What is LASIK?
LASIK surgery is an increasingly popular corrective vision procedure that has helped millions of people across the world improve their sight. It stands for “laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses”, and it involves reshaping the cornea with a laser to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
The surgery is quick and relatively painless, making it a popular option for those seeking to improve their vision without glasses or contact lenses. While LASIK can be highly effective in correcting vision issues, it’s important to understand the risks associated with this procedure before deciding if it’s right for you.
LASIK Evaluation
The evaluation starts with a comprehensive eye exam with an optometrist to measure refractive errors and identify any issues that might interfere with successful treatment. Eye measurements are taken to create a personalized LASIK plan, which will then be discussed with the patient in detail. During this consultation, patients will get answers to any questions or concerns they have about the procedure and its risks and benefits. The doctor will also ask questions about the patient’s lifestyle and preferences to better understand their individual needs.
The Benefits of LASIK
The primary benefit of LASIK is that it can drastically reduce or even eliminate a person’s need for eyeglasses and contact lenses. Once the surgery is complete, most patients experience an immediate improvement in their vision and no longer have to rely on corrective lenses. Additionally, many people report a decrease in eye strain and headaches associated with wearing glasses or contacts after undergoing LASIK.
