Losing your sight, whether completely or just partially, can be detrimental to your daily life. At Advanced Eye Surgeons, we understand the severity of these concerns. We are privileged to offer our patients the chance to prevent vision loss or impairment with the power of LASIK—a vision procedure designed to permanently enhance vision.

How Does LASIK Transform Your Sight?

The LASIK procedure is designed to correct imperfections in the cornea—the clear, round surface of the eye responsible for light intake. You will undergo one LASIK procedure for permanent reshaping of the cornea. By changing the shape of the cornea, LASIK can provide you with enhanced, clearer vision.

Most patients will enjoy full 20/20 vision after LASIK recovery without assistance from any corrective lenses. However, there are some cases where the sight transformation does require an extra level of correction for full results.

Debunking Common Misconceptions About LASIK

As with most medical procedures, misinformation and misconceptions often deter LASIK patients—let’s clear the air:

Is LASIK Safe?

Because this procedure deals with a delicate area of the body, people often assume that LASIK is risky. Rest assured, LASIK is an FDA-approved procedure that has been proven to be safe and effective. The success rate of the surgery is remarkably high, at 96%.

Is the LASIK Procedure Painful?

LASIK is not known to be a painful procedure–anesthetic drops will be used to numb your eyes before the procedure. You might feel a slight pressure, but pain is typically not a part of the LASIK experience.

Will LASIK Give Me Dry Eye?

Modern LASIK techniques and post-operative care, including eye drops, help minimize the risk of dry eye. Thus, while dry eye is a potential concern, LASIK surgery can be performed with careful management to mitigate potential risks.
