There is now a viable option to glasses and contact lenses. LASIK has enabled hundreds of thousands of men and women to reduce or eliminate their dependence on vision correction devices. LASIK is an acronym for "LAser in SItu Keratomileusis". The LASIK procedure has quickly become the procedure of choice by leading eye surgeons around the world for the treatment of a wide range of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK is performed utilizing the accuracy and precision of the Excimer laser to reshape the inner layers of the cornea to improve the way light is focused by the eye. The entire procedure takes only minutes and is virtually painless. Only eye drops are used to numb the eye - no shots are required! Many patients note a dramatic improvement in vision within the first day. For others, vision may be blurry and fluctuate for several days or weeks. Most patients return to their normal activities within a day or two. Our doctors are pleased to offer the LASIK procedure to patients as another option in vision correction.
