Our Lasik Eye Surgery Services

MARSHFIELD CLINIC LASIK EYE SURGERY SERVICES

Candidates for LASIK laser eye surgery should be at least 21 years old, have healthy eyes, stable vision and a refractive error within the range of effective treatment. You will be thoroughly evaluated by your eye doctor to determine if you are a good candidate and could benefit from the surgery.

Specific laser eye surgery technologies offered by Marshfield Clinic include:

Standard Refractive eye surgery is performed using the Visx Star S4 Active Track Excimer Laser system, which provides extra safety and precision during the procedure by verifying the correct position of your eye before every laser pulse. Real-time eye tracking enables the laser to lock onto the center of the pupil, even if the patient moves their eye.

• CustomVue , a newer technology, helps treat complex prescriptions by providing a precise, highly detailed analysis of your vision, almost like a 3D fingerprint of your eye. This helps your ophthalmologist customize your laser eye surgery for better results. In particular, it can reduce the chance of night-vision disturbances and glare.  It also reduces any existing distortions, including irregular astigmatism and spherical aberration, leading to potentially fewer visual side effects and improved quality of vision after refractive eye surgery.


• Blade-Free Custom LASIK , IntraLase 100% bladeless technology, allows surgery to be performed without requiring a blade to prepare the cornea for laser eye surgery. This method shortens recovery time for most patients.
