"Having the doctors in the top 1% of the country in your own backyard,
you can't ask for anything better"
"I have chosen to have LASIK surgery because in my profession you have to be able to see what's going on, and also I read a lot in my daily life. I wanted to be able to see clear without having to wear glasses or contact lenses, plus it makes me look good!

The LASIK Procedure
After your eye has been completely numbed using "eye drop" anesthesia, an eyelid holder will be placed between your eyelids to prevent you from blinking.
Next, an instrument known as a microkeratome makes a protective flap in the cornea. During this process you may feel a little pressure but no discomfort. You will be asked to look directly at a target light while the laser reshapes the cornea, usually in less than a minute. Then, the protective flap is folded back in place where it bonds securely without the need for stitches.
How It Works
To treat nearsightedness, the cornea must be made flatter. This is accomplished by removing tissue from the center of the cornea with laser.
To treat farsightedness, the central cornea must be made steeper. This is accomplished by directing the laser beam to remove tissue from the epicenter part of the cornea with laser.
To treat astigmatism, the cornea must be made more spherical. By changing the pattern of the beam, tissue is removed in one direction more than the other to achieve a spherical shape.
The Ideal LASIK Candidate
In general, the ideal candidate for LASIK is over 18 years of age and has healthy corneas. Candidates must not have had a significant increase in their prescription in the last 12 months. People with certain medical conditions or women who are pregnant may not be good candidates for LASIK. A thorough or complete examination is required to determine if a patient is a suitable candidate for this procedure.
Realistic Expectations
The decision to have LASIK is an important one that ultimately only you can make. It is important that you have realistic expectations and that your decision is based on facts, not hopes or misconceptions. The goal of LASIK is to reduce or eliminate your dependence on corrective lenses. LASIK does not always create 20/20 vision and may not be a perfect solution for folks with presbyopia, an age related condition leading to an inability to read without glasses for folks above the age of 40. People over 40 who have their distance vision improved with LASIK may find that they need reading glasses after the procedure. Options of monovision either with LASIK or contact lenses can be a good alternative although it is not for everybody. A new procedure called Conductive Keratoplasty is an excellent procedure for the treatment of presbyopia. Your doctor will provide you with additional information to help guide you in your decisions.
