Stanford Eye Laser Center
Dr. Manche serves as Director of Cornea and Refractive Surgery at Stanford Eye Laser Center. This state-of-the-art facility features the most advanced technologies for LASIK and other laser vision correction procedures, including the latest in wavefront technology, which is used to detect and map even the tiniest optical properties of each patient’s eyes. These measurements are used when calibrating the excimer laser system and play a significant role in ensuring optimal outcomes.
Another technique that contributes to high-quality results is IntraLASIK. This procedure utilizes the IntraLase laser (rather than a blade) to create the corneal flap during the LASIK procedure, improving the precision — and in turn the outcome — of each patient’s surgery.
In addition to LASIK, Stanford Eye Laser Center offers:
- LASEK
- PRK
- Corneal Inlays
Highly myopic patients may not be good candidates for LASIK, so Dr. Manche also offers Verisyse phakic IOLs. He can discuss the different refractive surgery options with you and help you determine which one is best for you.
