What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK is an acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis and before the procedure, our eye doctors will apply numbing drop to your eyes. After, we’ll use a laser to create a corneal flap and sculpt the cornea, which will reshape it and improve your vision. LASIK can be effective for those who want to achieve shaper vision without the need of glasses or contact lenses.

Who is a Candidate for this Procedure?

People with generally healthy eyes or those who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism can get LASIK. Those who have unusual eye conditions, cataracts, or diseases like glaucoma, may not quality for the procedure. Not only that, but if you have dry eye, LASIK can also make your symptoms worse. In addition, it’s important not to wear your contacts for at least two weeks before the surgery, as they may provide inaccurate measurements for the procedure.

Potential Side Effects

As with any surgery, LASIK can produce certain side effects, such as dry eye, halos around lights, double-vision, or glare. There may also be issues with the flap. Most of the side effects are temporary and go away after a few days or weeks. If they linger, then you need to see our eye doctors again.

Recovery

After LASIK surgery, it’s important to rest in order to heal properly. You may experience blurry vison the first day, however, it usually clears up. Along with that, you might need eye drops to keep your eyes lubricated. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions to ensure that your eyes heal as they should.
