  These are your eyes, and the best guarantee in laser eye surgery comes directly from your surgeon, equipment and the professional staff that support both. At Lasik Provision, laser vision correction is viewed as an art form. Dr. Andrew Taylor has hand selected an experienced team of individuals who are constantly striving to provide the finest in all aspects of your Lasik experience. Dr.Andrew Taylor personally performs your laser eye surgery. He has been serving the residents of South Western Ontario and the Northern United States for over 20 years. He can draw upon a personal experience of having performed over 100,000 successful Lasik procedures to achieve the results you desire. Lasik Provision has superior technology and Dr. Andrew Taylor has personally used every major laser platform that is used in North America today. He lectures internationally in the field of laser eye surgery and on laser platforms. He is involved in the regulatory studies for the approval of new devices and procedures. Dr. Andrew Taylor has chosen the Zeiss MEL 80 Excimer laser and the Visumax Femtosecond Laser as his preferred platforms. Carl Zeiss is internationally world renowned for their expertise in optics, there lenses are likely to be the ones you use at home in your cameras. There advanced engineering profiles which produce superlative predictable refractive outcomes which is what you want as a refractive eye patient. The Zeiss MEL 80 Excimer laser custom treats every eye with Wavefront technology. This laser is one of the fastest in the world; it uses dual eye tracking for accuracy and centration. It also uses aberration-optimized algorithms to reduce the incidence of night glare. Visual quality and stability is unsurpassed with this Laser. The MEL 80 laser has the newest technology providing correction for the presbyopic population.  It is known as Zeiss BLENDED VISION, and is based on the principal of micro mono vision. It allows the eyes to maintain stereo binocularity.  Both eyes are corrected for intermediate distance at all times with one eye having a range of vision extending to distance and the other eye having a range of vision extending to near. This creates a functional range of clear vision across all visual fields; near, intermediate and far. The laser reshapes the cornea using different power zones to create a positive spherical aberration; making the image disparity between the two eyes so small that the brain doesn’t notice which eye it is using for far and near. This is the most exciting device in laser eye surgery today; treating ‘old age eyes’. Lasik Provision is using the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond laser for all flap creation in laser eye surgery. Dr. Andrew Taylor is now only performing completely bladeless Lasik procedures as it provides maximum safety and comfort for the patient, as well as allows them to keep fixation during the entire procedure. It creates a thinner flap, allowing patients with thinner corneas an opportunity to have the potential for Lasik. It uses minimal energy, allowing more precision and less tissue disruption and therefore faster healing.
