Modern LASIK is a surgical procedure that can help you achieve better visual acuity and reduce dependence on visual aids such as glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is designed to correct refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, by reshaping the corneal tissue, the clear layer covering the front of the eye. With modern LASIK, you can experience improved visual freedom and greater clarity of vision.
The first step involves a comprehensive consultation to discuss vision goals and limitations. This includes a detailed eye examination to determine suitability for LASIK and to understand the specific needs of each patient. Patients are advised to stop wearing contact lenses a few days before this appointment.
Using state-of-the-art technology, Modern LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct your specific vision problems. On the day of the surgery, patients should expect to feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The procedure, which is often painless and quick (taking less than 10 minutes), involves numbing the eyes with anesthetic drops and then using a laser to correct vision by reshaping the cornea. It’s a precise and tailored treatment, with no stitches involved.
You’ll be amazed at how fast you recover. After the surgery, patients might experience watery or hazy vision for a few hours, akin to looking underwater. Recovery is usually rapid, with many patients returning to normal activities the next day. Post-operative care is crucial for optimal healing and might include using prescribed eye drops and avoiding certain activities for a short period.
If you’re considering getting Modern LASIK, the first step is to have a consultation to ensure you’re a good candidate for the procedure. Don’t worry; it’s just a comprehensive eye exam and vision evaluation to ensure your eyes are healthy and your goals are met.
During this consultation, we’ll check your vision, glasses prescription, and corneal thickness and address any questions or concerns you may have. We’ll also ensure your eyes are healthy and free from any eye conditions that could complicate your recovery from the procedure.
We’ll also want to know about your vision goals and lifestyle to determine if Modern LASIK is the right option for you. You can schedule your Modern LASIK surgery date once you are confirmed to be a good candidate for the procedure.
