Kodiak LASIK: Laser Eye Surgery & Vision Correction Facts


Is Laser Eye Surgery right for you?

Below is a compiled resource of Kodiak LASIK laser eye surgery and vision correction facts.

Kodiak LASIK

Since LASIK surgery was first introduced in the mid 90s, we estimate about 85 Kodiak LASIK patients were among the 4 million Americans who performed LASIK or laser eye surgery.

In 2006 approximately 1.4 million Americans underwent laser vision correction surgery. Kodiak LASIK eye surgeons have performed about 30 procedures(16 male, and 14 female).

IntraLase Technology offers a bladeless alternative using laser energy instead of the traditional metal blade. According to IntraLase Corp., the number of Kodiak bladeless laser eye surgeries rose to about 7 in 2005.

Custom LASIK, also known as wave-front guided, is an individualized treatment designed specifically for each patient. Stats from the 2005 ASCRS Refractive surgery Survey shows 50% of the LASIK surgeries performed in the U.S. were custom LASIK procedures. Kodiak LASIK Surgeons performed over 15.

The average age of Kodiak's LASIK surgery candidates is 33.5. Over 17 (56%) of those having LASIK eye surgery in 2005 were within the age group of 18 to 34. Most Kodiak LASIK candidates under the age of 18 are not considered "good candidate" for the vision correction surgery due to there under developed eyes.

The typical Kodiak LASIK surgery takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes from set-up to completion. That’s both eyes done quicker than the average Kodiak 9.8 minute commute to work.
