What is LASIK Laser Eye Surgery?
Are you tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses? LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a widely popular and highly effective refractive eye surgery designed to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
This advanced procedure reshapes the cornea, allowing light to focus properly on the retina, thus improving your natural vision.
At smile center, we utilize state-of-the-art technology and experienced surgeons to provide safe and precise LASIK procedures, helping thousands achieve freedom from corrective eyewear.
Are You a Candidate for LASIK?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for LASIK, but many can benefit. Generally, good candidates are:
18 years or older with stable vision for at least one year.
Have a refractive error that falls within the treatable range (mild to moderate myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism).
Have healthy eyes with no active eye diseases or conditions.
Not pregnant or nursing.
Have realistic expectations about the outcome. A comprehensive eye examination at our clinic will determine your suitability for the procedure.
The LASIK Procedure: What to Expect
LASIK is an outpatient procedure, typically lasting about 15-20 minutes for both eyes. Here’s a simplified overview:
Preparation: Numbing eye drops are applied.
Corneal Flap Creation: A thin, hinged flap is created on the cornea’s surface using a femtosecond laser or microkeratome.
Laser Reshaping: The flap is gently lifted, and an excimer laser precisely reshapes the underlying corneal tissue to correct your vision.
Flap Repositioning: The flap is carefully placed back, where it naturally adheres without stitches. You will experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Recovery and Life Changing Results
Most patients experience significant vision improvement within a day or two after LASIK. Full stabilization of vision may take a few weeks to months. Post-operative care includes:
Using prescribed eye drops.
Avoiding rubbing your eyes.
Attending follow-up appointments. Imagine waking up with clear vision, enjoying sports, swimming, and everyday activities without the hassle of corrective lenses. LASIK offers a high success rate and a quick return to your normal routine with vastly improved sight.
F.A.Q.
How do I know if I am a suitable candidate for LASIK?
Eligibility for LASIK depends on various factors such as your eye health, the degree of your vision impairment, and your overall health. Generally, candidates should be 18 years or older, have had a stable glasses or contact lens prescription for at least one year, have no serious eye diseases, and possess sufficient corneal thickness. Your suitability for LASIK will be definitively determined after a detailed preliminary examination and evaluation by our expert doctors. During this examination, the structure of your eye will be meticulously analyzed.
Is LASIK surgery painful?
The pain experienced during LASIK surgery is minimal. Numbing eye drops are applied to your eyes before the procedure, which prevents you from feeling any pain during the operation. Some patients may feel a slight pressure or discomfort during the procedure. In the first few hours after surgery, there might be a mild stinging, burning, or watery sensation, but this usually subsides quickly and can be controlled with drops recommended by your doctor.
How long is the recovery process after LASIK?
The recovery process after LASIK is generally rapid. Most patients notice significant vision improvement within a few days after the surgery and can return to their daily activities. Achieving full vision stability and the complete disappearance of mild blurriness may take a few weeks. Regularly using the eye drops prescribed by your doctor, maintaining eye hygiene, and avoiding rubbing your eyes for the first few days are crucial for a smooth recovery. Regular follow-up appointments will also ensure the success of your healing process.
