LASIK Enhances Your Vision Like Never Before!

How Does LASIK Work?

LASIK works by using a laser to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, so that it can better focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye. During the procedure, your LASIK surgeon creates a thin flap on the cornea, which is then lifted to expose the underlying tissue. The laser is then used to remove some of the tissue, reshaping the cornea to the desired curvature. The flap is then repositioned, acting as a natural bandage, allowing the eye to heal without stitches. This reshaping of the cornea corrects refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, resulting in clearer vision with reduced dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

How Quickly Can I Expect Results?

The recovery period for LASIK is typically brief. Although the exact time varies from patient to patient, you can expect to see improved vision and return to work within a couple of days. It will most likely take a couple of weeks for your eyes to be healed entirely; until then, you should avoid activities such as swimming and driving at night. It is also imperative to keep your eyes clean of any soap, lotions, or debris.
