What Is LASIK Laser Vision Correction?
LASIK vision correction is a safe and effective laser procedure that can help you achieve clear vision and reduce your dependence on glasses or contacts. During the LASIK procedure, a highly precise laser reshapes the cornea, the clear dome at the front of your eye. This reshaping corrects focusing problems and allows light to enter your eye more accurately, resulting in sharper vision. Berkeley Eye Center Corpus Christi utilizes the most advanced LASIK technology available, including the iDESIGN® LASIK 2.1.1 Technology with CustomVue® technology and the IntraLase® femtosecond laser.
Here’s a breakdown of the advancements:
- iDESIGN® LASIK 2.1.1 Technology with CustomVue® technology: This advanced system creates a customized map of your cornea, allowing for a more precise and personalized LASIK treatment compared to traditional methods.
- IntraLase® femtosecond laser: This laser uses ultra-fast pulses of light to create a precise corneal flap, enhancing the accuracy and control of the LASIK procedure.
By incorporating these technologies, Berkeley Eye Center Corpus Christi offers a comfortable and efficient LASIK experience with potentially sharper vision and improved outcomes.

Am I a Candidate for Corpus Christi LASIK?
LASIK surgery is a safe and effective procedure for many people, but it’s not suitable for everyone. Here are some general factors that influence candidacy:
- Age: Ideally, candidates should be at least 18 years old and have had stable vision for at least one year. This ensures your eye prescription has stabilized and you’re a good candidate for long-term results.
- Eye Health: Overall good eye health is crucial. LASIK may not be suitable for those with certain pre-existing conditions like keratoconus (corneal thinning), cataracts, or severe dry eye.
- Corneal Thickness: The thickness of your cornea is a vital factor. A healthy cornea provides enough tissue for the LASIK procedure.
While these are some general considerations, the best way to determine if LASIK is right for you is to schedule a free consultation at Berkeley Eye Center Corpus Christi. During your consultation, our experienced ophthalmologist will perform a comprehensive eye exam, discuss your individual needs and vision goals, and assess your candidacy for LASIK surgery.
