Yes. LASIK surgery will not prevent other eye related problems from happening, such as age-related nearsightedness, so it’s entirely possible for your eyesight to get worse due to these other factors.

You can work after surgery, although its advisable you take a few days off to recover. Your eyes will be tired and light-sensitive the first few days after surgery.

Yes. LASIK is designed to provide 20/25 vision or better. However, it is not guaranteed that everyone can achieve totally perfect vision given that everyone’s vision impairment is different.

Yes. LASIK can be a very helpful surgery for people who suffer from astigmatism. If you have severe astigmatism, your ophthalmologist may recommend other refractive surgeries such as PRK or ICL that would be more able to correct your vision.

Yes. The vast majority of people who need both near and far vision correction can benefit from LASIK. Your ophthalmologist will discuss with you your options, such as monovision or correcting for a single distance.

Usually no. Most people no longer require corrective lenses following their LASIK procedure, but this isn’t guaranteed. Some people still require slight vision correction to see clearly at certain distances or in certain conditions.

Usually no. Most people no longer require corrective lenses following their LASIK procedure, but this isn’t guaranteed. Some people still require slight vision correction to see clearly at certain distances or in certain conditions.

After LASIK your eyes will be watery (tearing) for the first few days after surgery. Your eyes may also develop what we call an eye bruise (bloodshot eyes) after surgery from the suction that keeps your eye in place, similar to how we get bruises on our skin. Bruising can last anywhere from 1-4 weeks.

Your flap does heal after LASIK, but it does take some time for it to heal. Thats why we ask our patients to sleep and use eye shields for the first week after surgery.

LASIK does not last forever, it depends on how high your prescription is. It can come back a little bit over time, which is what we call regression. If it gets to the point where it bothers you we can go back and perform a touch up.

When considering LASIK, the severity of your refractive error plays a significant role in determining your eligibility for the procedure. LASIK can effectively correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism within certain ranges. The best way to determine if LASIK is right for you is to schedule a consultation with a skilled ophthalmologist.

We offer a few options to our patients. We take cash, credit, and cashier check. We also offer our patients financing with Wells Fargo Financing and Care Credit.

LASIK eye surgery allows people to do most of their everyday tasks without corrective lenses. However, there may be some activities that you still need glasses or contact lenses for. Your surgeon will discuss these with you prior to surgery for a full understanding.

The surgery itself can take less than 3 minutes per eye, but youre in our office at least 1 hour. We like to go over all questions patients have for us before surgery as well as all post-op instructions.

For most patients, they are functioning normally by the next day. With PRK, recovery is a bit longer and in most cases patients can resume normal activities within 1 week of surgery.

Your eyes can be a bit blurry 2-3 days after Lasik surgery. Day by day it will get better and better. Just give your eyes some rest and let them tear naturally.

Of the course of a lifetime of wearing glasses and contacts, yes LASIK is cheaper. Some patients have astigmatism and need to wear astigmatism contact lenses that are more expensive than spherical contact lenses. Often patients end up buying contacts, glasses, amd prescription sunglasses as well as contact lens solution. In the end, the cost of all those over the course of a lifetime would definitely be more than the cost of LASIK.

Requirements for LASIK eye surgery typically include being at least 18 years old to ensure that your eyes have matured and your prescription has stabilized. Candidates should have a relatively stable prescription for three years before the procedure. Good general eye health and a sufficient corneal thickness is also important for the laser to reshape the cornea effectively.

Dry eye after LASIK be attributed to several factors. During the LASIK surgery, corneal nerves responsible for tear production are temporarily disrupted when the laser reshapes the cornea which results in a decrease in tear production, leading to the sensation of dryness. Furthermore, as the cornea heals, the nerve function gradually recovers, and normal tear production usually resumes; however, this process can take weeks to months. Post-surgical inflammation and a pre-existing predisposition to dry eyes can also exacerbate this condition. Patients with dry eye syndrome before LASIK are more likely to experience aggravated symptoms after the surgery.

LASIK eye surgery, short for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular refractive procedure designed to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The surgery involves reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to allow light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina for clearer vision.

Yes. LASIK can be performed on nearly anyone who requires a prescription corrective lens to see correctly, but there is a limit to what degree of vision correction it can achieve for people with severe prescriptions. Other options such as PRK or ICL may be better in that case.

Yes. The surface of your eye will need to heal, which may cause your eyes to feel more dry for several days following the procedure. In the past, it was not uncommon for people to have longer lasting symptoms of dry eye following a LASIK procedure. This is much less common with the current technology, but is still a possibility.
