FAZE™ in Manhattan: Elevating Laser Vision Correction for Astigmatism

In a city where detail matters, blurry vision from astigmatism can slow you down. At Cohen Eye Institute in Manhattan, we provide FAZE™: a cutting-edge laser solution engineered for clarity and stability. Dr. Ilan Cohen, whose practice is 100% focused on eye surgery, applies this proprietary technique to correct astigmatism where other procedures fall short. Whether you're navigating bright lights, city streets, or long workdays, FAZE™ can help you experience Manhattan life in sharper focus. Book your consultation today to see if you're a candidate.

What Is FAZE™?

FAZE™ is a specialized laser method that zeroes in on astigmatism at its root. Unlike basic LASIK, which may not fully correct irregular corneal curvatures, FAZE™ leverages topographic mapping to direct the laser's energy exactly where needed.

This refined approach means fewer residual distortions and a more consistent post-op outlook. By blending advanced scanning techniques with Dr. Cohen's background in corneal care, FAZE™ often yields quicker recoveries, sharper vision, and fewer night-vision concerns for patients across a range of astigmatism levels.

Benefits of FAZE™

Opting for FAZE™ in Manhattan offers a range of key advantages:

  • Customized corneal reshaping for astigmatism
  • Accelerated visual clarity in many cases
  • Decreased likelihood of returning errors
  • Increased corneal stability post-surgery
  • Reduced dependency on spectacles or contacts
  • Patient-specific design for each eye

What to Expect During Your FAZE™ Treatment in Manhattan

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation at our Manhattan clinic, including corneal topography, dryness checks, and other analyses to confirm you're a strong candidate. On treatment day, numbing drops ensure a comfortable experience.

The surgeon may create a corneal flap with a femtosecond laser, then use the FAZE™ laser to reshape the cornea according to your custom plan, focusing on the zones causing astigmatism. Most procedures wrap up within 30 minutes for both eyes, and you'll typically notice an improvement soon after.

A slight dryness or sensitivity to light is common early on, but these effects generally subside as healing progresses. We'll ask you to return for follow-up exams over the next days and weeks to confirm stable healing and address any questions.

Are You a Good Candidate for FAZE™?

If you've been diagnosed with mild, moderate, or severe astigmatism and want a more specialized approach than regular LASIK, FAZE™ in Manhattan could be an excellent fit. Ideal patients have healthy eyes, a stable prescription for at least one year, and no underlying diseases that compromise corneal integrity. Additionally, lifestyle factors matter. Whether you're an athlete, a night driver, or someone who works extensively with screens, Dr. Cohen will adjust the plan to meet your specific visual demands. A personal consultation ensures this advanced procedure meets your unique needs.

Frequently Asked Questions FAZE™

Can FAZE™ address other refractive errors?

Yes. While it excels at resolving astigmatism, it can also tackle nearsightedness or farsightedness when combined with corneal mapping.

Will I feel discomfort during or after the procedure?

You might sense mild pressure, but anesthetic drops are used throughout. Any dryness or mild irritation typically fades within days.

How soon can I drive or return to work?

Most patients resume daily tasks within one to two days, though it varies. Your doctor will advise on post-op activity limitations.

Does insurance cover FAZE™?

Laser surgery is often elective, so insurance coverage might be limited. Our team can discuss financing options to fit your budget.

Are touch-ups possible if my vision changes later?

Yes. Enhancements can be performed if necessary, though many patients enjoy stable outcomes long after surgery.
