LASIK Eye Surgery

lasik-surgery

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, commonly referred to as LASIK, is a corrective alternative to glasses or contact lenses. Like glasses or contact lenses, LASIK is a method for treating refractive conditions including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.

What Are the Advantages of LASIK Eye Surgery?

LASIK has many benefits, including:

  • It works! It corrects vision. Around 96% of patients will have their desired vision after LASIK. An enhancement can further increase this number.

  • LASIK is associated with very little pain due to the numbing drops that are used.

  • Vision is corrected nearly immediately or by the day after LASIK.

  • No bandages or stitches are required after LASIK.

  • Adjustments can be made years after LASIK to further correct vision if vision changes while you age.

  • After having LASIK, most patients have a dramatic reduction in eyeglass or contact lens dependence and many patients no longer need them at all.
