FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS LASIK SURGERY?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) surgery is the most popular vision correction procedure that utilizes specialized lasers to reshape the cornea. By reshaping the cornea, LASIK surgery can correct refractive errors, resulting in improved vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
HOW LONG DOES THE LASIK PROCEDURE TAKE?
The LASIK procedure is relatively quick and typically takes less than 15 minutes for both eyes. The surgeon will ensure your comfort by administering numbing eye drops, minimizing any potential discomfort. While you may feel some pressure or mild sensations during the procedure, it is not painful.
HOW SOON AFTER LASIK SURGERY CAN I EXPECT TO HAVE CLEAR VISION?
Most patients notice improved vision immediately after LASIK surgery. However, it’s common for vision to be blurry or hazy initially, and it typically stabilizes and continues to improve over the following days and weeks.
ARE THE RESULTS OF LASIK PERMANENT?
The results of LASIK are typically permanent. The procedure aims to correct your vision by reshaping the cornea, providing lasting improvements. However, it’s important to note that certain age-related changes, such as presbyopia, may occur over time and could require additional treatments or the use of reading glasses.
WHAT ARE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LASIK SURGERY?
Clear Vision, Clear Costs! Our LASIK offers affordability with transparent pricing and zero hidden/post-op fees. Experience a budget-friendly path to perfect vision!
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON WHO CAN UNDERGO LASIK SURGERY, SUCH AS AGE OR SPECIFIC EYE CONDITIONS?
While LASIK surgery is suitable for most people, there are certain criteria that must be met. Generally, patients must be at least 18 years old, have a stable vision prescription, and have healthy corneas. Some eye conditions, such as severe dry eye or thin corneas, may impact candidacy. An evaluation by our LASIK surgeon will determine if you meet the requirements.
