LASIK and Cataract Surgeons at Gordon & Weiss Vision in San Diego, CA

At Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute in La Jolla, CA, ophthalmologists and LASIK eye surgeons are announcing the recent implementation of the latest laser technology available in the vision correction industry. Doctors at the Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute say that, for more than 25 years, they have been setting the standard for laser vision correction in San Diego, which is why they were compelled to provide the Wavelight optimized correction capabilities of the Allegretto FS200.

For over 25 years, the ophthalmologists and eye surgeons at Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute have been performing LASIK and laser vision correction procedures in San Diego, while remaining committed to pursuing the cutting-edge of laser technology. With the recent implementation of the Allegretto FS200, the surgeons say they are proud to continue this pursuit as it provides patients with the safest and most effective methods of vision correction.

The surgeons at Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute say laser refractive surgery such as Custom LASIK, PRK, or LASEK, has corrected the vision of over 6 million people, with an estimated 98% of conventional vision correction patients now seeing 20/20 or better. LASIK is a two-step procedure, first creating a flap and then treating the curvature of the eye with a laser to correct vision. According to the Gordon Weiss Schanzlin Vision surgeons, flap creation with the new Allegretto FS200 allows for greater precision and accuracy. Lower energy levels, faster treatment time and greater customization, improves healing and results. The new femtosecond laser is the only system designed to fully integrate with the excimer laser to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. As technology allows the specialists at Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute to close in on perfection, they stress that while no refractive laser surgery can be guaranteed 100% of the time, the Allegretto FS200 brings them a little bit closer to perfect vision.
