iDESIGN LASIK in Shreveport-Bossier
At Lusk Eye Specialists, we’ve helped countless patients experience the freedom of clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Over the past 30 years, LASIK technology has advanced significantly — and we’ve advanced right along with it. Our Shreveport-Bossier eye surgeons are committed to using only the most innovative technology and procedures available, ensuring you receive the safest treatment and best possible results.
Here at Lusk Eye Specialists, staying at the forefront of technology is a point of pride for our doctors and staff. That’s why we offer the iDESIGN® Refractive Studio, which allows us to perform remarkably accurate, precise, and personalized LASIK procedures. This technology has completely reshaped how LASIK is performed, making vision correction more reliable and effective than ever before.
What is iDESIGN LASIK?
The iDESIGN Refractive Studio is an FDA-approved, all-laser system for LASIK. It’s the first platform to combine wavefront-guided and topography-integrated technology, enabling our surgeons to customize treatment for each patient with unmatched precision and control. By addressing the smallest imperfections of the eye, it ensures your LASIK procedure is tailored to your unique visual needs.
The Importance of Precise LASIK Measurements
Every eye — and every refractive error — is unique. Traditional prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses, however, have limitations in accuracy. This means two patients with the same prescription may still see the world differently.
With iDESIGN LASIK, our surgeons can correct vision with far greater accuracy. Using this advanced system, we can tailor treatment for nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Precise measurements are critical, as they inform our surgeons of your eyes’ unique characteristics and guide the excimer laser during your procedure. The result is a level of customization that simply isn’t possible with older LASIK techniques.
Wavefront-Guided LASIK
The iDESIGN system begins with a wavefront analysis, which measures how light travels through your eyes. Unlike a standard eye exam that evaluates overall focusing power, wavefront technology captures data from multiple reference points. This provides detailed insight into each eye’s subtle imperfections and creates a treatment plan that’s as individual as your fingerprint.
Topography-Integrated LASIK
In addition, the iDESIGN system creates a corneal topography map, measuring even the most minor variations in curvature, elevation, and scarring. This comprehensive mapping allows our surgeons to personalize your LASIK treatment with extreme accuracy. For patients who may have been told in the past that they weren’t candidates for LASIK, this expanded level of detail often opens the door to new possibilities.
The Benefits of iDESIGN LASIK
Think of your eyes like fingerprints — completely unique. With traditional LASIK, this fingerprint may appear slightly blurred, producing “good enough” vision but not perfection.
The iDESIGN system captures every critical detail of your eye’s fingerprint, guiding the laser to deliver more accurate and personalized results. In fact, iDESIGN is 25 times more precise than traditional methods of measuring refractive errors.
It’s also the only wavefront-guided technology approved for monovision LASIK in patients with presbyopia. That means if you’ve been told you weren’t a candidate for LASIK in the past, iDESIGN may now provide you with a solution. Patients often tell us that their only regret is not having LASIK sooner — and with iDESIGN, those results are safer and more predictable than ever.
