LASIK surgery offers several benefits for those looking to improve their vision. Here are some of the key advantages:
Good candidates are typically over 18, have stable vision prescriptions for at least a year, and do not have conditions like severe dry eyes or thin corneas.
The cost can vary, but it generally ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 per eye. This cost is usually not covered by insurance.
Common side effects include dry eyes, glare, halos, and difficulty with night vision. Serious complications are rare but can include infection and issues with the corneal flap.
The actual laser procedure typically takes less than 10 minutes per eye, but the entire process, including preparation and recovery time, usually takes about 30 minutes.
Most people notice improved vision within a few hours, and many return to normal activities within a day or two. Full recovery can take a few weeks.
Many people achieve 20/20 vision or better and do not need glasses or contacts. However, some may still need them for certain activities, especially as they age.
LASIK results are generally long-lasting, but vision can change due to aging or other factors. Some people may need a follow-up procedure, known as an enhancement.
All-Laser LASIK, also known as bladeless LASIK, uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of a microkeratome blade. This can offer more precision and potentially reduce some risks associated with traditional LASIK.
Wavefront LASIK, also known as custom LASIK, uses detailed measurements of how light travels through your eye to create a 3D map. This allows for more personalized and precise corrections compared to conventional LASIK
Approximately 90-95% of patients achieve 20/20 vision or better after LASIK surgery.
Most patients report feeling little to no pain during the procedure. Numbing drops are used to ensure comfort. Some discomfort or mild pain may be experienced during the recovery period.
Many people can return to normal activities within a day or two. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and swimming for at least a week to ensure proper healing.
Yes, LASIK is typically performed on both eyes during the same session.
During the consultation, your eye doctor will perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK. They will discuss your medical history, vision goals, and any concerns you may have.
Timing: Most surgeons recommend waiting at least one week before flying to ensure your eyes have started to heal properly.
