With today’s modern technology there is no longer a need to continue using traditional methods of vision correction. Glasses and contact lenses have solved the visual problems of many patients and continue to be an integral part of vision correction. However, there are many patients that for various reasons are unable to function well with glasses or contact lenses, or simply cannot tolerate the inconvenience of these corrective devices. These patients are better served by refractive laser vision correction. Laser refractive correction is the only treatment that restores normal vision with no inconveniences. At Eye Surgicenter we understand that everyone deserves to experience the quality of life that normal vision allows. Refractive surgery is the path to living life at the fullest.

By adjusting the pattern of the laser beam through its computer, it is possible to treat high levels of nearsightedness and astigmatism.

After the tissue has been reshaped, the flap is placed in its original position. Because of the cornea's extraordinary natural bonding qualities, healing is rapid and does not require stitches. LASIK is performed as an outpatient procedure in the comfort and convenience of the excimer laser surgical suite.

The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes and both eyes are done the same day. The procedure is performed using topical anesthesia (eye drops). Some patients report a slight post-operative discomfort that can usually be alleviated with medications. Patients see a dramatic improvement in their vision within the first day. Most patients return to their normal activities within a day or two.

LASIK is short for Laser Assisted in-Situ Keratomileusis. It is a procedure designed to reduce or eliminate nearsightedness or farsightedness with or without astigmatism. Nearsightedness, also called myopia, occurs when the shape of the eye is elongated resulting in the light being focused in front of the retina (the "seeing" part of the back of the eye).

Farsightedness, also called hyperopia, occurs when the shape of the eye is shortened so that light is focused behind the retina. Astigmatism is a condition in which light that enters the eye is focused at more than one place inside the eye. This happens when the cornea (the clear window in the front of the eye) has different curvatures at different points (similar to the shape of a football).

People who experience difficulty wearing glasses and contact lenses due to allergies, dryness of the eyes, astigmatism, or other irritants. Generally the best candidates have low to moderate levels of myopia (-1.00 to -8.00 diopters) or hyperopia (+1.00 to +2.00 diopters). In addition, their lifestyle or career may require good vision without the use of glasses or contact lenses to function well. Candidates are encouraged to attend a free educational seminar or schedule a visit to the office for a FREE VIP Consultation. A thorough eye examination and evaluation is required prior to having iLASIK.

No single formula can provide the perfect correction for everyone. This is why the individual evaluation with the doctor is so important in planning for iLASIK. For example, if you spend 8 hours a day working at a computer screen, your visual needs will differ from someone who spends much of the day driving. If you are over 40, you may experience problems with your near vision, focusing up close. By leaving one eye slightly undercorrected (if you are nearsighted), or slightly overcorrecting one eye (if you are farsighted), the need for reading glasses can be reduced. This technique, called monovision, has proven successful in helping individuals cope with the natural aging process. Your specific needs in terms of lifestyle and career goals are taken into consideration when your surgical plan is developed.
