What is Soft-Touch LASIK?
Wang Vision Institute was the first in the state to perform Soft-Touch LASIK.
Our team at Wang Vision Institute possesses unrivaled skills and experience when it comes to performing the most revolutionary refractive surgery techniques, including bladeless Soft-Touch LASIK. LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is the most popular refractive treatment in the ophthalmology field. At Wang Vision Institute, we were the first center in the state with Soft-Touch LASIK, which uses less than 1/3 of the pressure on the eye than traditional LASIK. This technique provides a more comfortable, less traumatic experience for you and your eyes. Hundreds of thousands of individuals around the globe have chosen this transformative surgery and are left amazed by the improvement in their vision. LASIK surgery has been FDA approved since 1999 and can reduce or fully eliminate myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism by precisely altering the contour of the cornea, allowing light to be directed properly on the retina. Some of the most noteworthy aspects of Soft-Touch LASIK are that it is extremely quick and virtually pain-free, and it is known to provide lasting outcomes.
At Wang Vision Institute, our goal is for every individual to live life with their clearest vision. We understand that sharp eyesight may have a tremendous impact on everyday life and that experiencing the clearest eyesight possible can enhance everything from task performance to favorite pastimes.

HOW DOES Soft-Touch LASIK STAND OUT?
While most ophthalmology centers continue to carry out traditional LASIK procedures, Wang Vision Institute implements the latest tools and techniques to further maximize your laser vision correction surgery. Unlike traditional LASIK, which is performed with a surgeon looking through a traditional microscope, Soft-Touch LASIK utilizes three-dimensional image-guided technology to give our surgeons a comprehensive view of your eye. This allows our ophthalmologists to carry out LASIK procedures with increased precision and accuracy, thus improving the quality and outcomes of your surgery.
