LASIK - Transform Your Vision with Precision and Care

What Is LASIK?

LASIK, short for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a highly effective refractive eye surgery designed to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure works by reshaping the cornea, allowing light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina.

LASIK is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that typically takes less than 15 minutes per eye. The use of advanced excimer and femtosecond lasers ensures precision and accuracy. For many patients, LASIK leads to improved vision within 24 hours, making it a life-changing option for those seeking to reduce or eliminate their dependency on corrective eyewear.

Is LASIK Right for You?

Determining whether LASIK is the right choice for you requires a thorough evaluation of your eyes and overall health. Ideal candidates include individuals over 18 years old with stable prescriptions, good eye health, and no preexisting conditions like severe dry eye or corneal disease.

A LASIK consultation typically involves:

1. Comprehensive eye exams to assess your visual needs.
2. Corneal thickness measurement to ensure safety.
3. Discussion of expectations and potential outcomes.

Alternative options, such as PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) or EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), may be recommended for those not suitable for LASIK.
