That is a different question from whether a blade or a femtosecond laser makes the corneal flap.<\/p><p>The word \u201ccustom\u201d does not promise better vision for every patient or eliminate glare, halos or dry eye. Ask the surgeon which measurements support the proposed treatment, the exact device and treatment mode, and which benefits are realistic compared with alternatives for your eyes. Request the patient information for that device. Comparing an advertised technology name alone cannot tell you whether its approved treatment range and risk profile fit your prescription and cornea.<\/p><h2>What benefits should be weighed against the limits of LASIK?<\/h2><p>Reduced dependence on distance glasses does not mean freedom from every future prescription. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nei.nih.gov\/eye-health-information\/eye-conditions-and-diseases\/refractive-errors\/surgery-refractive-errors\">NEI explains that LASIK does not correct presbyopia<\/a>, the age-related loss of near focusing ability, so reading glasses may still be needed. Dry eye, glare, halos and healing problems are possible, and some effects can persist. Compare the expected benefit for your own activities with those risks and with keeping glasses or contacts; a favorable first day is not the end of healing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f10fb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f10fb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>#fep-appt-modal{position:fixed;inset:0;z-index:2147483000;display:none;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:rgba(29,29,29,.55);padding:16px;font-family:Poppins,sans-serif}#fep-appt-modal.fep-open{display:flex}#fep-appt-modal .fep-card{position:relative;background:#fff;max-width:440px;width:100%;padding:32px 28px 28px;border-top:6px solid #02ACE3;box-shadow:0 18px 50px rgba(0,0,0,.3);text-align:center}#fep-appt-modal .fep-h{margin:0 0 10px;font-size:26px;line-height:1.25;font-weight:600;color:#1D1D1D}#fep-appt-modal .fep-p{margin:0 0 22px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;color:#464648}#fep-appt-modal a.fep-b{display:block;margin:0 0 10px;padding:13px 20px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;text-decoration:none;border:3px solid #02ACE3}#fep-appt-modal a.fep-b1{background:#02ACE3;color:#fff}#fep-appt-modal a.fep-b2{background:#fff;color:#1D1D1D}#fep-appt-modal .fep-x{position:absolute;top:6px;right:8px;width:40px;height:40px;border:0;background:transparent;font-size:28px;line-height:1;color:#464648;cursor:pointer}#fep-appt-modal .fep-no{background:none;border:0;padding:6px;font-size:14px;color:#707070;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer}#fep-appt-modal .fep-face{margin:0 0 14px;padding:0}#fep-appt-modal .fep-face img{display:block;width:104px;height:104px;margin:0 auto 8px;border-radius:50%;object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 10%;border:3px solid #02ACE3;background:#e6e6e6}#fep-appt-modal .fep-face span{display:block;font-size:14px;line-height:1.35;color:#464648}<\/style><div id=\"fep-appt-modal\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"fep-appt-h\"><div class=\"fep-card\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"fep-x\" aria-label=\"Close\" data-fep-close=\"1\">&times;<\/button><div class=\"fep-face\"><img data-fep-src=\"https:\/\/familyeyephysicians.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/al-khudari.webp\" alt=\"Dr. Mohammad Al-Khudari, MD, Family Eye Physicians\" width=\"104\" height=\"104\"><span><strong>Mohammad Al-Khudari, MD<\/strong> \u00b7 Family Eye Physicians<\/span><\/div><p class=\"fep-h\" id=\"fep-appt-h\">Request an Appointment<\/p><p class=\"fep-p\">Our eye doctors see patients at six Chicagoland offices.
