iDesign iLasik is the most advanced iLasik technology utilised in Singapore which was pioneered by Dr Natasha Lim. It boasts a 5 times higher resolution than its predecessors and has been used by NASA for their Astronauts and the US Military for their Aviators. Dr Natasha Lim specialises in customising treatments for each patient using Wavefront-Guided iDesign which benefits all her patients by providing them with better night vision after LASIK surgery.
iDesign iLasik surgery is split into 3 main steps:
- iDesign Advanced Wavescan
- Intralase Bladeless Flap creation
- VISX Star S4 IR Excimer Laser
iDesign Advanced Wavescan
iDesign is the world’s most advanced Wavefront-Guide Aberrometer which uses its wavescan system to scan each eye over the pupil using 1257 data points to measure the wavefront of the eye to create a unique map for treatment. iDesign provides the greatest precision in measuring irregularities in the eye and not only does it help patients achieve independence from the need for spectacles, it also helps improve visual quality and contrast sensitivity significantly in low-light areas.
Intralase Bladeless Flap creation
Modern LASIK surgery features a bladeless technique to create a LASIK flap called the femtosecond (iFS) laser system which is also known as “All-Laser LASIK”. Dr Natasha Lim uses the most advanced iFS to create a bladeless flap in 12 seconds using minimal energy to create the thinnest flap possible for speedy recovery.
This ensures that there will not be any damage to the cornea for long term safety and stability and Dr Lim’s LASIK surgeries are truly bladeless using this method.
VISX Star S4 IR Excimer Laser
The next step is Iris Registration which is necessary for compensating for cyclotorsion that occurs when the patient goes from the upright position to lying down. Cyclotorsion occurs when the visual axis of an eye is rotated. This can be caused by misaligned laser ablation which can cause irregular astigmatism and diminished visual clarity. Even 2 degrees of torsional error can induce higher-order aberrations in the eye.
VISX Star S4 Iris Recognition (IR)’s Wavefront-Guided treatment gives superior outcomes because the treatment uses Iris Recognition technology that ensures delivery of a well-centered treatment and variable spot-scanning that helps with tissue saving. Each individual eye is given tailor-made vision provided by this system and the excimer laser treatment is applied under the corneal flap. The ViSX Star Excimer laser is proven to completely eliminate myopia, presbyopia and astigmatism.
