See the World Through Clear Eyes with LASIK Laser Eye Surgery
Are you tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses to see the world clearly? With LASIK laser eye surgery, you can bid farewell to those visual aids and embrace a life of clear vision. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe and popular procedure that corrects refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Understanding LASIK laser eye surgery
LASIK is a quick and painless procedure that typically takes only 15 minutes per eye. During the surgery, the surgeon creates a thin flap in the cornea using a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser. This flap is then lifted, allowing the laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue.
The flap is finally repositioned, acting as a natural bandage. The entire process is carried out under the influence of anesthetic eye drops, ensuring minimal discomfort for the patient.
Is LASIK laser eye surgery right for you?
While LASIK laser eye surgery offers numerous benefits, it is essential to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. A comprehensive evaluation by a qualified LASIK surgeon is crucial to assess your eye health, refractive error, corneal thickness, and overall suitability for the surgery. Factors such as age, stability of vision prescription, and general eye health will also be taken into consideration.
