Laser Vision Correction
Most people with vision correction issues are interested in learning more about LASIK and other refractive procedures. Here is a brief description of the Lasik;
A flap is surgically created in the cornea and gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea into a flatter shape (this is similar to how a contact lens corrects vision by forming a new shape on the cornea). The flap is then put back in place, acting like a natural bandage. The healing process is quick and virtually painless. People will often say that they did not feel anything, and could see well the very first day. Most people have improved vision in 24-48 hours, but it must be noted that each person will heal at a different rate. Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, often continues to improve for some weeks, even months.
LASIK is not for everyone. People's eyes are different so even though you may have had a friend who has had LASIK, it may not be the best course of treatment for you. If you are interested in laser vision correction, our doctors will be happy to consult with you and suggest surgeons and procedures that are appropriate for you.
After the procedure, our unsurpassed post-op care involves monitoring your eyes and adjust your medication for the best possible results.
