Lasik Surgery?

LASIK surgery has made many advances in recent years. However, the gal has remained the same. LASIK surgery aims to correct refractive error permanently eliminating or reducing dependency on eye glasses as much as possible.

During LASIK, your surgeon will begin by creating a corneal "flap" on the surface of the eye. This exposes the outer layers of the cornea for treatment. Once the flap has been created, your surgeon will begin to use a excisimer laser to make necessary adjustments to reshape the cornea. Once the laser is done, the corneal flap is replaced back onto the cornea and acts just like a self healing bandage contact lens. This surgery requires no stitches, injections, or bandages.

One of the main concerns with many of our patients who are interested in LASIK is the cost. LASIK is not inexpensive, but with good reason. Overtime, the cost of continually purchasing glasses and contact lenses surpasses the cost of LASIK.
