What is LASIK?
LASIK, or Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, is a well-established refractive surgery technique designed to correct common vision issues. By reshaping the cornea—the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye—LASIK improves the way light is focused onto the retina. This enhanced focus can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts, granting many individuals newfound freedom in their daily lives.
This procedure is highly effective for those with nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. It is known for its quick recovery time, allowing patients to see significant improvements within hours of the surgery. Moreover, most people experience little to no discomfort during the treatment, which further contributes to its growing popularity among individuals seeking better visual performance.

Alternative Vision Correction Procedures
Though LASIK is one of the most popular methods for vision correction, it may not be the best fit for everyone. If you are not an ideal candidate for LASIK due to factors such as extremely high prescriptions or thin corneas, there are alternative procedures that our refractive eye surgeon might consider.
Each of these procedures is carefully considered based on your individual eye structure, vision requirements, and overall health. Your conversation with our refractive eye surgeon will help determine the most appropriate vision correction solution for your circumstances.
