LASIK surgery is an extremely popular vision correction procedure
that permanently changes the shape of the clear outer covering of
the eye known as the cornea. LASIK is used to treat low to high
levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism in order
to reduce one?s dependence on contact lenses or glasses. The goal of
LASIK surgery is to make the cornea flatter in nearsighted
individuals, steeper in farsighted individuals, and more spherical
in individuals with astigmatism.
Because TLC Laser Eye Centers focuses on providing the highest
quality and most advanced care, we have invested in the safest and
most precise equipment to maximize the results of your LASIK
procedure. TLC Laser Eye Centers carefully performs preoperative
diagnostic testing to determine which LASIK technique is best suited
for your individual vision correction needs. Our completely
customized treatment plans ensure that you obtain the best possible
outcome from your LASIK in
Virginia, Maryaland or Washington, DC.
LASIK has become the procedure of choice for most of our patients
because they recover quickly and experience fewer complications and
side effects than with other methods of vision correction. Indeed,
TLC Laser Eye Centers has been consistently successful in helping
our patients eliminate or reduce their dependence on glasses or
contact lenses through LASIK surgery. Serious complications are
extremely rare, and the chance of having a vision-reducing
complication is much less than one percent. To minimize potential
risks, Dr. Holzman and his staff perform extensive pre-operative
testing to determine which, if any, LASIK technique is most
appropriate for each individual patient. All LASIK patients will
receive thorough information concerning any and all risks to the
procedure. In addition, discussions will be had with staff and
doctors concerning your unique case and any special risks that may
be present.
The first step of the LASIK procedure is the creation of a corneal
flap, which will be accomplished the safest and most precise way
possible, using the IntraLase laser system. No blades will be used.
The LASIK procedure is not painful, but you may experience a
sensation of pressure on your eye. The excimer laser will then be
used to reshape your cornea according to the customized treatment
plan developed from your pre-operative diagnostic testing. Depending
on the amount of correction needed, the laser treatment will take
approximately one to two minutes. The corneal flap is then
repositioned. The corneal flap will heal on its own, and no sutures
are necessary.
