The Procedure
The LASIK procedure is the most popular and has proven overwhelmingly successful for thousands of patients. 

Prior to LASIK surgery, we create a map of your eye to ensure accuracy and safety. Using OrbscanT (See Photo), a multidimensional diagnostic system, we meticulously analyze and measure the entire cornea. This comprehensive pre-operative plan helps the surgeon identify the exact treatment approach as well as assess the shape and health of your cornea.

The LASIK surgery itself is relatively painless and quick - about 15-20 minutes for both eyes. The IntraLase laser is used to create a flap on the surface of the cornea, exposing the cornea's middle layer. The surgeon then uses a computer-guided laser to reshape the inner layers of the cornea. When used by a skilled and experienced surgeon, the laser is precise and safe, able to remove a single cell without affecting other cells. The corneal flap is replaced, and heals rapidly.

To find out if LASIK surgery is right for you, call us today for a free initial consultation, or talk with your optometric physician.

In certain situations PRK laser surgery may be recommended instead of LASIK. This is often the case when a person's cornea is too thin or misshapen to safely allow creation of a LASIK flap. (Click Here) to learn more about PRK.
