Eye Correction through LASIK

LASIK eye correction uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea, improving the vision of the patient. Many LASIK eye correction patients achieve perfect 20/20 vision following the procedure, and 20/40 vision is considered standard after LASIK eye correction (20/40 vision is good enough to drive a car without additional correction in most states).

LASIK eye correction has enjoyed constantly increasing popularity due to the relative lack of discomfort involved in LASIK eye correction, the rapid recovery made by most patients, and longevity of results attained through LASIK eye correction. The procedure is an outpatient, ambulatory operation, meaning that patients walk in, have their LASIK eye correction surgery and then walk out shortly thereafter. The majority of patients who have a LASIK eye correction procedure have almost immediate vision improvement, and generally speaking, the day after receiving LASIK eye correction the patient’s vision is normal or close to normal. The doctor performing a LASIK eye correction administers topical anesthetic eyedrops, and the surgery is painless, with the patient is conscious throughout LASIK eye correction. Some patients request a mild oral sedative which allows them to relax during their LASIK eye correction. Most patients report minimal or no discomfort or pain in the days following LASIK eye correction
