Custom LASIK Provides Sharper, Clearer Vision
LASIK has advanced significantly since it was first introduced. Traditional LASIK corrects common vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. While effective, it does not address more subtle distortions that can affect the quality of your vision.
Custom LASIK goes a step further. By using advanced diagnostic technology, this approach can also treat higher-order aberrations like glare and halos that traditional LASIK cannot. The result is sharper focus, fewer night-vision issues, and an overall improvement in visual clarity.
The difference between traditional LASIK surgery and custom LASIK surgery can be compared to buying a suit. Traditional LASIK is like buying a great-looking suit off the rack. Custom LASIK is like buying a custom-tailored suit that fits perfectly and accounts for your specific body type. During your consultation, we can help determine which approach is best for your needs.
iDesign®: The Technology Behind Custom LASIK
At our Denver ophthalmology office, custom LASIK is powered by the iDesign® system, a state-of-the-art platform that captures five simultaneous measurements of your eyes:
- Full-gradient topography
- Wavefront aberrometry
- Autorefraction
- Keratometry
- Pupillometry
This detailed data creates a 3D “fingerprint” of your eyes, allowing your surgeon to craft a treatment plan that is highly personalized to your vision needs. Guided by this information, the excimer laser makes precise adjustments that minimize glare, halos, and starbursts at night — helping you achieve the best vision possible.
By adopting iDesign®, our surgeon, Dr. Justin Coco, is able to provide patients with the safest, most advanced form of LASIK available today.

LASIK Costs $1,995 Per Eye at Our Denver Practice
Basic insurance plans do not cover LASIK because it is considered an elective procedure. To help make LASIK a fit for your budget, we accept financing through CareCredit® and GreenSky®. These flexible payment plans allow patients to break the total cost of their care into manageable monthly payments.
What Can LASIK Correct?
Your cornea — the clear outer surface of your eye — helps bend and focus light onto the retina so you can see clearly. When the cornea is misshapen, light doesn’t focus correctly, resulting in blurry or distorted vision. These issues are called refractive errors.
LASIK works by using a laser to gently reshape the cornea so light can focus properly on the retina. Unlike glasses or contact lenses, which only bend incoming light to compensate for vision problems, LASIK addresses the source of the issue directly and provides a longer-lasting solution.
LASIK surgeons use this treatment to help patients suffering from:
Myopia (nearsightedness) causes faraway objects to appear blurry.
Often referred to as farsightedness, hyperopia makes nearby objects appear blurry.
Astigmatism is caused by an imperfect corneal shape that results in eyestrain and blurriness.

The LASIK Procedure: 3 Simple Steps
- The doctor will use a laser to create a tissue flap on the corneal surface (epithelium), which grants access to the center layer of the cornea (stroma).
- The computer-guided excimer laser will precisely remove very small amounts of corneal tissue to achieve the proper shape.
- Once treatment is complete, the flap will be carefully closed and left to heal on its own.

How to Protect Your Vision After LASIK
After your procedure, it is important that you closely follow the post-operative instructions provided by our doctors in Denver. These may include:
- Refraining from strenuous activity until you are cleared by your doctor
- Not rubbing your eyes
- Avoiding hot tubs or water sports for at least one week after surgery
- Not wearing eye makeup for at least a week
Dr. Justin Coco may also prescribe antibiotic eyedrops to reduce the risk of infection. It is normal to experience dry eyes for about six months after treatment, along with a temporary difficulty seeing at night.
Managing Temporary Dry Eyes After LASIK
Up to 70% of LASIK patients are reported to experience some degree of dry eyes after LASIK surgery. It usually lasts about three to six months, but could potentially continue for years. You may be more prone to dry eyes after LASIK if you are female or have suffered from the condition before undergoing LASIK.
If you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as irritated eyes or increased light sensitivity after LASIK surgery, we can provide several dry eye treatments. Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible ocular health, and we are prepared to make your transition into life after LASIK as comfortable and beneficial as possible.
Less Than 1% of Patients Experience Complications Technology Has Made LASIK Safer Than Ever

However, LASIK already has an impressively low complication rate: it is estimated that less than 1% of patients who undergo LASIK eye surgery experience complications.
Frequently Asked Questions About LASIK at Our Denver Office
Here are some common questions that our Colorado patients ask us regarding LASIK:
Does getting LASIK surgery hurt?
With modern advances in technology and local anesthesia, laser vision correction is a virtually painless experience for most patients. We will provide numbing eye drops, and you should only feel some mild pressure on the eye during certain steps of the surgery. Your vision may also temporarily blur or go dim during some stages, which is a normal part of the procedure.
How many years does LASIK last?
Every patient is different, so we cannot give a timeframe for how many years the results will last. The results of LASIK can last for years, but your vision may still change over time. Laser vision correction cannot prevent presbyopia, the loss of vision that occurs naturally with age. Other eye conditions and complications can also affect your vision after receiving LASIK, which is why patients should maintain their health and schedule regular eye checkups.
How can I prepare for LASIK surgery?
Before undergoing laser vision correction, patients should stop wearing contact lenses several weeks before the initial evaluation. On the day before the refractive surgery, patients should also stop wearing any makeup, cream, lotions, or perfumes until the surgeon instructs them it is safe to use those products again.
