WHAT IS LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a type of laser vision correction designed to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses. The procedure works by reshaping the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) so light is properly focused on the retina.
During LASIK, a surgeon uses advanced laser technology to make precise adjustments based on your unique prescription and eye measurements. The procedure is quick, often completed in less than 15 minutes, and many patients notice improved vision within a short period of time.
WHAT DOES LASIK TREAT?
LASIK eye surgery is used to correct common refractive errors that affect how clearly you see. These include:
- Myopia – (Nearsightedness) Clear up close, blurry at a distance
- Hyperopia – (Farsightedness) Better distance vision, difficulty with near tasks
- Astigmatism – Blurred or distorted vision at all distances
LASIK can be an effective option for many patients, but candidacy depends on your eye health, prescription, and lifestyle.
FAQs: LASIK Eye Surgery
Does LASIK Hurt?
Patients are administered eye numbing drops during the procedure. Patient’s may experience some discomfort during and after the procedure; however, it is generally well tolerated.
How Long Do LASIK Results Last?
LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea to correct vision. While the results are long-lasting, natural age-related changes, such as the need for reading glasses, can still occur over time.
Can Both Eyes Be Treated At The Same Time?
Yes. Most LASIK procedures treat both eyes during the same appointment. This provides a faster recovery and allows you to enjoy clearer vision sooner. Your surgeon will determine if you’re a good candidate for same-day treatment.
What happens during a LASIK consultation?
During your consultation, we’ll perform a comprehensive eye exam, review your vision goals, and determine whether LASIK or another option is right for you.
What Are The Risks of LASIK?
As with any surgical procedure, LASIK carries some risk. These may include dry eye, visual disturbances, or under/overcorrection. Make sure to review all risks and expectations during your consultation.
Will I Still Need Reading Glasses After LASIK?
Some patients, especially over 40, may still need reading glasses due to natural age-related changes in near vision.
IS LASIK RIGHT FOR ME?
You may be a good candidate for LASIK if you:
-
- Are over 18 with a stable vision prescription
- Have healthy eyes with no active conditions or infections
- Do not have severe dry eye or certain corneal conditions
- Are not pregnant or nursing
The best way to know for sure is through a complimentary LASIK consultation. During your visit, we’ll evaluate your eyes and goals to determine whether LASIK or another vision correction option is right for you.
