Using the precise beam of the excimer laser, Dr. Jerry Maida
carefully reshapes the curvature of the cornea so that it
focuses light correctly on the retina. This reshaping takes
place on a microscopic level, involving the removal of layers of
cells thinner than a human hair. The laser does not actually
burn the cells away, but merely breaks the molecular bonds
between the cells. The cool ultraviolet beam of light produced
by the excimer laser is so precise that each pulse removes only
39 millionths of an inch of tissue!IntraLase®:

At Maida CustomVision, we are pleased to offer our patients
the Next Generation LASIK procedure. It's called "IntraLASIK",
one of the most exciting breakthroughs in refractive surgery
history. With no mechanical incisions required, our All-Laser
IntraLASIK procedure is less invasive and offers patients
unprecedented safety & precision.
CustomCornea:
More info
CUSTOMCORNEAź has successfully corrected the
vision of over 6 million people. An estimated 98% of these
patients now see 20/20 to 2/40 without glasses. Just being able
to read the 20/20 line doesn't necessarily mean you have
excellent vision though, especially if the letters you identify
are not crisp and clear. Conventional laser vision correction
can only address the visual distortions that account for about
85-90% of the quality of vision.
Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK):
More info
PRK (Photo Refractive Keratectomy) is a surface treatment.
Rather than create a flap, the epithelial cells, which cover the
cornea, are removed. The reshaping of the cornea with the
excimer laser is then done, just as in Lasik.
Conductive Kertoplasty:
More info
CK is the first non-laser procedure for farsightedness. CK
uses the controlled release of radio frequency (RF) energy,
instead of a laser or scalpel, to reshape the cornea. CK is a
safe, minimally invasive alternative procedure to laser for
farsighted patients. CK is fast: The procedure is performed in
just under three minutes.
