Frequently Asked Questions... About LASIK:
Are all patients who wear glasses or contacts candidates for LASIK?
We recommend you come in for an evaluation with our refractive counselor. We will discuss your particular situation and help determine if you are a good candidate for laser vision correction.
How long will the procedure take?
You will be at our Surgery Center approximately two hours. The time in the surgery suite with the doctor is 15 to 20 minutes. The actual laser treatment time is approximately one minute per eye.
Is the laser painful?
The procedure itself is not painful since medication is administered to make you feel comfortable. Post operatively, most patients experience little or no discomfort. After the procedure, your eyes may feel scratchy, gritty, or watery. These are temporary symptoms and are not a problem for most patients.
What can I expect my vision will be the day after surgery?
Many patients notice improved vision immediately after the procedure. Most patients are functional without their corrective lenses at the one day post operative exam. Patients continue to see a gradual increase in their visual acuity during the first five to seven days after the procedure.
