Could LASIK Be Right For You?

Having LASIK is bound to be a life-changing decision for the better. That’s why it’s very critical to know the procedure in-depth and make sure that it will perfectly fit you.

LASIK consultation and screening are designed to make sure each aspirant is qualified to have the procedure safely.

During a LASIK consultation and screening, doctors make it a point to:

  • Conduct necessary eye exams
  • Explain to you how LASIK can improve your vision
  • Test for eye conditions that can affect your surgical options
  • Make sure you’re comfortable with and knowledgeable about LASIK
  • Identify if you are qualified or not for LASIK through an in-depth screening
  • Help you understand what to expect from the procedure
  • LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses)

With LASIK surgery, a thin layer of tissue called a “flap” is created on the surface of the cornea. With the flap gently lifted, a laser delivers light energy to the cornea. This reshapes the cornea, allowing light rays to focus properly on the retina, which provides sharp, clear vision. Following the procedure, the flap is set back in place and serves as a natural bandage, allowing your eye to heal properly.

Now that you’ve learned more about LASIK, the procedure that is designed and tested to be able to give you the freedom from glasses and contacts you’ve been looking for, you can be more confident about having it!

You’ve already taken the first step by learning more about the procedure to find out why LASIK is worth considering.
