A Broad Array of Laser Vision Correction Options
Despite a considerable amount of press over the past decade, many people are still unsure about the specifics of a LASIK procedure. Simply put, LASIK is a safe, reliable, and painless laser surgery that corrects and improves vision - enabling people who used to need glasses or contact lenses to see clearly. The procedure is meant to treat eye disorders like nearsightedness and farsightedness, as well as astigmatism, by changing the way light is refracted as it passes through the cornea, so the retina can focus properly and objects can be seen clearly. This Laser Vision Correction procedure is completed by reshaping the cornea and changing the way light is refracted, with the end result being near-perfect vision – and patients can lose the eyeglasses and/or contact lenses permanently!
At NNJEI, we perform a variety of additional refractive surgeries including: IntraLase, LASEK, PRK and Wavefront. IntraLase makes use of the IntraLase® FS laser, an extremely precise tool which aids corneal flap creation, the first step in laser vision correction surgery. During the procedure, the IntraLase® laser fires up to 15,000 pulses per second into the cornea, so the flap can be custom created by a skilled eye surgeon who will determine the optimum depth and diameter for the flap, on a patient-by-patient basis. In addition to benefiting from this pinpoint (2-3 micron) accuracy, patients who undergo surgical procedures conducted with the IntraLase® laser are less likely to need an enhancement (follow-up) procedure, compared to surgeries performed with other technologies.
Many of our procedures take less than 30 minutes, and recovery time is so short that many patients experience improvements in their vision the day after the surgery.

Glaucoma Treatment at the Northern New Jersey Eye Institute
NNJEI is committed to fighting glaucoma – which is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. The condition often develops over many years, without causing pain or other noticeable symptoms – hence many people not experience vision loss until the disease has progressed. For this reason, our vision correction centers throughout northern New Jersey offer comprehensive testing for the early detection of glaucoma, in addition to medication and surgery, if detected. Thankfully, once the disease has been properly diagnosed, glaucoma can be controlled. Treatments to lower pressure in the eye include non-surgical methods such as prescription eye drops and medications, laser therapy, and surgery.
