LASIK Eye Surgery FAQs

LASIK eye surgery is a type of refractive surgery that corrects vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, a laser is used to reshape the cornea and improve vision.

Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. Factors such as age, overall health, and the thickness of the cornea can affect eligibility. We offer free consultations to help determine if LASIK is right for you.

During LASIK surgery, the eye is numbed with drops, and a flap is created on the cornea. The laser is then used to reshape the cornea, and the flap is replaced. The entire procedure only takes about 15 minutes per eye.

Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a day or two of LASIK surgery. It is important to avoid rubbing the eyes and to use eye drops as directed to promote healing.

LASIK is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon. Our team of experts uses the latest technology and techniques to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with LASIK. These can include dry eyes, glare, halos, and loss of visual acuity. However, serious complications are rare.
