The Stats
Lasik is the most performed refractive surgery procedure. Approximately 700,000 Lasik procedures are performed each year in the United States.
What is LASIK?
Lasik stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. The procedure involves creating a ‘flap’ on the front of the eye (the cornea), removing or ‘ablating’ the underlying tissue to reshape it, then laying the flap back down over the area of the cornea that has just been reshaped. It is relatively painless and vision is almost instantly improved. Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can all be corrected within certain parameters.
The Technology
We perform Lasik using the latest Wavefront technology, which allows for the most accurate results when performing pre-operative measurements. The result is clearer vision without glasses for most patients.
Who is a Candidate?
The first step to finding out if you’re a good candidate for Lasik is by making an appointment. Once we determine your prescription and perform a dilated ocular health exam, we can discuss your candidacy further.
