  • What is LASIK Surgery?

    LASIK surgery is another name for laser eye surgery that can help correct a wide variety of vision problems. LASIK stands for “laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis.” During the surgery, numbing drops are placed in the eye, and a laser is used to correct your vision problems such as:

  • • Myopia (nearsighted)

  • • Hyperopia (farsighted)

  • • Astigmatism

  • Who can get LASIK Surgery?

    Because of advances in ocular health, many people are good candidates for vision correction surgery. The ideal candidate for LASIK surgery is someone who experiences nearsightedness, farsightedness or some sort of astigmatism. Additionally, ideal candidates will have had NO CHANGE to their glasses or contact lens prescriptions in the last year.

  • What should I expect?

    • Before – We’ll suggest that you stop wearing contact lenses before your evaluation and switch to your glasses prior to the surgery. You’ll be thoroughly examined, and the doctor will ask many questions to determine whether or not you’re a good candidate.


    • During – If you’re deemed a good candidate, we’ll schedule you for surgery, which usually takes less than 30 minutes. You may schedule to have both eyes done at once or to have them done separately. Furthermore, eyes are given numbing drops, and the surgery is performed.


    • After – You must have someone drive you home after the surgery, and your eye(s) will be covered with a shield to protect from light scratching. Remember – it’s normal to feel like there’s something in your eye for a few days after the surgery.
