The LASIK population in Japan has been increasing every year since 2000. However, there are many people who are not informed about the procedure and still are fearful and anxious towards LASIK treatment compared to Europe and the United States.
AMO(Abbott Medical Optics, Inc)has unified the World’s best Medical Technologies to offer safer and the highest quality of Laser Vision Correction.
The technology to measure individual cornea condition precisely and to program the ideal Laser irradiation.
The technology to create the flap with controlled depth and width safely by using Laser beam.
The technology to irradiate Laser beams safely and precisely without no burden on your cornea.
In December, 2006, the US Dept. of Defense approved the iLASIK® as the only vision correction treatment for their fighter pilots. NASA approved iLASIK® for their astronauts in September, 2007. Under the severely harsh environment and circumstances such as acceleration, the cockpit pressure, and all activities in outer space, their vision must sustain its acuity. iLASIK® is the only Laser Vision Correction treatment approved for safety and stability. It is also approved for the fields of the US National interests.
As our fingerprints differ from other individuals, the shape of the cornea and its thickness are the same; no two are alike. With the latest medical technology, it is possible to create the original Laser irradiation program just for you. It enables us to correct the finest distortion of your cornea and deliver better acuity than glasses and/or contact lenses.
Did you know there is a difference in acuity of the same 20/20 vision? The two pictures below show an example of the same 20/20 vision. As you can see, there is a significant difference in the quality of the vision. Some difficulty remained in the vision correction by the conventional LASIK method, which was not capable to ensure the acuity improvement even though it corrected the vision. The CustomVue is capable of improving the quality of your vision by maximizing the potential acuity of your eyes.
Some patients who were treated by the conventional LASIK method felt light sensitive at night.
The light seemed to be bursting in the air, or creating double vision, blurred and cloudy vision. That would make driving at night somewhat difficult. iLASIK® resolved these light sensitivities significantly. According to the US research data, four time as much iLASIK® treated patients testified that they had their night vision improved compared to the number of the patients treated by the conventional LASIK methods. （AMO, Inc.

92% patients achieved 20/20 vision within 1 month after surgery.
Satisfaction for night vision improved more than 20%

Right after the surgery, my vision was somewhat blurry, so I was anxious as to whether I would be able to see clearly. However, the very next day, I was very surprised that my vision was 20/12 when I came in for the following day post-op check-up.
Moreover, I was so excited when I could see the scrolling words on my TV screen in the morning,
Since I love to drive, I was very happy when I drove my car without glasses or contact lens for the first time.
The biggest difference from wearing contact lenses is my sense of perspective: I can see clearly, have depth perception and see that every object has 3 dimensions. Even the landscape in the far distance is now much clearer. When I saw Mt. Fuji, I could see the details of the snowcapped mountaintop, which really amazed me.
My daily life has become much more comfortable. I cannot thank you enough. It was nice that my sister received the iLASIK® treatment at the same time as I did. I feel lucky to have her to share this great feeling.
This great feeling can be understood only by those who actually received the treatment. I truly think that I should have done this much earlier in my life.
