More About LASIK Vision Correction Surgery
LASIK eyeLaser In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is a quick, painless procedure that treats virtually all levels of refractive errors. This procedure combines the precision of the excimer laser with the benefits of an instrument called an automated microkeratome by allowing the surgeon to treat the inside surface of the cornea. LASIK is performed by folding back a thin layer of the cornea without damaging the surface. The surgeon then uses the laser to reshape the cornea, improving the way light is focused on the retina. This results in clearer vision.
LASIK is a highly effective and time tested procedure performed to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. LASIK is performed as an outpatient procedure in the comfort and convenience of our clinic. Normally, the entire procedure lasts less than 20 minutes, with most patients experiencing an improvement in their vision immediately following the procedure. The LASIK procedure allows patients to enjoy a faster visual recovery than PRK and healing is quite rapid with little or no discomfort.
At Eye Centers of Florida we are committed to helping you make an informed decision about laser vision correction.
