Down-Up LASIK differs from standard LASIK because the procedure lifts the layer of the cornea in a different direction during surgery. With standard LASIK, the surgeon creates a flap by cutting an almost-complete circle that starts from the temporal side of the eye to the nasal side. Down-Up LASIK, however, makes the flap by starting at the bottom of the eye, so the surgeon can lift the layer of the cornea upward from the lower (down) position. This results in a safer, more natural hinge that can reduce complications and decrease healing time.

Some of the advantages of our Down-Up LASIK include the following:

• After treatment, the layer is kept in its “natural” position by the blinking of the eye.
• It is Safer.
• Quicker return of vision.
• More comfortable.
• Can be used on farsighted patients (side to side).
