Laser Eye Surgery

If you're tired of the hassles that come with relying on glasses or contact lenses for clear vision, you're not alone. From frequent vision tests to the constant search for the right frames, dealing with traditional vision correction methods can be a real inconvenience. LASIK offers a modern solution to this age-old problem. This minimally-invasive procedure can greatly reduce, or even eliminate, your dependence on visual aids, freeing you to live life without limitations.

Success of LASIK

The popularity and success of LASIK speak for themselves, making it the top choice for elective surgery worldwide. However, while LASIK boasts an impressive success rate, it's essential to understand that it may not be suitable for everyone.

Am I a Candidate for LASIK?

Determining your candidacy for LASIK involves a thorough evaluation by our experienced doctors. During your consultation, we'll examine your eyes, discuss your medical history, and walk you through the procedure and aftercare process. While LASIK can work wonders for many, certain criteria must be met for optimal results:

  • You must be at least 18 years old.
  • Your vision must have been stable with no prescription changes for at least 12 months.
  • Your current prescription for glasses or contacts must fall within specific parameters, which our doctors will define.
  • You should have no significant eye or medical issues such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
  • You should have no history of corneal disease.
  • You should not be pregnant or nursing at the time of the procedure.

It's crucial to have realistic expectations about LASIK. While some patients may achieve complete freedom from visual aids, others may still need them in certain situations, like driving in low light. Understanding these potential outcomes is key to a successful LASIK experience.
