Reduce or eliminate your need for glasses
LASIK surgery is a dream come true for a growing number of Americans every year. Why? Because LASIK has helped many to reduce or in most cases, eliminate their need for contacts and eyeglasses.
LASIK surgery can benefit people who can't wear contacts due to dry eyes, allergies, or eye infections. While glasses are always an option, they may limit side vision and often are impractical. Professional firefighters, police officers, athletes and many others, find glasses often interfere with job performance and recreational activities. For these people, surgery offers a new alternative-clear vision without corrective lenses.
Refractive surgery is a general term used to describe a procedure that changes the way images focus in your eye. The cornea and the lens refract light rays. The retina receives the picture formed by these rays and sends the image to the brain through the optic nerve so you can see.
A refractive error means that the shape of your eye doesn't refract the light properly, so that the image you see is blurred. There are four types of refractive errors: myopia (nearsightedness),
hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (distorted vision) which may coexist with either myopia or hyperopia, and presbyopia (or "aging eye"
where your eye gradually loses its ability to focus up close). In most cases myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism can be successfully corrected
through refractive surgery.
Refractive surgery can promise improved vision for most people, but it can't promise perfect 20/20 vision for everyone. The level of improvement depends on the severity of the refractive disorder and the procedure that you choose. Today CustomCornea® Wavefront on the LADARVision Laser provides more precise vision than ever before.
The actual surgery is very brief, and is usually performed with a local anesthetic. Many patients notice an immediate improvement in their vision, however, a steady,
gradual improvement will usually occur over a period of days to weeks. The potential benefits of LASIK are wonderful, but like any surgical procedure, there is some risk
of complications and side effects. Our staff will give you a complete overview of all the information you need. Together, we will jointly determine if refractive surgery
is the best option for you.
