Laser Eye Surgery

Laser Eye Surgery Longmont Colorado

Based in Lafayette, Colorado, InSight Lasik offers several different types of eye surgery for patients in neighboring Longmont seeking vision correction and our surgeons 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 procedure used in the InSight Lasik Lafayette clinic, right outside Longmont. 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 Longmont, Loveland and all of Boulder County, 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 the CK procedure, 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 in their practice.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

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

WaveFront Optimized Technologies

There are myriad causes for poor vision. Now, there are multiple solutions to correct poor vision. New Wavefront Optimized technology allows the InSight eye surgeons to examine the entire optical system.  The Allegretto 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 for all our Longmont patients.
