasik surgery patients there are numerous causes for poor vision.  The Allegretto Eye-Q represents a new generation of refractive technology, and is the only system specifically designed for Custom LASIK from its inception, rather than being adapted or "upgraded" at a later date. Wavelight's Allegretto represents a new generation of refractive technology referred to as "High Performance Vision Correction," that allows patients to achieve exceptional results under all lighting situations, day and night, reducing incidents of "halos" and glare.
