Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most advanced of approved refractive surgical techniques. Since approval by the FDA, LASIK has become one of the fastest growing medical procedures in the nation, and is expected to be the most commonly performed procedure by year’s end.

LASIK begins with the eye being anesthetized with drops. The surgery, conducted on an outpatient basis in a laser center, is painless and lasts only about 30 minutes. Most patients are able to return to work the next day.

A flap is made in the outer layer of the cornea with a precision mechanical device, and then folded back to expose the underlying tissue.

Using a cool excimer laser, the cornea is reshaped painlessly.

The flap is replaced and heals quickly, requiring no stitches.

LASIK surgery provides the immediate recovery of vision, but like all surgery has some risk, such as flap irregularities and astigmatism. In 90% of cases, patients’ vision is restored to at least 20/40 vision without eyeglasses or contacts. Many patients report even better vision after the surgery than they had with their eyeglasses or contacts.

Patients notice improved vision immediately and normally can return to work the next day.

In the words of a satisfied patient:
"My vision is perfect now and I am thankful every day that I don’t have to put contacts in my eyes."
