LASIK and iLASIK™  Choosing LASIK surgery for vision correction is not the same as it was a decade or so ago. In the past, when the ophthalmologist performed LASIK surgery to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism, his options were not very extensive: a small mechanical blade, called a microkeratome, created a flap on his cornea, after which a conventional excimer laser was used to reshape the tissue underneath so that the cornea would be able to focus light directly on the retina, as it would in a normal eye. This conventional LASIK procedure requiring the surgeon to use a thin blade to cut into the cornea, presents some risks and the cut may not be made in exactly the right place. That was the only way LASIK was performed then, but now the technology is much more advanced including smoother and more precise lasers, allowing patients to achieve better vision than ever possible before. The newest technological advancement in refractive surgery is a machine called IntraLase, which allows patients to avoid operation via a metal blade, using a special laser that is used only for the purpose of flap creation. This 100% blade-free procedure makes use of the IntraLase laser which cuts into the cornea more precisely. Klinik Mata Nusantara is proud to exclusively introduce to Indonesia the innovative combination of IntraLase™ technology with the Advanced CustomVue™ treatment using VISX™ technology called iLASIK™. This is a combination of the most advanced laser vision correction tools brought together. The National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) has approved these same LASIK technologies for use on U.S. astronauts following review of extensive military clinical data using Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK with the IntraLase™ Method, which showed the combination of technologies provides superior safety and vision. The all-laser LASIK technologies, which utilize wavefront guided and femtosecond lasers, have also been cleared for U.S. military personnel, including Air Force pilots. As reported by AMO - Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (renamed Abbott Medical Optics), a U.S. based global leader in ophthalmic surgical devices and eye care products, their Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK with the IntraLase™ Method is the only procedure to incorporate the technologies specifically approved for use by NASA and has become the new standard for laser vision correction procedure in the U.S. The Advanced CustomVue™ laser vision correction procedure stands in a class of its own with the broadest range of FDA-approved indications. When combined with the power and precision of the IntraLase™ Method, the Advanced CustomVue™ procedure represents the most advanced LASIK procedure available to patients today.  iLASIK™ is painless and simple. The doctor precisely and uniquely measures and maps the uniqueness of both of your eyes - down to the most minuscule characteristics individual to you. The 3D mapping technology literally creates a blueprint or fingerprint of your eye, allowing the doctor to then custom-fit the iLASIK procedure for each of your eyes. The iLASIK™ procedure is revolutionized by the use of two computer-guided lasers - instead of one as in earlier generations of LASIK. The first, ultra-fast laser and blade free laser creates a thin corneal flap, which is then folded back to allow the second laser to correct your vision based on the exact specification and measurements of your eyes. The procedure takes just minutes. Patients experience a quick virtually painless procedure with the potential of 20/20 or better vision and outstanding safety as a result of reduced flap complications. LASIK and iLASIK™ Comparison The iLASIK™ bladeless technology results in a level of safety, accuracy and extraordinary reliability never achieved before. Clinical studies confirm that patients experience better vision, improved safety, fewer retreatments, the highest degree of predictability and precision, etc. following iLASIK™ than following a conventional LASIK procedure. In general: • More patients achieve 20/20 or better vision with iLASIK™.
• Most patients stated a preference for the post-operative vision of their iLASIK™ treated eye over the vision of their
of their eye treated with conventional LASIK.
• iLASIK™ creates fewer high and low-order aberrations thought to be associated with glare and halos at night.
• Compared with patients who have had a conventional LASIK procedure, iLASIK™ patients experienced a reduced incidence
of post -operative dry eye symptoms.
• iLASIK™ patients required fewer enhancement procedures.
• The precision of the iLASIK flap significantly reduces the incidence of post-operative induced astigmatism, as compared
with a flap created with a microkeratome blade.
With iLASIK™, there’s really no reason to put off having laser vision correction surgery.
iLASIK™ is available in Indonesia only at Klinik Mata Nusantara.
