LASIK eye surgery is not a new kid on the block as it was approved in the 1990s. As people became more familiar with the process, within a decade it had become the most requested type of elective surgery.

Each year, an estimated 600,000 Americans opt for Lasik surgery, which can for many people dramatically improve vision and allow them to ditch glasses and contacts. In follow-up surveys, up to 95% of patients were satisfied with surgery outcomes.

01/24/2023

Studies have revealed LASIK surgery to be highly effective. In fact, studies indicate that over 95 percent of all people who undergo LASIK surgery experience what is known as UCVA, (uncorrected visual acuity), or 20/40 vision. About 85 percent achieve 20/20 vision, or better.

You can start wearing makeup about one week after your laser vision correction surgery. However, it is advised to discard your old makeup products and buy the new ones to decrease your risk of infection.

If you are planning a pregnancy, talk with us about the timing of the LASIK procedure; the hormonal changes that are undergone during pregnancy and nursing have an impact on the stability of your vision.

Enhancement surgery is done to “fine tune” the result of laser vision correction, an is most commonly needed following complicated vision correction. Enhancements are only needed in about 1% of cases.

01/10/2023

Patients must give up some common activities immediately after LASIK eye surgery. We caution that you not drive for a day following surgery, and that you not shower for two days following surgery to avoid getting water and soap in your eyes.

During the procedure, your surgeon will use a small device to prevent your eyelids blinking. There is also an active eye-tracker which detects even microscopic eye movement and can redirect the laser beam as required.

If you’d like to get laser vision correction but are afraid of unintended consequences, you’ll be glad to know that these procedures are among the safest around. That said, any type of surgery does carry a risk, so you’ll want to choose an established professional to make sure that everything goes as planned.

Astigmatism is an imperfection in the curvature of your eye's cornea or lens. A person with astigmatism has a blurry vision at all distances. Laser vision correction may help in this case.

While lasik surgery is an option for most people, anyone with an issue relating to their autoimmune system generally is not a good candidate. In addition, some patients with diabetes also are not good candidates because the procedure requires stable blood sugar levels.

12/22/2022

LASIK Eye Surgery is quick and painless. In fact, the actual procedure only takes minutes to complete (both eyes). The laser part takes only a few seconds.

12/20/2022

Do you know that you actually see with your brain, not your eyes? Our eyes work just like a camera – the retina captures the information and sends it back to the brain through the optic nerve.

12/15/2022

The results of our LASIK eye surgery is permanent, so your vision, once corrected, will be corrected for life. You will still need to visit us periodically for routine exams to detect problems and maintain your vision.

12/13/2022

How long will it take your eyes to heal after LASIK? For most patients, it takes 1-2 days for their improved vision to settle. However, it’s advised to give proper rest to your eyes for a month following surgery.

12/08/2022

Laser vision correction can help those who suffer from myopia (short- or near- sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. A consultation with our doctor will help determine if the procedure is right for you.

12/06/2022

Can you have the vision of both eyes corrected at the same time? LASIK procedure can be performed on both eyes at the same time. However, for PRK, your surgeon will wait a week or two between eyes.

12/01/2022

The ideal candidate for laser vision correction must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. This is because elevated hormone levels during pregnancy or lactation can affect the shape of your eyes, making it better to wait for surgery.
