Z-LASIK is a simple procedure that combines FEMTO LDV™ and VISX STAR S4 IR® with CustomVue techology for greater precision, speed and comfort. A leading Dallas/Fort Worth Z-LASIK specialist, Phillips Kirk Labor, MD performs all Z-LASIK procedures in our office with the highest attention to detail. To give you an understanding of Z-LASIK, here are some highlights of what you can expect. Dr. Labor will provide you with more detailed information at your consultation.

Measuring the eye

Just like a finger print, each person's vision is 100% unique to their eyes. VISX® CustomVue allows Dr. Labor to measure your individual vision imperfections, using this as a guide to reshape the cornea during your laser vision treatment. This highly accurate part of the process will help assure the best possible results.

Making the corneal flap

LASIK involves making a flap in the cornea and reshaping its inner tissue. Using the blade-free FEMTO LDV laser, Dr. Labor creates the flap much quicker and with better precision than a traditional "bladed" cut. In addition, FEMTO LDV provides more safety and comfort, speeds recovery and allows the next step to begin without delay.

Customizing the laser treatment

At this point, Dr. Labor has created your own "WavePrint" map to follow as he customizes your treatment to correct your unique vision imperfections. Throughout your procedure, you can fully relax knowing that very soon you'll see more clearly without glasses or contacts by receiving the best possible LASIK treatment available today.
