What Is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most popular and trusted laser vision correction procedures in the world. This advanced treatment reshapes the cornea to correct common vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. LASIK’s quick recovery time, proven safety, and high success rates make it a great choice for many seeking visual freedom.
The LASIK Procedure
During LASIK, we use a precision, computer-guided laser to create a thin, hinged flap on the cornea’s surface. This flap is then gently lifted, and a second laser reshapes the cornea according to your unique prescription. Once reshaping is complete, the flap is carefully repositioned and heals naturally. LASIK is generally pain-free, takes about 20 minutes, and patients can typically see improved vision within a day.
Did You Know?
Eye surgeons who perform LASIK themselves are 4 times more likely than the general population to have laser vision correction surgery and 98.5% of them recommend a laser vision correction procedure to their immediate family members!
LASIK vs. Contact Lenses and Glasses
Glasses and contacts come with significant lifetime costs, which often exceed the one-time investment in a vision correction procedure. For most, annual expenses for contacts, lens solution, prescription lenses, and frames quickly add up, costing thousands over the years. And of course there’s the cost of not having clear vision when you need it most.
Beyond the financial costs, there are also risks. Contacts carry a significant risk of vision-threatening eye infections, especially with prolonged use or improper handling, which can lead to serious complications. Glasses, while safer, can limit daily activities and don’t adapt well to unexpected situations where clear vision is crucial to your safety and function.
Vision correction procedures offer freedom from these recurring costs and the fear of not being able to see well when you need to most. A one time vision correction procedure can bring lasting visual clarity and peace of mind.
