• Technology
  The Millennium Park Eye Center provides the most cutting-edge technology for all the available Laser Vision Correction procedures. All technology at the Millennium Park Eye Center has been clinically proven and the laser technology used for your Laser Vision Correction procedure has been FDA approved.

• IntraLase Method™
  The IntraLase Method™ is a 100% blade-free approach to creating your corneal flap, the thin flap of tissue that the doctor folds back in order to perform your LASIK procedure. Traditionally, doctors have used an instrument called a microkeratome for the creation of corneal flaps. The microkeratome is a hand-held blade that moves across the eye, cutting the corneal flap as it goes. The IntraLase Method™, by contrast, enables your doctor to create your corneal flap without a blade ever touching your eye.

• CustomCornea®
  The Millennium Park Eye Center is proud to offer CustomCornea®, the most advances laser vision correction available, using Alcon’s LADARVision System. This Vision Correction technology measures a patient’s unique vision problems before surgery and creates a customized laser vision correction procedure to the match your individual vision problems. This next-generation technology addresses underlying vision problems that previously were undetectable and untreatable.