Testimonials Aline (Model & Presenter)  I started wearing spectacles when I was 6 years old in first grade, Elementary School. Then in Junior High School I began wearing soft lens.
Before I had my LASIK procedure, I was informed of the complete procedure and process. Once fully explained, I was convinced to do LASIK.
I had the newest advanced iLASIK procedure. My heart pounded, but there wasn't any pain at all during the procedure. After the surgery, my eyes felt comfortable and the next day when I woke up, my eyes were getting normal, only a little bit "foggy".
I had the post surgery examination and thought why I didn’t get iLASIK sooner. My fear and nervous were nonsense. Now I can share with you that LASIK is a great solution for your life. My life is easier (without spectacles or soft lens). Moreover, I feel happy when I wake up and see clearly without my spectacles.
I can say that with my experience, the best choice for you is iLASIK at Klinik Mata Nusantara.
Sarah Sechan (Artist & Presenter)  I am very happy with my decision to have the LASIK procedure at Klinik Mata Nusantara. After LASIK, all activities are much easier, like when I wake up, I don't have to find my spectacles anymore. I like to swim at the beach. Swimming with spectacles is not good since it could be lost in the waves. Also I can't wear soft lens when swimming.
Now after LASIK, it's okay for me to swim at the beach, swim with the dolphin or even with the sharks. As I mentioned, after LASIK all activities are easier and more convenient!
Lola Amaria (Artist)  My doctor informed me that I had a High Order Aberrations condition that could not be effectively corrected with spectacles or soft lens, but by LASIK.
Actually I was rather scared to have the LASIK procedure, but the doctor explained to me that LASIK is safe, comfortable, with no pain, only takes a few minutes, no anesthesia is needed and I could go home directly after the procedure. It was all true. There was no pain and after the 20 minute procedure, my eyes felt comfortable.
Wow, it's wonderful because I can now read small letters and characters and I can also see the sun clearly.
Hariyanto Arbi (All England Badminton Champion) 
I had minus 2 vision and for an athlete, it is a problem to wear soft lens. After iLASIK, my vision is sharper. My badminton activity is better. I can see the shuttlecock clearer. It's all more comfortable.
If you have any vision problem because of minus and cylinder, it will be solved by LASIK at Klinik Mata Nusantara.
Lucy Wiryono (Presenter)  Before I got LASIK, many friends used to complain to me because I did not respond if they waved at me from afar. Honestly, it wasn't because I was arrogant, but because I didn't like to wear spectacles and I could not see them clearly. When I was a student, I wore spectacles only in the class room.
Without spectacles, I had to squint my eyes to see clearly. Before LASIK, I didn't like to view things from a distance because I had to squint my eyes and my eyes would become painful and tired. After LASIK I eagerly read all the far away billboards and advertisements.
The LASIK procedure is very simple and fast. After the LASIK procedure of less than 15 minutes, I could see immediately.
So, if you face the same vision problems as I did, please get LASIK, of course at Klinik Mata Nusantara.
Ashley Leonard (Student from United States)  The clinic is very caring. The doctor and nurse spoke English well so that I could understand all the procedures. I was afraid at first, but after the doctor & nurse explained to me, I was confident to have the iLASIK procedure. KMN doctors show great care to patient. My doctor gave a calming explaination and assured me that I would be fine. This is very different to US doctors whose involvement is limited to the procedure only.
I had hazy vision for long time and I lke sports very much. Soft lens and spectacles bothered me.
When I was offered the iLASIK procedure, I considered for a moment how nice it would be to wake up everyday with perfect eyesight.
The iLASIK procedure changed my life. I feel it's the best technology in the world. I considered several place for LASIK and I believe I had the best procedure at KMN. After iLASIK, my vision is very good, my eyes are clear and comfortable with no dry eye or glare. I believe KMN is a dependable eye clinic you can trust and I had a very happy experience there.
