Eye Surgery

LASIK surgery has become increasingly popular among patients with impaired vision. Our doctor has extensive knowledge about this procedure. During the procedure, a flap is cut in the cornea and then the flap is gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea. The flap is then put back in place, acting like a natural bandage.

One of the greatest advantages of Lasik is the rapid recovery of vision combined with the decreased level of discomfort post-operation. You may hear from people that they did not feel pain and could see well the very first day. Many people have functional vision within 24-48 hours, but although this is true in most cases, it must be noted that each person will heal at a different rate. Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, continues to improve for some weeks, even months.

If you are interested in laser vision correction, we will be happy to guide you in picking the right surgeon, procedure and laser appropriate for you. For many patients who are long-term contact lens wearers, our doctor’s pre-operative input can make the difference between an excellent result and a mediocre one. Post-operatively, our doctor can monitor your eyes, and taper medications to arrive at the best possible result. After all, no one knows your eyes better than your optometrist.
