Most patients are pleasantly surprised to find that at Loden Vision Centers, LASIK is 100% all-laser. Unlike traditional LASIK, where the first step is to create a flap with a handheld metal blade called a microkeratome, LASIK at Loden Vision is 100% blade-free. While traditional LASIK with a blade is outdated, some surgeons still use this technique.
Always at the forefront of technology and innovation, it’s no surprise that Loden Vision Centers was the first in Tennessee to offer patients advanced LASIK for its safety and increased accuracy with no metal blade. Using lasers for every step of the procedure allows Dr. Loden and his team of LASIK experts unprecedented control and precision for outstanding visual outcomes. Additionally, as the first Tennessee LASIK surgeon to perform the procedure, Dr. Loden is also the most experienced LASIK surgeon in Nashville and the surrounding Tennessee areas.
In “old technique” or traditional LASIK, a handheld mechanical device called a microkeratome uses a metal blade to cut into the surface of the eye (the cornea) to create a flap. Unfortunately, this is how many surgeons still perform LASIK.
In blade-free LASIK, the metal blade is replaced with a laser called IntraLase. The IntraLase iFS™ Laser creates the flap in the first step of the procedure, with the safety and accuracy of a computer controlled, cold beam laser. This is a safe and predictable approach to laser vision correction.
At Loden Vision Centers, we believe that LASIK eye surgery cost should not be a barrier to receiving this potentially life-altering vision procedure. Instead, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to experience the joy of clear vision with an advanced LASIK procedure. To make LASIK more accessible for our patients, we offer personalized financing options—including 24 months interest-free plans starting as low as $125 per month per eye, or extended 60-month plans with reduced APR starting at just $81 per month per eye. We also provide a variety of payment options designed to fit nearly any budget. That’s one of our “Only I Can” guarantees at Loden Vision Centers.
